What Wield Bible does

  • Reading

    The King James Bible in the Pure Cambridge Edition, with the translators’ italics, the words of Christ in red, the 1611 marginal notes and paragraph marks. Scroll, or turn pages like a book.

  • Hebrew and Greek

    The Hebrew Old Testament and the Textus Receptus in Scrivener’s 1894 and Stephanus’s 1550 editions: under each verse, side by side, or word by word, with Strong’s and Abbott-Smith.

  • Search

    Phrases, AND, OR and NOT, words near each other, Strong’s numbers, and the Hebrew and Greek themselves. A concordance and word statistics show where every word is used.

  • A library that stays with the text

    Matthew Henry, John Gill, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown; Easton’s, Smith’s and Webster’s 1828; the Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. Each follows the verse you are reading.

  • Maps

    The Bible lands in each period, with journeys, battles, kingdoms and borders, Jerusalem through the centuries, and notes on the sites you can visit today.

  • Study, teach and preach

    Notes, highlights, collections, memory verses and reading plans, kept in step on all your devices. Prepare a lesson or sermon and present it with a presenter view.

Wield Bible runs in a web browser, online or offline. Versions for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad and Android are being prepared.
