Check out the interlinear scripture analyzer at www.scripture4all.org

It gives a nice customizable Hebrew and Greek interlinear.

I also use E-sword, on both the pc and on the pocket pc.

I use the greek, esv, septuagint and at times the Hebrew texts for E-sword.

They also have a Strongs, BDB and a few other dictionaries.

If only they had it in the old days I could have saved some money on my BDB as a student!

Scripture4all is excellent and what I am using to help translate Revelation and the book of Isaiah.

Gala 4:30 but what saith the Writing? `Be you casting out! [#1544 ek-bale] the maid-servant and her son, for the son of the maid-servant may not be heir with the son of the free-woman;' [Genesis 21:10/Revelation 11:2 "court of the Preists]

Reve 11:2 and, the Court/Palace [Court of High Priest/Altar of Burnt Offerings?] the one without the Sanctuary[#3485], be you casting out!! [#1544 ek-bale] out-side,[exw #1854] and you should not be measuring, that it was given unto the nations/eqnesin <1484>

I have used BibleWorks for a long time now, with the addition of the BDAG lexicon module its a fantastic tool.

The downside of it is that it is expensive though.

For any Mac users, I highly recommend Accordance. I believe it's similar to Logos (or Bibleworks).

I can have parallel columns in one window with multiple translations and the original language keyed to quality lexica. Different modules are available for different needs.

I can also have a segment of the window open to various commentaries, which go to the appropriate section for whatever passage I'm reading.

I've got some pretty good modules -- all the church fathers, all of Calvin's writings, the Anchor Bible Dictionary, several IVP references (my latest purchase) and a bunch of other things.

Although I still use hardcopy Bibles for personal devotions and teaching, I use Accordance for all my sermon preparation.

Since my repeated emails to the company's tech support and customer service departments were going ignored, and my stepmom's email had apparently suffered the same fate, I finally placed an angry call to the customer service supervisor yesterday morning. While on the phone with her, apparently a tech person walked by her, overheard our conversation, and mentioned that my problems with the software were due to a conflict with Internet Explorer 7 -- in other words, the upgrade they had tried to push on me wouldn't work properly on my machine no matter what!

The supervisor promised that tech support would contact my stepmom sometime during the day, which in fact they did. Unfortunately, part of their instructions had her deleting a file she can't find on her computer: "/Library/Preferences/com.quickverse.com" so this issue is still ongoing.

Needless to say, I am deeply disappointed in this company's handling of tech support issues, and the need to actually call them during their business hours (inconvenient due to time zone differences). I will probably not purchase anything else from this company until they change hands again (which I suspect might be happening right now -- just a hunch).

That program simply ROCKS!!!
It uses the same MS as the NIV = W-H MS for the Greek, but the Hebrew interlinear is fantastic and it parses the Greek/Hebrew words along with tenses, M/F/N etc. I highly recommend it.

I also recommend this Ancient Hebrew study site:

Btw, have any others here used this interlinear?

I use BibleWorks.
But I loved to use my Logos Thomas Nelson Library before it was changed to Libronex..

Now that I have XPpro, I cannot use the Logos, and I don't know how to use it with the Libronex CD they sent to update it.

I too would love some information if anyone is Libronex savvy.

I don't know how to do a poll or I'd make one for the Bible software, because I think my Bibleworks is being wasted on me.

I'm not using many of the features.

Sorry I cannot comment on the programs you're looking at TC.

I use and prefer Libronix and I use it on a Windows98 and a XPpro machine and there is no significant difference between the two machines. I have three different packages, all running under one library, and do not have any major problems. My major package is Ultimate Bible Reference Library. This gives me most of the books I need, and this is now low cost. I am not familiar with the more modern editions. What exactly is the problem? Even the books in the old Nelson packages can be read by the Libronix program. The old Nelson package should be loaded independantly and books placed on the C Drive and then the Libronix reads them as if they were loaded under Libronix.

Libronix looks different, but it is essentially the same as the Nelson once you get used to the way it works. Libronix has more features.

Kind regards
Trevor

Woo Hoo, thanks to you Trevor,
I have phoned Logos, installed
the Libronix system and have
had some fun playing around.
Now that I've gotten so used
to my Bibleworks though, it's
a toss up.

I'm still not as familiar with
the libronix as I was with the
old logos software, which rocked.

Yes, Oblio, esword rocks.
There's also another awesome
FREE online Bible software program.
I've noticed many don't seem to
own Bible software and it's
really not optional if you're going
to do any serious Bible study lol jk.

Anyhow, here's the link

Also, if anyone uses BibleWorks, please
help me, I've messed something up.

thanks,
sunlover
