Exegesis

ἐξηγέομαι · to lead out

Read the Bible in the languages it was written in.

Exegesis draws meaning out of the text through its grammar and words; eisegesis reads meaning into it. This is a reading desk for the first — the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament, built for the serious student who has not yet learned the languages, and the one who has.

1 Peter 3:21

ὃ καὶ ὑμᾶς ἀντίτυπον νῦν σῴζει βάπτισμα, οὐ σαρκὸς ἀπόθεσις ῥύπου ἀλλὰ συνειδήσεως ἀγαθῆς ἐπερώτημα εἰς θεόν…

ἐπερώτημα · noun, nominative singular neuter · occurs once in the NT

Three stages of apprenticeship

  1. I

    The Expository Reader

    Available now

    Read the Greek New Testament with an interlinear gloss. Tap any word for its dictionary form, plain-English grammar, pronunciation and lexicon entry, then trace it across the whole New Testament — with landmarks (guard rails) against the root fallacy and illegitimate totality transfer.

  2. II

    The Hermeneutical Disciple

    Available now

    The Hebrew Old Testament with the Septuagint beneath it, parsing drills (Rightly Dividing), clause-by-clause syntax (The Scribe's Desk), adjudication cards for genitives, participles, word meanings and textual readings, and the trace from Hebrew root through the Septuagint into the New Testament.

  3. III

    The Research Philologist

    Planned

    A research workspace: textual-variant logs, notes anchored to the text, and SBL-style citation — for sustained, publishable exegetical work.

The text, not the translation

Every word is tied to the Greek behind it: lemma, form, Strong's number and the editions that support it.

Grammar in plain English

Parsing comes with what each form tells you — and what it does not. An aorist is not automatically “once for all”.

Heard, not only seen

Switch between Erasmian, reconstructed Koine and Modern Greek pronunciation, with respelling and IPA.
