What This Project Does

Berean Bible Bots is a Python project for generating statistics, charts, and reports on the grammatical constructs of the biblical text — Hebrew and Aramaic Old Testament, Greek New Testament, Greek Septuagint (LXX), English/Latin translations, Syriac Peshitta NT, and Aramaic Targumim.

The LXX bridges the Hebrew OT and Greek NT vocabulary, and is the primary text NT authors quote when citing the Old Testament. This project supports word-level alignment between the Hebrew OT and the LXX, per-book translation consistency analysis, and NT quotation alignment.

Built to answer questions like:

  • How many Niphal perfect verbs are in each book of the OT?
  • What is the verb stem distribution across the Torah?
  • How does Paul use the aorist passive compared to the rest of the NT?
  • How consistently does the LXX render רוּחַ (spirit/wind) across books?
  • Does Hebrews quote the OT following the LXX or the Hebrew MT?
  • What Greek word does the LXX use to translate חֶסֶד (lovingkindness), and how does that word travel into the NT?
  • How do verb conjugation patterns differ between narrative prose and wisdom poetry?
