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 Use the Hebraic Roots Bible A.I. Study App
Using the Hebraic Roots Bible A.I. Study App is simple. Keep the Hebraic Roots Bible PDF open in another browser tab or window while you study. Read the biblical passage first, then use the A.I. study tool to ask questions about the text, Hebrew words, names, historical setting, covenant themes, Torah, prophecy, or other subjects you want to explore more deeply.
Try asking focused questions such as, “What does this Hebrew word mean?”, “What is the covenant background of this passage?”, “How does this connect with Torah?”, or “What historical context helps explain this verse?” You can also ask follow-up questions as your study develops.
Always return to the biblical text and examine the surrounding verses for yourself. The purpose of the A.I. Study App is to assist your study, not replace Scripture.
What Can You Study?
- Hebrew Words and Names — Explore the meanings and biblical usage of important Hebrew words, names, and expressions.

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.
