A STUDY DESK FOR THE FAITHFUL
Enjoy spiritual food.
Work through the Holy Bible chapter by chapter with the Masoretic text beside it, a summary of how the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint compare, and your own notes and cross-links kept in place. Connect all of the dots that form the basis of your faith in the Messiah.
Masoretic Text
The vocalised Hebrew behind most English Old Testaments, shown line by line alongside the English.
Dead Sea Scrolls
Where the Judaean Desert manuscripts attest a passage — and where they read differently.
Septuagint
The ancient Greek rendering that the first-century writers most often quoted.
Language & culture
Root meanings, semantic range, and the society the words were first spoken into.
The reading text is the King James Version, which is free of copyright. The New World Translation is not reproduced here — each chapter links out to it on jw.org so you can read the two side by side. Background notes on the ancient witnesses are generated summaries for study orientation, not a substitute for a critical apparatus.
