Compare legally acquired editions side-by-side with clear edition and numbering identities. Hebrew and Greek words are clickable for lexical, morphology, occurrence, and provenance study. For the Old Testament, STEPBible TVTMS can bridge KJV-style, Masoretic, and Septuagint reference numbering for navigation without treating those numbering systems as evidence of textual identity. Translation highlighting appears only when a curated or independently validated relationship supports it; imported BSB and KJV Strong layers retain separate provenance, and KJV Strong tags remain later concordance metadata rather than original 1611 translator annotations.

Curated records retain passage-level priority. Where no curated record exists, validated KJV Strong and imported BSB groups can coexist when both English editions are selected. Each highlight keeps its own evidence layer and review fingerprint. When supported English layers share the same independently verified source span, the reader can compare their renderings without merging those sources into an invented alignment or treating Strong-number agreement alone as proof of equivalence.

Evidence workspace for Matthew 16
The research graph keeps literary observations, historical evidence, intertextual relationships, attributed scholarship, and Berean synthesis visibly separate from Scripture text while preserving textual, lexical, manuscript, and translation-study layers.

Septuagint source
GRCLXX stays identified.
The Greek LXX column is the public-domain eBible GRCLXX edition. LXX-only books are exposed by their actual corpus book IDs, and Brenton can be shown beside the Greek as a separate historical English translation.
Word study
Click Hebrew or Greek.
Hebrew uses OSHB lemma numbers for Bible-wide occurrence searching and can display provenance-labelled TBESH and historical Strong lexical witnesses when locally available. SBLGNT exposes verified MorphGNT lemma/morphology tags and lemma occurrences. A separate Open Scriptures LXX lemma reference concordance shows where the same lemma is indexed in the Septuagint without pretending those records are token-aligned to GRCLXX; direct GRCLXX clicks remain same-written-form until edition-specific tagging is verified.
Reference alignment
Different numbering can line up.
For the 39-book Old Testament, the reader uses a TVTMS-derived MT/LXX/English reference bridge. Explicit mappings may pull a comparison cell from a different chapter/verse and show that mapped coordinate above the text. In structurally divergent MT/LXX books, unresolved table misses are refused rather than guessed. The bridge maps numbering traditions only—it never turns GRCLXX, WLC/OSHB, or an English translation into the same textual witness.
