We are excited to announce that after nearly three years of development, by God\u2019s grace, we have completed this project as of November 2023.\u00a0This includes\u00a0over 46,000 total verses mapped (23,000 per version) and over 532,000 Hebrew words updated (266,000 per version)\u2014all of which took over 2,000 cumulative hours of work!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nEffectively, mapping refers to connecting every Hebrew word to every English word. However, there are many instances where a single Hebrew word is linked to multiple English words, and vice versa. This made it a complex project, which meant we needed a team of specialists to methodically work through the data. And so, through our seminary contacts, we hired several Hebrew language specialists to begin mapping.<\/p>\n<p>The accuracy of our tools and resources is vital to us because of its importance to rightly dividing the Word of God. Therefore, we aim to develop and enhance the tools and resources that we offer so that you, our users, can more faithfully understand God&#8217;s Word. With this thorough mapping of Hebrew to English, we pray that God will use our efforts to bless your time in the study of His Word for His glory.<\/p>\n<p>Our sincere thanks go out to the dedicated team members who spent many hours diligently linking words and reviewing verses. Back in 2022, we took some time to interview\u00a0a few of them to get their thoughts on the project.
