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 84
1For the leader; on the gittith. Of the Korahites✦. A psalm.
2How lovely is Your dwelling-place,O LORD of hosts.
3I long, I yearn for the courts of the LORD;my body and soul shout for joy to the living God.
4Even the sparrow has found a home,and the swallow a nest for herselfin which to set her young,near Your altar, O LORD of hosts,my king and my God.
5Happy are those who dwell in Your house;they forever praise You. Selah.
6Happy is the man who finds refuge in You,whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways.
7They pass through the Valley of Baca,regarding it as a place of springs,as if the early rain had covered it with blessing.
8They go from rampart to rampart,appearing before God in Zion.
9O LORD, God of hosts,hear my prayer;give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah.
10O God, behold our shield,look upon the face of Your anointed.
11Better one day in Your courts than a thousand [anywhere else];I would rather stand at the threshold of God’s housethan dwell in the tents of the wicked.
12For the LORD God is sun and shield;the LORD bestows grace and glory;He does not withhold His bounty from those who live without blame.
13O LORD of hosts,happy is the man who trusts in You.
