Important Study Note
The A.I. is a study assistant, not a replacement for Scripture. Its responses are generated from the knowledge available to it and may occasionally contain errors or interpretations that should be examined carefully.
I encourage you to keep the Hebraic Roots Bible open while using the A.I., read each passage in its full context, and compare what the A.I. tells you directly with Scripture.
Study the sources. Examine the context. Test what you are taught against Scripture.
Follow Along with the Hebraic Roots Bible
The Hebraic Roots Bible is an excellent companion to the A.I. Study App. Keep the Bible open while you study so you can read the passages for yourself, examine the surrounding context, and compare what the study tool provides with the biblical text.
Using the Bible and the A.I. Study App together allows you to explore Hebrew words, names, covenant themes, Torah, prophecy, the Messiah, and the historical and cultural setting of Scripture while keeping the biblical text at the center of your study.
How to Ask Questions and Reference Study Resources
To get the most from your Hebrew Roots A.I. Bible Study, ask clear, focused questions and identify the specific book or resource you want the A.I. to consult. For example, you might ask, “According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, how was the Sabbath observed?” or “What do the Dead Sea Scrolls teach about sin and repentance?” You can also ask, “How does Don Esposito explain the identity of the chosen people in The Chosen People?” or “According to the Hebraic Roots Bible, what is the meaning of the New Covenant?”
For deeper study, ask the A.I. to compare resources, explain Hebrew words, examine historical context, or connect a teaching with Torah and other biblical passages. For example, “Compare the Sabbath teachings found in the Dead Sea Scrolls with those in the Hebraic Roots Bible,” or “How does Don Esposito’s Who Is Babylon? interpret Babylon in the book of Revelation?”
For the most accurate answers, include three elements in your question:
- Name the resource: Identify the book, author, or ancient writing you want examined.
- Identify the subject: Specify the verse, biblical teaching, Hebrew word, historical event, or theological question you want to explore.
- Explain what you want to learn: Ask for an explanation, comparison, historical background, supporting Scriptures, or references to specific passages and pages.
You can also ask the A.I. to use more than one resource, identify areas of agreement or disagreement, and distinguish between the biblical text, historical evidence, and an author’s interpretation. Whenever possible, request chapter, verse, manuscript, or page references so that you can examine the original material yourself.
Remember: The more specific your question, the more focused and useful your study will be. Begin with a simple question, explore the answer, and continue asking follow-up questions as your understanding develops. The purpose of this A.I. Bible Study is to help you investigate Scripture, examine historical sources, and develop a deeper understanding of the Hebrew roots of the faith.

A.I. Is a Study Tool, Not the Biblical Text
The Hebraic Roots Bible A.I. Study App is provided as a research and educational tool. A.I. can make mistakes, so important answers should always be checked against the biblical text and read in context.
That is another reason I encourage you to keep the Hebraic Roots Bible PDF open while you study. The A.I. is here to help you explore Scripture—not replace it. Shalom and peace to you as we study to show ourselves approved.
Four levels of Hebrew Biblical Study
In traditional Jewish thought and interpretation, the four levels of Hebrew or Biblical study are known as PaRDeS—an acronym derived from the initials of each level. These represent progressively deeper layers of understanding the Scriptures:
1. Peshat (פְּשָׁט) – Simple / Literal
- Meaning: The straightforward, surface-level meaning of the text.
- Focus: Grammar, context, and historical setting.
- Example: Reading Genesis 1 as a chronological account of creation.
2. Remez (רֶמֶז) – Hint / Allusion
- Meaning: The text hints at deeper truths beyond the literal meaning.
- Focus: Symbolism, types, and patterns.
- Example: Seeing the Passover lamb as a hint toward the Messiah.
3. Derash (דְּרַשׁ) – Inquire / Comparative
- Meaning: Midrashic or homiletical interpretation, using stories or parables to teach moral and spiritual lessons.
- Focus: Ethical teaching, rabbinic commentary, and sermon-style interpretation.
- Example: Using stories about Moses’ leadership to draw lessons about humility.
4. Sod (סוֹד) – Secret / Mystical
- Meaning: The hidden, esoteric, or mystical meaning, often understood through Kabbalistic lenses.
- Focus: Spiritual dimensions, divine mysteries, numerology (gematria), and deeper truths.
- Example: Understanding the Hebrew letters in Genesis as representing aspects of divine emanation.
These levels reflect a comprehensive and multi-dimensional approach to Scripture, encouraging both scholarly and spiritual engagement.
