What's New

Encyclopedia now appears in the navigation bar on every page across Hebroni — including all 600 law articles, the commandments page, breakdowns, news, and the homepage. On desktop it sits after News in the menubar; on mobile it's in the slide-out menu. Deep links to individual entries also work: /encyclopedia/#enc-abraham, /encyclopedia/#enc-moses, and so on for all 133 entries — link directly into the encyclopedia from any page.

Every person in the Table of Nations now has their own dedicated page at /tree/[name]/ — 112 pages covering the patriarchs, matriarchs, prophets, judges, kings, and the 70 nations of Genesis 10. Each page shows the full lineage, Hebrew name, scriptural role, and cross-links to related family members and Scripture passages. Major entries include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Rachel, Leah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, Nimrod, and the 12 tribes. Also added: The Twelve Tribes overview page.

The full 613 commandments grid is now available in Spanish at /blog/es/613-mandamientos/ — same search, filter chips, study popups, and verse blocks as the English page, with all commandment names and context translated. Filter by All, Positive, Negative, or the Ten Commandments; search by name; tap any entry to open the full study popup in Spanish.

Every verse across all four Gospels is now available in Spanish. Open any Gospel verse page and find the original Koiné Greek text, the King James Version, and a modern Spanish translation side by side — 3,779 verse pages, from Mateo 1:1 through Juan 21:25. Each page is at /en/the-gospel/{book}/{chapter}/{verse}/es/.

• Mateo (Matthew) — 28 chapters
• Marcos (Mark) — 16 chapters
• Lucas (Luke) — 24 chapters
• Juan (John) — 21 chapters · Juan 3:16

Every commandment God gave to Israel through Moses is now published at The Laws. All 248 positive commands and 365 prohibitions — each with a source verse in Hebrew and English, the full biblical history of how Israel upheld or violated it, key figures from Scripture, and five study questions with linked scripture references. The final batches added the gap commandments in the #509–590 range, including the Nazirite cluster, the parental authority laws, the judicial ethics set, the Temple property laws, and the constitutional laws closing at #590. The complete list runs from Commandment #1 to Commandment #613.

The study question citations at the bottom of every breakdown article — previously plain text like "See Deut 6:9; Josh 24:15" — are now clickable links that open the cited verse directly in the Torah, Prophets, or Writings reader. All 600 articles updated. Tap a reference and land directly on the passage.

The Mezuzah commandment (#15) article was missing from the series and has been added — covering the doorpost from Passover blood to permanent Shema, Joshua's household declaration, and the Onkelos story. Five earlier articles (revere the temple, kohanim wash hands and feet, kohanim temple service, teach Torah to children, study Torah) had a CSS formatting issue that caused them to display without any styling — now resolved.

The latest batch in The Laws covers the final dietary prohibitions and the Nazirite vow cluster: chelev (the internal suet fats of cattle, sheep, and goat — burned on the altar as God's portion, forbidden to humans), tevel (produce that hasn't had its priestly and Levite portions separated — still sacred, not yet the farmer's to eat), vow delay (a vow made to God must be paid before three pilgrimage festivals pass), and the six Nazirite laws — no grapes, no wine, no seeds, no skins, no cutting the hair, no contact with the dead — a total separation from the vine and from death for the length of the vow. The batch closes with the opening of the incest code at Leviticus 18:7 — the first and most foundational forbidden relationship. The Laws is now at 516 of 613.

Cards in the Discover feed now lay out as a single horizontal row — the type label, the title, and the subtitle flow one after the other from left to right. On phones, the full title shows without truncation. On wider screens, the subtitle follows the title on the same line. The result is faster to scan: each card reads in one sweep instead of stacking vertically.

When you open a news article, breakdown scene, or laws study on a device set to Spanish, a small prompt appears at the bottom asking if you'd like to switch to the Spanish version. Tap yes and you go straight there. Tap dismiss once and it never asks again — the choice sticks across every page and every visit.

The commandments section in every nav menu is now labeled 613 — a cleaner signal for what you'll find there. Tap it from anywhere on the site and the commandments page opens with The First Ten already selected, so the Ten Commandments show first without any extra taps.

Scene illustrations inside Breakdown pages now fill their container edge-to-edge. The previous layout left narrow bars top and bottom when the image aspect ratio didn't match the frame. The image now covers the full area, the way the artwork was meant to be seen.

The Hebroni Scripture API now serves the entire Hebrew Bible and the Gospel — 31,159 verses across all four corpora. The Torah was already available; Nevi'im (Prophets — Joshua through Malachi), Ketuvim (Writings — Psalms, Proverbs, Job, and ten more), and the Gospel (all 27 books from Matthew to Revelation) are now live alongside it. Every verse includes Hebrew or Greek source text, a King James translation, and modern plain English. Search by keyword, pull verses by topic, request a Verse of the Day, or query feast-day calendar data for any year from 2024 through 2030. The API is available on RapidAPI — see the developer guide for endpoints and examples.

The developer guide at hebroni.com/api/ is rewritten to cover the full API. It lists all 66 book codes organized by corpus, documents every endpoint with request examples in JavaScript, Python, and curl, and shows sample JSON responses. The 38 available topics are listed in full — filtering verses by theme (faith, redemption, messiah, prophecy, and 34 more) across all four corpora with a single request.

Scroll down twice from the homepage and the landing page transitions into a continuous discovery feed. Seven types of content rotate through in sequence: Who is (a person or nation from the Family Tree), Read about (a news or history article), Illustrated (a Breakdown scene), Hebrew Calendar (today's Hebrew date), From the 613 (a commandment from The Laws), Prayer (a classic Hebrew prayer with the original text), and Scripture (a verse that opens directly in the Bible Reader). Every link opens in a new tab. Scroll back to the top and scroll up again to return to the homepage.

The Hebrew Calendar card in the Discover feed now shows today's actual Hebrew date — day, month, and year — computed fresh on every visit. Cards in the feed cascade in one by one as the feed opens rather than appearing all at once. A gentle "Discover ↓" hint pulses at the bottom of the homepage to point the way in — it disappears the first time you scroll into the feed.

The Hebroni homepage is rebuilt from the ground up. Every visit opens with a rotating Hebrew Bible verse — original Hebrew with English translation — that links straight into the Bible Reader at that exact passage. Below it, a live search bar lets you look up any verse reference, breakdown, article, or person and see results as you type, before you even press Enter. Four illustrated cards give you a one-hover preview of the Torah Reader, Breakdowns, The Laws, and the Family Tree — so you can orient yourself in seconds.

A dedicated search page now covers everything on Hebroni in one place. Type a verse reference like Genesis 1:7 or Psalm 23:1 — including formats with spaces around the colon — and the Bible Reader opens at that exact verse. Results are grouped by type: Bible reference first, then Breakdowns and The Laws, then News & Articles, then People & Nations. Every result on every search surface (homepage dropdown, menu search, and the full page) follows the same order and the same verse-reader links.

The Laws jumps from 220 to 340, covering eight major clusters:

• #221–229: Sacred calendar musafot — the additional offerings for Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, every pilgrimage festival (Passover's seven-day sequence, Shavuot's two-loaves offering, Sukkot's descending 70-bull sequence representing Israel's priestly intercession for the nations), Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur
• #230–240: Temple vow and civil law cluster — the erech fixed-value person dedication, the irrevocable cherem devotion (Achan at Jericho, Saul and Agag), the four-custodian bailment system, loan protections, commercial kinyan, the two-witness testimony standard, and eidim zomemim mirror-punishment for false witnesses
• #241–270: Moral foundations + the complete anti-idolatry and occult cluster — preserve your own life, emulate God's attributes (imitatio Dei grounded in four narrative moments), choose life; then 20 consecutive prohibitions covering every form of idolatry and the occult: no other gods, no graven image, no bowing, no service in any form, no mentioning other gods' names, no Asherah tree, no standing pillar, no covenant with idolaters; then divination, astrology, enchantment, sorcery, spells, and consulting the dead
• #271–280: Shabbat, holy days, and Temple service boundaries — no cursing God or a judge, then the three Shabbat labor prohibitions (work, fire-kindling, carrying), no work on Yom Kippur or festivals, and two commandments guarding Temple service boundaries (no non-Kohen at the altar, no Levite crossing into Kohanic service)
• #281–290: Priestly conduct and marriage purity — no intoxication before Temple service (given to Aaron directly after Nadav and Avihu's deaths), the Kohen Gadol's restrictions on public mourning and leaving the sanctuary, and six marriage-purity commandments for Kohanim (no divorcee, no zonah, no chalal lineage)
• #291–310: Altar integrity, sacred food, and terumah access — the blemished-offering cluster (no blemished animal, no slaughtering it, no consecrating it, no accepting it from a gentile, no causing a blemish on a consecrated animal), plus sacred-food and terumah access rules (the impure, non-Kohanim, hired workers, the uncircumcised Kohen, a Kohen's daughter married outside — each a separate prohibition)
• #311–330: Eight-commandment Passover chametz cluster + offering laws + Shemitah opening — chametz forbidden in any form, in possession, as a leavening agent in the home, mixed into dough, and for all seven days; Passover offering rules (no slaughtering with chametz present, no leaving fat overnight, no breaking a bone, no removing meat outside); then the sabbatical year's first commandments (no working the land, no sowing)
• #331–340: Shemitah completion, poverty ethics, and Dietary Laws opening — the final Shemitah agricultural prohibitions (no pruning, no harvesting aftergrowth, no grape harvest during the seventh year); Deuteronomy 15's poverty ethics (no hardening the heart toward the poor, no closing the hand — both clauses of one verse); the land and Levite city protections; and the first two Dietary Laws (no non-kosher animals, no creeping creatures)

Combined with the Ten Commandments deep studies announced June 24, The Laws now has 345 of 613 commandments published. Each article covers the Torah source, full biblical history — violations, restorations, prophetic echoes — key figures, and 5 study questions.

Every one of the Ten Commandments now has a full deep-study breakdown in The Laws. The five newly added articles complete the set:

• Do Not Murder — the Hebrew root retzach (murder specifically, not all killing), every life as an image of God (Genesis 9:6), Cain and Abel, cities of refuge for accidental killers, and why no ransom may substitute for a murderer's life (Numbers 35:31)
• Do Not Commit Adultery — one of the three sins one must die rather than cross, David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11), Nathan's parable, Psalm 51 as the Decalogue's model of teshuvah, and Hosea's marriage as the prophetic image of Israel's covenant with God
• Do Not Steal — the rabbinic debate over whether the Decalogue's lo tignov means kidnapping or property theft, Leviticus 19:11's companion prohibition, and the Torah's restorative logic (make the victim whole, not just punish)
• Do Not Bear False Witness — perjury as judicial murder, the eidim zomemim law (Deuteronomy 19:19 — false witnesses receive the punishment they intended), and how Naboth's accusers weaponized the Torah's own two-witness safeguard
• Do Not Covet — the only Decalogue commandment that reaches inside desire itself before any act, Rambam's ladder from coveting to theft to violence, and Ahab's coveting of Naboth's vineyard as the paradigm case

Each article opens with the Hebrew source verse, walks through the commandment's full biblical history, and closes with study questions.

Every one of Matthew's 28 chapters is now available in Spanish — 1,071 verse pages live. Open any verse and you'll find three translations sitting side by side: the original Greek Koiné, King James, and a fresh modern Español. That covers everything from the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's Prayer to the parables of the sower, the ten virgins, and the talents — through the Passion narrative, the crucifixion, and the Great Commission. You can now read Mateo one verse at a time, at your own pace, in the language you know best.

Units 4 (Nikud/Vowel Marks), 5 (Pronunciation), and 6 (Hebrew Roots) each now have a full-screen practice drill — 10 questions drawn from a pool of 16 each session. In Unit 4, match each nikud sign to the sound it makes. In Unit 5, test how Ashkenazi and Yemenite traditions differ on letters like ח, ע, and ו. In Unit 6, identify which 3-letter root powers words like שָׁלוֹם (shalom), מִדְבָּר (wilderness), and מִקְדָּשׁ (Temple). Score 9 or 10 to earn +30 XP.

5,852 Spanish verse pages are now live across the entire Torah — Genesis through Deuteronomy. Open any verse and you'll find it in three translations side by side: Reina-Valera (1909), King James, and a fresh modern Spanish. Hebrew word tiles let you tap any word to hear it pronounced.

The Laws grows from 180 to 220, adding two clusters — family and social law, then a Temple and worship run — with every cited verse linked into Hebroni's readers:

• #181–190: Bury the dead promptly (kavod ha-met), welcome guests (hachnasat orchim), the Hebrew male and female slave and their release, the intentional murderer's punishment, exile the accidental killer to a city of refuge, establish the cities of refuge with roads and signposts, Levitical cities, the right of land redemption (go'el ha-adamah), and the eglah arufah ceremony for an unsolved murder in the field
• #191–200: The bill of divorce (the get), the captive woman (yefat toar) and her year of mourning, the firstborn's double inheritance (pi shnayim), the stubborn and rebellious son (ben sorer u-moreh), burial of the executed, returning all lost objects, helping an enemy's struggling animal, the mixed-seeds prohibition (kilayim), the wool-linen prohibition (shatnez), and attaching tzitzit to four-cornered garments
• #201–210: Mezuzah on the doorposts, teaching Torah to your children, honoring the elderly (ve-hadarta mipenei sevah), dwelling in a sukkah seven days, waving the lulav and etrog on Sukkot, hearing the shofar on Rosh Hashanah, fasting on Yom Kippur, the universal sukkah obligation for all native Israelites, the Hakhel assembly, and the king writing his own Torah scroll
• #211–220: The king reading Torah aloud at Hakhel, the king's limits on horses and wealth, building the Temple ("let them make me a sanctuary"), adding wood each morning to keep the altar fire burning, the two daily tamid lambs morning and at twilight, the High Priest's Yom Kippur service in the Holy of Holies, preparing the sacred anointing oil, compounding the eleven-spice ketoret incense, bringing pure beaten olive oil for the menorah, and setting the twelve showbread loaves before God every Shabbat

Each article covers the commandment's Torah source, its full biblical history — violations, restorations, prophetic echoes — key figures, and 5 study questions.

Searching a verse like Isaiah 53:5 or Job 2:5 now takes you straight to that verse for every book — some books were sending you to the wrong place or not working at all. Searching just a book name (e.g. Isaiah) or a book and chapter (e.g. Isaiah 53) now opens the Bible Reader directly at that passage.

The language courses hub now opens a clean two-path modal when you choose Hebrew — Classic (letter-by-letter aleph-bet, nikud, dagesh) or Conversational (scene-based phrases, greetings, blessings, feasts). The old three-option hub has been replaced. The structured Hebrew Curriculum is still one tap away from the modal.

Each letter card in the Classic course now opens with its pictographic origin — the ancient image the letter evolved from. Aleph reveals 🐂 (ox head — strength, the first), Bet shows 🏠 (house / tent floor plan), Gimel shows 🐪 (camel), and so on through Tav (🎯 the mark/cross). The emoji + short description appear under the Hebrew symbol on the first stage of every card.

A brand-new course at /learn/modern/ — vocalized Hebrew phrases organized into five scenes, each with transliteration and root context:

• Greetings — Shalom, Boker tov, Ma shlomkha, Todah, Selichah
• Shabbat — Shabbat Shalom, L'Chayyim, Shavua tov, Kiddush
• Blessings — Barukh HaShem, B'ezrat HaShem, Amen, the Priestly Blessing
• Feasts — Chag Sameach, Mo'ed, Pesach, Shanah Tovah, Gmar chatimah
• Everyday — Ken, Lo, Beseder, Mah zeh, Daber le'at, Kol tuv

Every phrase card opens with the root and scriptural context when tapped. Web Speech API lets you hear the phrase in Hebrew.

The Curriculum page has been cleaned up — the program name "SHUV" and its logo are gone. The page is now simply the Hebrew Curriculum: Foundation Year → Year One/Shoresh → Year Two/Dikduk, with all 11 units intact.

The phrase that has become a term of endearment is actually an image of the pupil — the most protected point on the human body. This article unpacks the Hebrew word ishon, the covenantal context of the Song of Moshe, who the verse is speaking to, and what Zechariah 2:8 adds: whoever touches Israel touches the pupil of Yah's eye.

The most prophesied event in the Hebrew scriptures, documented from the texts written centuries before it happened. The article traces the prophecy anchors, the Passover week sequence, the signs at the moment of death (the torn veil, the earthquake, the opened tombs), and the Luke 21 warning about 70 CE that Yeshua gave 40 years in advance.

"I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." Yeshua said this himself. This article asks who the lost sheep are (the scattered ten tribes, per Hosea 1 and Ezekiel 34), what lost means, and then how Romans 11's olive tree grafting describes the nations' entry — not into a new religion, but into Israel's own covenant tree at Israel's own root.

The community first called Christian was in Antioch (Acts 11:26). Its five named leaders in Acts 13:1 include a Black African prophet (Shimon called Niger) and a Cyrenaian African (Lucius of Cyrene). They kept the seventh-day Sabbath, the Hebrew calendar appointed times, and the Torah commandments. This article documents the shifts — Ignatius (108 CE), Constantine's Sunday Law (321 CE), the Council of Nicaea (325 CE) — and includes a side-by-side comparison of the original community and modern Christianity.

Five visual anchors added to the Deuteronomy 28 article at key moments in the curse sequence: the stranger rising above / Israelite going beneath (vv. 43–44), the iron yoke of servitude (v. 48), the slave ships from a West African coastal port (v. 68), the slave market scene with no redeemer (v'ein qoneh), and the trans-Saharan caravan representing the scattering to all nations (v. 64).

Unit 3 now has a dedicated section explaining dagesh (the dot that changes pronunciation, not value) and sofit forms (end-of-word letter variants with the same value in standard gematria). The drill pool grows from 10 to 16 questions — each session picks 10 at random, now including dagesh pairs (ב vs בּ, כ vs כּ, פ vs פּ), sofit value questions (ך, ם, ן), and a concept question asking what a dagesh actually changes.

Unit 2 (Square Script Recognition) replaces its Study/Drill tab bar with a persistent study grid and a new banner-style drill trigger. Tapping "Begin →" launches a full-screen 10-question overlay — the same pattern used in Unit 1. The banner previews three Hebrew letters (א מ ת) as a visual teaser before you start.

The speak button now reliably plays Hebrew audio on first tap in Chrome. Chrome's Web Speech API returns an empty voice list on the first call until the voiceschanged event fires — voices are now cached on page load, so the Hebrew voice is always available when you tap a letter or word.

The Laws grows from 150 to 180 — every cited verse hyperlinked straight into Hebroni's readers:

• #151–160: Remember the Exodus daily, sanctify the new month (Rosh Chodesh), Shabbat Shabbaton, repent and return to God (teshuvah), confess sins verbally (vidui), write a Torah scroll, work the land six years, and the dietary laws of Orlah and signs for kosher birds and animals
• #161–170: Redeem fourth-year fruit (neta revai), bring first fruits (bikkurim), dedicate a new house (chanukkat habayit), guard your soul, build a roof parapet (ma'akeh), return lost property (hashavas aveida), help unload and reload an animal's burden (perikah and te'inah), return stolen goods, and pay damages for injury
• #171–180: Walled-city house redemption, redeem a Hebrew sold to a foreigner, raise a fallen animal (haqem taqim), laws against overcharging (onaah), pay wages on time (bal talin), speak truth in court (oath of the witness), circumcision (brit milah), rise before Torah scholars and the elderly, acts of loving-kindness (gemilut chasadim), and visit the sick (bikur holim)

Every article covers the commandment's Torah source, its full biblical history — violations, restorations, prophetic echoes — key figures, and 5 study questions.

Each of the 12 Tribes of Israel now has its own dedicated page — illustration, founding narrative, tribal geography, key figures, blessings from Yaakov and Moshe, and linked scripture references. Browse from the 12 Tribes overview or go directly to any tribe:

• Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali
• Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin

The 12 Tribes overview page now links each tribe card directly to its profile, and the Table of Nations includes quick-link chips for all 12.

The genealogical index is now nearly complete. Every figure in the Family Tree database has their own page — meaning, era, father and mother, notable events, and scripture references. New pages span the full biblical timeline:

• Antediluvian patriarchs — Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Yared, Chanoch (Enoch), Metushelach (Methuselah), Lemech, and the full Shem line down to Terach
• Messianic line — Tamar to Zerubavel — Tamar, Peretz, through the full chain: Salmon, Oved, and all 16 kings of Yehudah from Rechavam to Yechonyahu, then the post-exile line through Zerubavel
• The "silent generation" — the 8 names between Zerubavel and Yosef of Nazareth: Aviud through Mattan
• The NT line — Yaakov (Yosef's father), Yosef of Nazareth, Miryam, and Yeshua
• Tribal sons — the named sons of Reuven, Shimon, Levi, Yehudah, Dan, and Naftali — clan founders whose names became Israel's sub-tribal geography

The Interactives Wiki now has a Family Tree section at the top — direct links to the Table of Nations interactive and the 12 Tribes of Israel overview alongside the existing Hebrew Study, Curriculum, and other tools.

A close reading of John 3:16 in its own paragraph — the midnight dialogue with Nikodemos, the Numbers 21 bronze serpent that the verse directly anchors to, what the Greek word kosmos actually means across John's Gospel, what monogenes means in Hebrews 11:17, and what the verses immediately before and after say. The popular reading of John 3:16 pulls it out of a paragraph. This article puts it back. ~18 min read.

A foundational article on the people the Bible is about: where the name Yisrael came from (the wrestling at the Yabok), the patrilineal-tribal framework the Bible itself uses (Yosef, Moshe, Boaz — all examples examined in text), the history from Avraham through the Assyrian deportation and the coming of the Messiah, the distinction between Israelite / Yehudi / Jewish as three non-identical terms, the lost sheep of Ezekiel 34 and Matthew 15:24, and how the nations are gathered into the same olive tree. ~20 min read.

The homepage got a top-to-bottom pass aimed at first-time visitors:

• The hero is now two short lines instead of two overlapping paragraphs
• "Three things you can do on Hebroni" and the daily Scripture verse now appear right after the hero — before the news feed — so new visitors are oriented immediately
• The Scripture Illustrated slider now shows exactly 7 scenes, one representative illustration from each era — Creation, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and the Exodus — matching the filters on Breakdowns
• News & Articles now mixes two long-read articles with one shorter blog post every time you visit

The Creation arc on Breakdowns has been split into two filters: Creation (Genesis 1–4, 10 scenes — Let There Be Light through the Birth of Seth) and a new Noah filter (Genesis 6–11, 9 scenes — Noah Building the Ark through the Scattering at Babel, including the Table of Nations). All 208 illustrated scenes remain under "All".

The Laws jumped from 101 to 150 — every cited verse hyperlinked straight into Hebroni's own readers:

• #102–110: The firstborn donkey, dedicating objects to the Temple, firstborn animals, the first shearing of a flock, and the five core offerings
• #111–120: Offerings, vows and oaths, and the laws of marriage
• #121–130: Levirate marriage (yibbum) and chalitzah, the ketubah and the get (bill of divorce), love your neighbor, love the convert, tzedakah, lending without interest, and freeing the Hebrew slave after six years with parting gifts
• #131–140: The Jubilee release of Hebrew slaves, honoring and revering parents, honoring Torah scholars, rebuking your neighbor, the forty lashes, and a new Courts & Justice cluster — appointing judges in every city, pursuing justice, judging righteously, and testifying when you have evidence
• #141–150: Establishing the Great Sanhedrin, two new categories — Kingship & Leadership (appointing and honoring a king) and Laws of War (mandatory war, purity of the camp, offering peace before battle) — plus marking property boundaries, the Nazirite vow and its completion, and honest weights and measures

More commandments added every session — on pace to cover all 613.

Beyond the interactive Table of Nations viewer, major figures now have their own dedicated pages — full illustration, biography, and cross-links to relatives. The Conquest & Judges cluster is live first:

• Yehoshua bin Nun, Calev ben Yefuneh, Rahav, Devorah ha-Neviah, Shimshon, Boaz, and Ruth
• Yael, Gidon, Yiftach, Chana, Shmuel ha-Navi, Shaul ben Kish, Yehonatan, Avshalom, Eliyahu ha-Navi, and Elisha

Following Genesis, the Spanish Torah Reader has now finished all 40 chapters of Exodus — 1,213 verses, Hebrew alongside Reina-Valera 1909, KJV, and Modern Spanish. Leviticus (Vayikra) has begun, with chapters 1–16 already live.

The flashcard deck has moved into the same design as the rest of the site at Hebrew Flashcards — all 22 aleph-bet letters, final forms, nikud, dagesh, and prefixes, with the same flip-to-reveal cards, audio pronunciation, filters, and streak/XP tracking as before, now in a responsive layout that works as well on a phone as a desktop. The old /flashcards/ page still works while the rest of the app migrates over.

A new Hebrew Quiz joins the Learn lineup — multiple choice, symbol recognition, and matching rounds covering letters, final forms, nikud, dagesh, and prefixes, with a live score bar, streak/XP rewards, and an end-of-round review of anything you missed. Both Flashcards and Quiz now default to the 1A Letters set in curriculum order, with a one-tap toggle to shuffle, and size up nicely on larger screens while staying compact on mobile.

Your Progress brings together everything tracked across the Learn tools into one dashboard: current and longest streaks, total XP and level, SHUV curriculum progress unit by unit, flashcard mastery by set, an accuracy history chart from your quiz results, your recent study sessions, and earned badges. Everything is stored locally in your browser — no account needed — with a one-click reset if you want to start fresh.

The light/dark toggle introduced on the homepage now appears on every major hub page — Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, Gospel, 613, What's New, Interactives, Breakdowns, News, Table of Nations, and Calendar. Your preference is remembered across pages.

The homepage hero now leads with four quick-access pillars — Read the Word, Learn the Language, Study Tools, and Interactive — so the site's main study paths are one click away from the very first screen.

Fourteen articles in News & Articles now have a sticky table of contents on desktop and a floating "Contents" button on mobile that opens a quick-jump sheet — and the section you're reading highlights automatically as you scroll. No more guessing how long a piece is or hunting for the part you wanted to re-read.

Following Genesis, the Spanish Torah Reader has begun Exodus — Shemot — with dedicated verse pages for chapters 1 through 14, each showing Reina-Valera 1909, the KJV, and a Modern Spanish translation side by side with the Hebrew. The exodus from Egypt, the burning bush, the ten plagues, and the crossing of the sea are now fully readable in Spanish, with the rest of Exodus following chapter by chapter.

Every chapter of Genesis — Bereshit, all 50 chapters and 1,533 verses — now has its own dedicated page in Spanish, each showing the Hebrew alongside Reina-Valera 1909, the KJV, and a fresh Modern Spanish translation. From "En el principio" through Jacob's blessing over his twelve sons, the whole book is readable verse by verse in Spanish for the first time on Hebroni. Exodus is next.

The Hebrew Prayers interactive used to put all eight prayers behind a single URL. Each one now has its own page with its own title, description, and a study question:

• Shema — "Hear, O Israel"
• V'ahavta — "And You Shall Love," Deuteronomy 6:5–9
• The Priestly Blessing — Birkat Kohanim, Numbers 6:24–26
• Aleinu — "It Is Upon Us," the prayer that closes every service
• Ein Kelohenu — "There Is None Like Our God," the Shabbat hymn of praise
• HaMotzi — the blessing over bread, Deuteronomy 8:3
• Kiddush — the Shabbat sanctification over wine
• Modeh Ani — the first words spoken upon waking

Same word-by-word study, audio, and study/pray toggle as before — just with a real address for each prayer.

Before Israel ever set foot back across the Jordan, Moses told them exactly what exile would look like — and exactly how it would end. Read the full article →

• What Deuteronomy 28's blessings and curses actually describe, verse by verse
• How the curses map onto the real history of exile and dispersion
• "The Way Back" — what the same chapter says about return, and how it connects to the commandments

The 17-language selector finished its rollout across the entire Bible Reader: every Ketuvim, Nevi'im, Gospel, and Torah chapter and book-index page, plus all 5,854 individual Torah verse pages, now carry the same translate option as the editorial pages. Wherever you land in Hebroni's text, your language is one click away.

hebroni.com/es is back as a Spanish-targeted homepage with auto-translate on load. Separately, the "Learn Hebrew" link in the footer — which pointed nowhere on every page of the site — now correctly opens Interactives.

Four more books of the Prophets are now fully readable in Spanish in the Spanish Bible Reader — all 98 chapters across Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, and 1 Kings, alongside the original Hebrew. This follows the Joshua expansion already live. The full Nevi'im (Prophets) section is being brought to Spanish one book at a time.

The Genesis 1 Hebrew breakdown series — one verse at a time, every word traced to its root — has added four more entries in Spanish at hebroni.com/blog/es/:

• Génesis 1:5 — יוֹם אֶחָד — why the text says "Day One" instead of "The First Day," and what evening before morning establishes about the Hebrew calendar
• Génesis 1:6 — רָקִיעַ — the word translated "firmament" literally means something beaten out like metal; the root, the cosmology of waters above and below, and the havdalah connection
• Génesis 1:7 — וַיַּעַשׂ — the first time in Genesis 1 that God stops speaking and actually makes something; the decree→execution→confirmation pattern, and "and it was so" appearing for the first time
• Génesis 1:8 — שָׁמַיִם — God names the expanse "Heaven" (Shamayim), a word that exists only in the plural; why Day 2 alone has no "and it was good," and the shift from "one day" to "the second day"

English counterparts for all four verses are also live at hebroni.com/blog/.

Four articles from News & Articles are now fully translated and live in Spanish at hebroni.com/blog/es/:

• Los Cinco Libros de Moisés — the real Hebrew names of the Torah (Bereshit, Shemot, Vayikra, Bamidbar, Devarim) and what each one actually means, versus the Greek names the world uses
• El Ladino y el Israel Disperso — the Hebrew-Spanish language Sephardic Jews carried into exile after 1492, still preserved in communities today
• Los Fariseos No Eran los Villanos — the complicated truth about the Pharisees: who they actually were historically, how they preserved the Torah after the Temple fell, what Paul said about being one, and what the Luke 18 prayer really warns
• La Biblia Esclava — the 1807 Bible deliberately stripped down for enslaved people in the Caribbean, with Exodus, Deuteronomy 28, and Leviticus 25 removed; what was cut and what survives today at Fisk University

The English-language Laws series — deep studies of the 613 commandments — begins its Spanish translation with Creer en Dios, the first commandment. It covers the Golden Calf, Kadesh-Barnea, Jeroboam's calves, Elijah at Carmel, and God's declaration to scattered Israel. More commandments will follow in Spanish as the English series grows.

The 17-language Google Translate selector in the top-right nav now appears across the entire Bible Reader — every Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, and Gospel chapter and book-index page, plus all 5,854 individual Torah verse pages. Previously only the editorial hebroni.com/en pages carried it; now it's consistent across the whole site.

Open any of commandments #12 through #101 on the 613 page and the popup now shows the "📖 Read the deep study in The Laws" button along with curated study questions drawn straight from that commandment's full article — instead of the generic Torah-reader link and verse Q&A shown for commandments without a deep study yet. As each new batch of Laws articles goes live, its commandments connect to their cards automatically — no separate wiring required.

The Laws crosses the 100 mark with a full batch on the dietary and bird-nest commandments — every Bible verse cited, in headers and in the prose, links straight into Hebroni's own Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, and Gospel readers.

• Commandments 94–96: Identifying kosher fish, birds, and locusts — traced through the Galilean fishermen-turned-apostles, Noah's raven and dove, Elijah's ravens at Cherith, and Joel's promise to "restore the years that the locust hath eaten"
• Commandments 97 & 100: Shechita and the examination of the slaughtering knife — the phrase "as I have commanded thee" traced from Abraham's altar on Moriah to Isaiah's silent lamb and Ecclesiastes' wisdom on a sharpened edge
• Commandment 98: Covering the blood of the hunt — set against Abel's blood crying from the ground and Job's plea that the earth not cover his own cry
• Commandment 99: Shiluach HaKen (sending away the mother bird) — the only other commandment that shares its promised reward with honoring one's father and mother, read alongside Malachi's closing promise
• Commandment 101: Redeeming the firstborn son — from the night of the Exodus to the five shekels Joseph and Mary paid for their own newborn son at the Temple, exactly as the law required

More commandments added every session — on pace to cover all 613.

Every book of the New Testament is now available in the Gospel Reader — readable in the original Greek alongside KJV and Modern English. The expansion covering the full NT epistles and letters is complete:

• General Epistles: James · 1–2 Peter · 1–3 John · Jude
• Pastoral Letters: 1–2 Timothy · Titus · Philemon
• Shorter Pauline Letters: Philippians · Colossians · 1–2 Thessalonians
• Revelation: Chapters 1–14 live — the seven letters, Pentecost of the Lamb, the seals, trumpets, and the dragon cast down

Search any verse directly — 1 Tim 6:10, Phil 4:13, 1 John 4:8, Jude 24 — and it opens the reader at that exact verse.

See a reference like Exodus 12:13 or Deuteronomy 28:68 while reading an article? Click it — it now opens directly to that verse in Hebroni's own Torah and Nevi'im readers, in Hebrew and English side by side. We've gone through eight articles in News & Articles — covering everything from the Exodus and the Ten Commandments to Ladino and the 1747 map labeling a "Kingdom of Judah" on the West African coast — and linked every verse they reference. The "Sources & Further Reading" list at the end of each article is now fully clickable too, so you can go straight to where the research came from.

In 722 BCE, Assyria carried off the ten northern tribes of Israel — and they never came back. An apocryphal book, 2 Esdras, says they crossed a river and walked a year and a half into a land called Arzareth: erets achereth, "another land." Two thousand years of explorers, missionaries, and scholars have gone looking for them ever since. Read the full article →

• What 2 Esdras actually says — and where the name "Arzareth" comes from
• The witnesses across history who believed the tribes were still out there
• The traditions that tried to answer the question, examined honestly — not dismissed, not oversold

Matthew opens the New Testament with forty-two generations, father to son, straight to David. Paul says Yeshua was born "of the seed of David, according to the flesh." So why does Jewish identity pass through the mother today? Two real frameworks, examined honestly. Read the full article →

• How the Hebrew Bible reckons a tribe — and how Yeshua fits that framework
• Where the rabbinic matrilineal rule came from, and when
• Two rules, one people — and a direct answer to "was Yeshua a Jew, or Jewish?"

The Laws is a new deep-study section covering every commandment God gave Israel — not just its Torah origin but its full biblical history: how it was violated, how it was restored, who embodied it, and what the prophets said about it.

• Commandments 1–40: Belief & God, Torah & Prayer, Temple service, Sabbath, Yom Kippur, priestly garments — all published
• Commandments 41–66: Holiday rests (Rosh Hashanah through Shemini Atzeret), Passover observances, harvest festivals, Shemitah, and the Jubilee
• Each article: Source verse · Historical narrative · Key figures · 5 study questions · FAQPage schema for Google rich snippets
• Commandments popup: "Learn More" now shows curated study questions from The Laws — mobile-responsive with "Read more →" linking to the full article

More commandments added every session — on pace to cover all 613.

Every chapter of every NT book now has its own static page (e.g., /the-gospel/philippians/4/) and every verse has its own shareable URL (e.g., /the-gospel/james/2/17/). Over 7,800 individual NT verse pages are now indexed in Google Search Console.

Every commandment card at hebroni.com/en/commandments/ now shows the actual Hebrew verse text (with nikud) and the KJV translation of the source Scripture — inline, in a gold-bordered verse block. 397 of the 613 commandments draw from the 5 books of Moses; the verse for each one is displayed directly without leaving the page.

hebroni.com/interactives/ is now a full learning hub with five sections: Read the Word (4 Bible readers), Learn the Language (Hebrew Curriculum, Flashcards, Language Courses), Study Tools (Breakdowns, 616 Laws, Encyclopedia), Interactive (Prayers, Calendar, Table of Nations), and App. Responsive grid — 4-column on desktop, 1-column on mobile.

The Hebroni logo has been updated to the lion crest — featuring the Lion of Judah with Torah scroll, olive branches, Star of David, and Hebrew name עֵרְדַהֵ. The new logo is live across all pages, browser tab favicons (16px through 512px), iOS home screen icon, Android PWA icon, and social preview cards.

Nine more books of the New Testament are now live in the Bible Reader — readable in the original Greek alongside KJV and Modern English:

• Romans — Paul's systematic theology: justification by faith, life in the Spirit, nothing can separate us from God's love (ch. 8)
• 1 Corinthians — the love chapter (ch. 13), the resurrection (ch. 15), spiritual gifts, and the Lord's Supper
• 2 Corinthians — treasure in jars of clay (4:7), walk by faith not by sight (5:7), new creation (5:17), grace sufficient in weakness (12:9)
• Galatians — freedom from the law, crucified with Christ (2:20), neither Jew nor Greek (3:28), fruit of the Spirit (5:22-23)

• Hebrews — Jesus as the greater High Priest, the word of God living and active (4:12), the hall of faith (ch. 11), cloud of witnesses (12:1)

Every verse searchable — type Rom 8:28, Phil 4:13, 1 Cor 13:4, or Heb 11:1 in the search bar to jump directly to it.

When you follow a shared verse link — like Romans 8:28 or Genesis 1:1 — the verse now glows gold on arrival across all four readers (Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, Gospel). The highlight lasts 4 seconds and is significantly brighter on mobile. Previously the Torah and Gospel readers had no highlight at all; this is now consistent everywhere.

Books with more than 50 chapters (Psalms has 150) now show a paginated chapter grid in the sidebar — 50 at a time with ← 1–50 / 51–100 / 101–150 → navigation. Works across all four readers. Clicking a verse link always opens to the right page automatically.

The remaining four books of the Writings are now fully available in both the Ketuvim Reader and across the site:

• Psalms (Tehillim) — all 150 chapters, 2,523 verses. From the shepherd's song of Psalm 23 to the throne-room vision of Psalm 110.
• Job (Iyov) — all 42 chapters. The righteous man stripped of everything — and God's answer from the whirlwind.
• 1 Chronicles — 29 chapters. Israel's history retold from Adam to David's preparations for the Temple.
• 2 Chronicles — 36 chapters. Solomon's Temple through the Babylonian exile, ending with Cyrus's decree: "Who is among you? Let him go up."

All 13 books of the Writings are now complete: Psalms · Proverbs · Job · Song of Songs · Ruth · Lamentations · Ecclesiastes · Esther · Daniel · Ezra · Nehemiah · 1 & 2 Chronicles. Every verse in Biblical Hebrew alongside KJV and Modern English.

The Writings now have a dedicated home at /en/ketuvim/ — alongside the existing Torah, Nevi'im, and Gospel readers. Every reader shows all four sections in its sidebar so you can jump anywhere in Scripture without leaving the page.

The site search (⌘K or the search icon) now covers the complete Bible. Every book in the Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, and the Gospels is recognized — by full name, Hebrew name, or abbreviation. It understands multiple input styles:

• Ps 23 or Psalms 23:1 — jumps to the chapter or verse
• Gen 1 4 or gen 1:4 — space-separated or colon both work
• Bereshit ch 1 verse 4 — keywords also understood
• Isa 53:5, Dan 7, 1 Chr 29, Matt 5:3 — any abbreviation

Nevi'im and Gospel results link directly to the verse's own page. Torah and Ketuvim results open the chapter and scroll to the verse.

When you open any Bible reader — Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim, or Gospel — the sidebar now starts with all sections folded. Expand whichever section you want. Sections also fold automatically any time you navigate to a new book or chapter so the reader stays uncluttered as you move around Scripture.

The third section of the Tanakh — the Ketuvim (כְּתוּבִים, the Writings) — is now available in the Bible Reader. The reader now covers the complete Tanakh: Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim, plus the four Gospels.

• Ruth — the Moabite woman who chose Israel: "Your people shall be my people"
• Song of Songs — the great love poem of Solomon, read in Biblical Hebrew
• Lamentations — Jeremiah's five-chapter cry over the destruction of Jerusalem
• Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) — the Preacher's search for meaning under the sun, all 222 verses
• Esther — Purim, the reversal, and "for such a time as this"
• Daniel — from the lions' den to the Son of Man on the clouds; Hebrew and Aramaic throughout
• Ezra — the return from Babylon and the rebuilding of the Temple
• Nehemiah — the wall rebuilt in 52 days, against every opposition
• Proverbs (Mishlei) — all 31 chapters, 915 verses of Solomon's wisdom, ending with the Woman of Valor

All nine books fully loaded with the original Hebrew, KJV, and Modern English side by side. Access them in the sidebar under Ketuvim · כְּתוּבִים.

When you share a verse link — like Isaiah 53:5 or John 3:16 — and someone opens it, the verse briefly glows gold on arrival so it immediately catches the eye. Works on all 18,929 individual verse pages across the Nevi'im and Gospels. Also works in the interactive reader: navigating directly to a verse from a share link scrolls to it and flashes the row.

The Table of Nations is now a nav item (ToN) on every main page, sitting alongside the 613 Commandments. Conversely, the 613 link is now on the Tree page's nav — so you can move freely between the genealogy and the law from anywhere on the site.

The Modern / KJV toggle was showing on some chapters but not others across the Torah, Nevi'im, and Gospel readers. It's now fully consistent — every chapter in all three sections shows both translations.

• Torah: Both translations now available on every chapter of all five books
• Nevi'im: Modern English filled in for missing chapters across Hosea, Kings I & II, Micah, Nahum, Samuel I & II, Judges, Ezekiel, Joshua, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Joel, Jonah, and Zechariah
• Gospel: Both translations now complete for Luke, Mark, Matthew, and John

In the Nevi'im reader, every Hebrew word in every verse is now clickable. Tap a word and a panel slides up showing the word in Hebrew script, its transliteration, and an audio button that speaks it aloud. Swipe down or press Esc to dismiss.

Every verse in the 21 books of the Prophets and all four Gospels now has a dedicated page you can link to directly — like Isaiah 53:5, Jeremiah 31:31, or John 3:16. Each page shows the Hebrew or Greek original, KJV, Modern English, and cross-references — plus a direct link into the interactive reader. Over 13,000 verses are now individually shareable.

Every verse page now shows a romanized transliteration of the original text — Hebrew for the Prophets, Greek for the Gospels — displayed below the script so you can follow along and read it aloud even if you don't yet know the alphabet.

The site search (⌘K or the search icon in the top nav) now understands Bible references. Type Isaiah to jump to the book, Isaiah 53 for the chapter, or Isaiah 53:5 to go straight to the verse. An "Open in interactive reader" shortcut appears for chapter and verse results so you can jump directly to the reading experience.

The patron saint of England was born in Cappadocia, raised in the land of Israel, martyred at Lydda in 303 AD, and venerated for a thousand years in Ethiopia, Syria, and Egypt before the Crusaders carried him west and repainted his face. Read the full article →

The term was coined in 1902 by an American naval officer measuring sea-lanes from London — younger than the telephone, foreign to the region, and strategic in origin. The article traces the full history of the name, the waves of conquest that reshuffled the people underneath it, and where the ancient Israelite lines actually went. Read the full article →

• 6 sections — Mahan's 1902 coinage, "Near/Middle/Far East" measured from London, Assyrian & Babylonian exiles, Herod the Idumean, where the ancient lines went
• 3 original illustrations: imperial strategy map, Babylonian exile scene, Herod enthroned by Rome

Every breakdown page now has two share buttons: Save to Pinterest and Compartir en WhatsApp. The Pinterest button pulls the illustration, page title, and Hebrew phrase directly into the pin. The WhatsApp button builds the share link dynamically at click time. Both are on all 161 illustrated scenes.

The Scripture of the Day on the homepage now has a play button alongside the featured Hebrew verse. Tap it to hear the verse read aloud in Biblical Hebrew at a slow, clear pace. Uses the browser's built-in speech synthesis — no extra download needed. The button hides automatically if your device doesn't support it.

Articles from the News & History section are now surfaced as cards on the Blog page under a new "News & History" filter — making 8 pieces easier to find without navigating to /news/ directly.

The Joseph arc is now finished — Genesis is complete. 8 new pages covering the final chapters:

The old arc-jump navigation on breakdowns/ was replaced with a sticky two-row filter and search bar — the same design as the 613 Commandments page. Row 1: book chips (All / Genesis, with more books as they launch). Row 2: arc chips (All / Creation / Abraham / Joseph / Exodus) + live search across all 100+ scenes. Typing a search query auto-hides sections with no matches and shows a live count.

The first breakdown page — Bereshit — Every Nation Starts Here — has been rewritten as a full introductory article. Instead of a word-study of Genesis 1:3, it now makes the case for why Bereshit belongs to all of humanity: the 70-nation Table of Nations, the deliberate narrowing from all peoples to one covenant family, and the accountability question this book puts to every reader. Includes the word study on בְּרֵאשִׁית and a direct CTA into the Torah Reader.

Four breakdown illustrations were displaying as broken images due to Unicode curly apostrophe (U+2019) characters in their filenames — which the HTML was encoding as the straight apostrophe %27, a mismatch. Files renamed to remove the apostrophe entirely: Pharaohs Dreams, Benjamins Sack, Judahs Plea, Jacobs Blessing. All references updated.

Every figure illustrated with portrait cards, Hebrew name, lifespan, tribal territory, and key verse. Dinah included as the only named daughter of Jacob. Linked from the main Family Tree and all breakdown series navs.

A new Pre-Flood section now sits above the Noah → Japheth/Ham/Shem structure on the Family Tree page, covering Adam through Noah across both the Seth Line (covenant) and Cain Line (east of Eden).

• Portrait illustrations added for Adam, Eve, Abel, Cain, Enoch (Seth's), Seth, Methuselah, and Noah
• Noah upgraded from a text badge to a full portrait hero card

Every scriptural reference displayed on a family tree card — both the main Table of Nations and the 12 Tribes pages — is now a live link that opens the Torah Reader at the exact passage. Dynamic verse ref injection runs on both tree pages at load.

Seven illustration thumbnails on the Breakdowns hub were returning 404s due to special characters in filenames (colons and en-dashes). Files renamed to clean slugs and all references updated:

• Lot's Wife Looks Back · News of Nahor's Family
• Joseph's First Dream · Joseph's Second Dream
• Joseph in Potiphar's House · Potiphar's Wife · Pharaoh's Dreams

Page titles and descriptions cleaned up and sharpened across all 57 article and breakdown pages — clearer language, more accurate summaries, better names so you know exactly what you're opening before you click.

A new interactive at /interactives/prayers/ breaks eight foundational Hebrew prayers into spoken segments — Hebrew text, transliteration, English meaning, word etymology cards, and an audio pronunciation button on every segment. Includes Study mode and Pray mode.

• The Shema · V'ahavta · Priestly Blessing · Aleinu
• Ein Kelohenu · HaMotzi · Kiddush · Modeh Ani

• Who Were the Pharisees? — historical record, NT critique in context, and a Luke 18 breakdown — with Nicodemus illustration

The Family Tree now runs the full Shem line from Noah through to Abraham's household — Reu, Serug, Nahor I, Terah, and Terah's children: Abraham, Sarah, Haran, Nahor II, Lot, Milcah, Iscah, Moab, Ben-Ammi. Hagar added to the Ham column. All major figures illustrated.

A language selector now sits in the top-right nav on every site page. Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Swahili, Yoruba, Amharic, Haitian Creole, German, Italian, Russian, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hebrew, and English. The app (already multilingual) is unaffected.

Pages across the site now load faster. Illustrations, tree cards, and article images only load when you scroll near them rather than all at once — so the page opens quickly even on a slower connection.

A search icon now sits in the nav bar on every page — press it or use ⌘K to open the search overlay. One query searches across all breakdowns, the family tree, and Torah chapters. Results are grouped by section; clicking a category header (Breakdowns →, Family Tree →, Torah →) takes you to that section's own page with your query pre-filled. Type a verse reference like Genesis 27:5 and a direct jump link to that passage appears at the top.

Search handles common misspellings without needing exact spelling. Doubled letters are normalized before matching — essau finds Esau, rebbecca finds Rebecca, jakub finds Jacob. One- and two-character differences are also caught on longer words, so a rough approximation still returns the right result.

Portrait illustrations added for Heth (son of Canaan, ancestor of the Canaanite Hittites — the people from whom Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah) and the Philistines (descended from Casluhim son of Mizraim, the Sea Peoples who settled the Gaza coast and became Israel's persistent adversary from Samson through David). Both are now visible in the Family Tree viewer and in the Sons of Ham breakdown.

Every verse reference in a breakdown's commentary — Genesis 25:23, (27:13), or similar — is now a live link that opens the Torah Reader at that exact passage. References in the body text, word studies, and the article header all link automatically.

Each page pairs the original Hebrew with KJV translation, transliteration, word-level commentary, and an original illustration created for Hebroni.

All breakdown pages were redesigned: illustration moved to full hero at top, Hebrew pronunciation audio toggle, verse block with numbered reference badge, and clean word-study panels for key Hebrew terms.

The English editorial site launched at hebroni.com/en — Torah Reader in Hebrew, KJV, and plain English for all five books of Moses; the complete 613 Commandments with source verses; and a redesigned two-bar navigation.

Kindle-style day reading mode added across all pages. The warm parchment light theme is built for extended reading; the dark theme suits low-light study.
