The Tanach, with the evidence built in
This is the complete Hebrew Bible in the Jewish Publication Society translation. Wherever a real archaeological find bears on the text, those words are underlined in gold✦. Hover over them or tap them to see the artifact and what it confirms. From there, Next find takes you to the next underline, so you can tour a whole book’s evidence, and the share button turns the verse into an image.
Each chapter lists its finds under its title, and the chapter picker shows how many finds every book and chapter has. The AA button sets the text size, light or dark, and English, Hebrew, or the two together.

6For I desire goodness, not sacrifice;Obedience to God, rather than burnt offerings.
7But they, to a man, have transgressed the Covenant.This is where they have been false to Me:
8Gilead is a city of evildoers,Tracked up with blood.
9The gang of priests isLike the ambuscade of banditsWho murder on the road to Shechem,For they have encouraged depravity.
10In the House of Israel I have seenA horrible thing;Ephraim has fornicated there,Israel has defiled himself.
11(Even Judah has reaped a harvest of you!)When I would restore My people’s fortunes,
