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.
Psalm 115
1Not to us, O LORD, not to usbut to Your name bring gloryfor the sake of Your love and Your faithfulness.
2Let the nations not say,“Where, now, is their God?”
3when our God is in heavenand all that He wills He accomplishes.
4Their idols are silver and gold,the work of men’s hands.
5They have mouths, but cannot speak,eyes, but cannot see;
6they have ears, but cannot hear,noses, but cannot smell;
7they have hands, but cannot touch,feet, but cannot walk;they can make no sound in their throats.
8Those who fashion them,all who trust in them,shall become like them.
9O Israel, trust in the LORD!He is their help and shield.
10O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!He is their help and shield.
11O you who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!He is their help and shield.
12The LORD is mindful of us.He will bless us;He will bless the house of Israel;He will bless the house of Aaron;
13He will bless those who fear the LORD,small and great alike.
14May the LORD increase your numbers,yours and your children’s also.
15May you be blessed by the LORD,Maker of heaven and earth.
16The heavens belong to the LORD,but the earth He gave over to man.
17The dead cannot praise the LORD,nor any who go down into silence.
18But we will bless the LORDnow and forever.Hallelujah.
