While English cross-references connect English words that match and Strong's cross-references connect original language words that match, the TSK identifies biblical and theological topics from the passage, showing other places in Scripture where those same topics exist. </p> <p> The original formatting followed the published TSK, which generally highlighted only the first word or two of a referenced phrase. Sometimes, it was difficult to know how much of the phrase was related to the cross-references. Our development team worked hard to improve the tool by highlighting the entire portion of the phrase to the cross-reference results below it. Here is <scriptref parsed="|Eph|1|11|1|11" id="si_1">Ephesians 1:11</scriptref> as an example:<br /> <br /> </p> <a href="/assets-v3/images/new-items/tsk-before-after_900x500.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="/assets-v3/images/new-items/tsk-before-after_900x500.jpg" alt="TSK Before & After" width="385" style="padding: 0; margin-block-start: 5px; margin-inline: autp; border: 0; background-color: #fff;" /></a> <p> As you can see, the original Cross-Refs tool only had one or two words in red. This means that the cross-references related to those words. However, the cross-referenced verses actually relate to entire phrases, as seen in the "After" screenshot. With that in mind, we have updated over 66,000 TSK entries on our site and mobile apps to display the content that is being cross-referenced more accurately. We pray that the time we have spent with this powerful tool makes it easier to use and enhances your time in God's Word. </p> <hr /> <p class="center"> <a href="/geneva-study-bible/" data-ev-cat="New-Items" data-ev-action="[Click] Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available" data-ev-label="New Items Widget [Click] Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available"><img src="/assets-v3/images/new-items/geneva-study_home_378x191.jpg" alt="Image 2: Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available" title="Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available" /></a> </p> <div id="new02" class="hidden newItemsHidden"> <p> <b>Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available</b><br /> </p> <p> The Geneva Bible is one of the most important versions in the history of Bible translation. It stands as a milestone in the development of biblical annotation and commentary. First published in 1560 by Protestant scholars in Geneva, Switzerland, this work was notable for being the first English translation to implement several things. Among these are textual and explanatory study notes in page margins. That is what we are excited to now offer on Blue Letter Bible. </p> <p> The study notes included in the Geneva Bible were compiled from the work of Reformation leaders including John Calvin, John Knox, and others. Their Reformed theological perspective enhanced the reading of the Scriptures and promoted purposeful study of the text by laymen. These notes were comprehensively vast, covering theological, historical, and practical aspects of the text. These will be accessible from the Study tab under <a href="/resources/study-notes.cfm">Bible Study Notes</a>. </p> <p> The Geneva Bible has laid the groundwork for modern study Bibles, which themselves served as the inspiration for applications and websites such as Blue Letter Bible. In the spirit of the Geneva Bible, our ministry desires to give our users the ability to study the written Word in order that they may better understand the living Word, Jesus Christ. We pray that both these study notes from Reformers and the plethora of other resources and tools we offer will benefit your time in God's Word. </p> </div> <p><a class="nia" rel="new02" data-ev-cat="New-Items" data-ev-action="[Read More] Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available" data-ev-label="New Items Widget [Read More] Geneva Bible Study Notes Now Available">Read More</a></p> <hr /> <p class="center"> <a href="/audio_video/pulley_lloyd/" data-ev-cat="New-Items" data-ev-action="[Click] New!

It was a key factor in readability as Greek had become the common language by the time of Christ. At Blue Letter Bible, we have offered the Septuagint (LXX) for many years, which is regarded as the most credible Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament. Now, we are pleased to offer Brenton's English Septuagint (BES), an English translation of the Greek Septuagint. </p> <p> Being able to offer an English rendering of the Septuagint is an amazing opportunity. In the preface of the BES, the writer makes a statement about the importance of the LXX: </p> <p class="text-center" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"> "It is not only a translation of the Old Testament, but it is the Old Testament translated into the language of the New. Let it be remembered that the Gospel was in its aspect to the world a Hellenistic thing." </p> <p> <b>Why Provide Septuagint Resources?</b><br /> </p> <p> At BLB, we recognize the usefulness of studying God's Word using the Greek Septuagint, especially in instances where a New Testament writer references the Greek Septuagint translation. Thus, the BES translation is just one more of the in-depth Septuagint tools that we offer. While checking out the BES, be sure to open up the Tools button, and <a href="/bes/gen/1/1/t_conc_1001">take a look</a> at the Septuagint tab with each Greek word and parsing. </p> </div> <p><a
