Interlinear
Word-by-word Hebrew and Greek alongside English
Overview
The Interlinear tab shows the full current chapter with each English word paired with its original Hebrew (Old Testament) or Greek (New Testament) equivalent, transliteration, morphology code (NT only), and Strong's number.
Installing interlinear modules
The Interlinear tab requires dedicated interlinear modules in your modules folder:
- iESVTH_.SQLite3 — English-Greek New Testament interlinear (ESV + Tyndale House GNT)
- IHOT_.SQLite3 — Hebrew Old Testament interlinear with Strong's numbers
Place these in your modules folder alongside your other modules. ScriptureStudy detects them automatically.
Reading the word cells
Each word in the chapter appears as a small cell. For the New Testament the layout is:
| Row | Content |
|---|---|
| Top | English word |
| Middle | Greek word (original script) |
| Italic | Morphology code (e.g. V-AAI-3S, CONJ) |
| Bottom | Strong's number (e.g. G25) |
For the Old Testament, the Hebrew word appears on top (right-to-left), with the English translation below and the Strong's number at the bottom.
Looking up a word
Tap any word cell to select it. A card slides up from the bottom of the tab showing the Strong's entry — the original word, transliteration, pronunciation, short definition, and KJV usage. The card is scrollable for longer entries.
Tap Full entry in Dictionaries → inside the card to switch to the Dictionaries tab and see the complete lexicon entry. Tap the word cell again or press ✕ to dismiss the card.
Scroll sync
The Interlinear tab stays in sync with the verse you have selected in the main Bible panel, scrolling automatically to keep the relevant verse in view.
Morphology codes (NT)
Each Greek word displays a morphology tag. Some common codes:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| V-AAI-3S | Verb, Aorist, Active, Indicative, 3rd person Singular |
| N-NSM | Noun, Nominative, Singular, Masculine |
| T-ASM | Article, Accusative, Singular, Masculine |
| CONJ | Conjunction |
| ADV | Adverb |
