What's New

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.

The Jacob & Esau arc continues from Genesis 26 through the first reconciliation in Genesis 33:

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.

Portrait illustration cards added for figures in the Shem line of the Table of Nations family tree.

The Sarah arc, Abraham & Keturah arc, and the opening of the Isaac & Rebekah arc — including Rebekah Barren, Twins in the Womb, The Birth of Esau and Jacob, Two Ways, and The Birthright. The hub was reorganized into labeled chronological arc sections.

The Table of Nations — all 70 nations descended from Noah's three sons — launched as a filterable family tree. Click any nation to open a detail panel with portrait, scriptural reference, and historical context. Launched with 11 portrait illustrations; Ham and Japheth lines fully illustrated.

Lot Separates from Abram, Battle of Kings, Melchizedek, Covenant Between the Pieces, Hagar and the Spring, Sarai and Hagar, Three Visitors, Abraham Draws Near, Fifty to Forty, Thirty to Ten, and the Akedah arc opening.

Every breakdown page now includes a Read in Torah Reader button that opens the full Hebrew text at the exact chapter of the passage being studied.

The Breakdowns section launched with the first illustrated breakdown pages — Creation arc (Genesis 1), Cain & Abel, the Tower of Babel, and the Table of Nations three-parter. 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.

All content currently in English. Spanish and Haitian Creole editions are in development.
