Read the Bible in its own words.
Two language tracks and a set of study skills. Hebrew first — consonants, vowels, then Genesis itself, computed from the Westminster Leningrad Codex. Greek second — the alphabet, then John 1. And the skills that make the languages worth having: how to study, how to build frameworks, how to memorize. Nothing here is estimated.
Track 1 — Biblical Hebrew
Step 1אָלֶף
The Letters
All 22 consonants and the 5 final forms. Eight drill modes, including audio,
numeric values, and the look-alike pairs that cost every beginner time.

Step 2נִקּוּד
The Vowels
The 15 vowel points the Masoretes added beneath the letters — plus the traps,
including two signs that are literally identical and mean different things.
Start →
Step 3בְּרֵאשִׁית
Read Genesis 1–5
Words → phrases → verses → the whole chapter. 138 verses, 1,815 words,
every one of them tappable.
Start →
Track 2 — Biblical Greek
Step 1Αα
The Greek Alphabet
All 24 letters plus the breathing marks and accents. Same drill engine
as the Hebrew letters — look-alikes, names, sounds, numeric values.
Start →
Step 2Λόγος
Read John 1
"In the beginning was the Word." John's Gospel opens where Genesis opens —
the Greek mirror of the Hebrew track, every word tappable.

The skills — languages are the tool, study is the point
Skill 1דָּרַשׁ
How to Study Scripture
Nine lessons on exegesis for the total beginner — define before you seek,
let Scripture define Scripture, pin words in the original languages, read the structure.

Skill 24→1
The Framework Lens
How a master teacher turns study into teachable frameworks — the four levels
of teaching, contrast cases, patterns, and where to be careful.

Skill 3זָכַר
Memorize
Add the verses you want to carry for life. The 7/3/2/1 spaced-recall system —
seven times a day for a week, then three, then two, then one. Then it's etched.

What it costs you — Genesis 1 through 5
| Chapter | Verses | Words | New words to learn | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 31 | 434 | +103 | 103 |
| 2 | 25 | 328 | +89 | 192 |
| 3 | 24 | 347 | +69 | 261 |
| 4 | 26 | 341 | +74 | 335 |
| 5 | 32 | 365 | +27 | 362 |
362 words gets you five chapters. And notice chapter 5 — it adds only 27 new words across 365. It's the genealogy from Adam to Noah, the same formula ten times over. It's the best confidence chapter in the Bible: you'll read the whole thing and understand nearly all of it.
