The Biblical Lexicon Is Live
The Anselm Project now includes a free, browsable lexicon of all 27,730 Hebrew and Greek words in the Bible — with frequency data, book distribution, and direct links into the Anselm Project Bible.
The Biblical Lexicon is now live. It's a browsable, searchable reference of every Hebrew and Greek word in the Bible — 27,730 lemmas across all 66 books. No login required.
What's In It
Each entry shows the original script, transliteration, part of speech, English meaning, and total frequency across the canon. Click into any word and you get its full distribution — every book it appears in, how many times, with expandable verse-level links that take you directly to that passage in the Anselm Project Bible.
You can filter by language, sort by frequency or alphabetically, and search by word, transliteration, or meaning.
That last one matters. If you remember that a word means something like "to reconcile" but can't recall the Greek, you can search the meaning field and find it. That's not something most lexicons make easy.
Why It's Useful
The frequency data gives you immediate context for how significant a word is in the biblical literature. A word that appears 200 times across 30 books is doing different theological work than one that appears 3 times in a single letter. Knowing that before you read the commentaries saves time.
The verse distribution by book is the feature I find most useful. Seeing at a glance that a word clusters heavily in Paul but rarely appears in the Synoptics, or that it shows up in the wisdom literature but not the prophets, shapes how you read it. The links into the APB mean you don't have to copy a reference into a search box — you just click.
How It Connects to Reports
The Lexicon is integrated with the Interlinear mode in the Bible reader. Every word in the Interlinear view carries its morphological data — lemma, gloss, transliteration, part of speech, frequency — and clicking through takes you to the full Lexicon entry.
If you're working through a passage in a scholarly report and want to dig further into a specific term, the Lexicon is the natural next stop. It won't replace BDAG or BDB for serious critical work, but it's faster for the kind of quick lexical checks that come up constantly in sermon prep and exegesis.
It's at /lexicon. Free, no account needed.
God bless, everyone.
