Translation Notes

This project uses AI-assisted translation of the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) to produce word-by-word English renderings. Every translation includes an audit trail citing the sources consulted (Strong's Concordance, BDB Lexicon, KJV, ESV, NASB, and others).

The words listed below have been flagged for human review — either because major English translations diverge on the rendering, because the word is rare (hapax legomenon), or because the meaning is debated among scholars. We believe in transparency: if we are uncertain, you should know.
