Interlinear Bible with Hebrew and Greek
See every Old Testament verse in Hebrew and every New Testament verse in Greek, aligned word-by-word with English translation, Strong's concordance numbers, and grammatical parsing.
What is an Interlinear Bible?
An interlinear Bible displays the original Hebrew or Greek text of scripture directly alongside its English translation, word by word. Unlike a standard Bible translation where you only see the translator's final English rendering, an interlinear lets you see exactly which Hebrew or Greek word corresponds to each English word -- and what that original word actually means.
The Old Testament was originally written in Biblical Hebrew (with small portions in Aramaic), while the New Testament was composed in Koine Greek. Every English Bible, including the King James Version used by Christians, is a translation of these original texts. Translation always involves interpretive choices, and sometimes a single Hebrew word carries a richness of meaning that no single English word can capture.
Gospel Daily's Interlinear Reader gives you direct access to both Hebrew and Greek texts for every verse in the Old and New Testaments. Each original-language word is displayed with its transliteration (so you can see how it sounds), its Strong's concordance number (linking to the full lexical entry), and its English gloss. You can tap any word to explore its root meaning, see every other place it appears in scripture, and trace its semantic range.
For Christians, this tool opens a dimension of scripture study that was previously available only through expensive academic software or years of language training. When you can see that the Hebrew word translated as 'lovingkindness' in the KJV is 'hesed' -- a covenantal term describing God's steadfast, loyal love -- passages about God's mercy take on deeper resonance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an interlinear Bible?
An interlinear Bible places the original Hebrew or Greek text directly above or below the English translation, word by word. This lets you see exactly which original-language word corresponds to each English word, along with grammatical information and Strong's concordance numbers.
Do I need to know Hebrew or Greek to use the Interlinear Reader?
No. Every Hebrew and Greek word includes a transliteration (showing how the word sounds in English letters), a Strong's concordance number, and an English gloss. The tool is designed to make original-language study accessible to anyone, regardless of language background.
What Bible translation does the Interlinear Reader use?
The English alignment is based on the King James Version, which is the standard English Bible used by the Christian church. The Hebrew text is from the Masoretic tradition and the Greek from the standard critical text.
Can I use this for Bible study?
The Interlinear Reader covers the Old Testament (Hebrew) and New Testament (Greek), since these are the volumes originally written in those languages. For Bible language study, Gospel Daily offers separate tools including the Etymology Explorer and Translation Compare features.
What are Strong's concordance numbers?
Strong's numbers are a reference system created by James Strong in 1890 that assigns a unique number to every Hebrew and Greek root word in the Bible. They allow you to look up the original meaning of any word without knowing the original language, and to find every place that same word appears across scripture.
