MyBible supports Strong’s lexicon, Biblical dictionaries, and other kinds of dictionaries, so that you can thoroughly study the Bible in your own language or have a better understanding of a good Bible translation in a foreign language.
- A distinct way to access a Strong’s lexicon is to double-tap on a Strong’s number, when these numbers are shown in a Bible module supporting this feature.
- You can activate a double-tap on any word in a Bible module, so that MyBible will look up a tapped word for you in dictionaries that you have downloaded (and have not marked as inactive).
Note: This also allows you to not show space-consuming Strong’s numbers and yet be able to open Strong’s lexicon entries for words. - Make a vertical fling on the module selection button in the Bible window header to see or change the action on a word double-tap.
Note: This is only a convenience shortcut, there are spelled out settings for controlling this feature. - The Dictionary Window has two modes: the Strong’s Lexicon Mode and the Dictionary Mode, which can be switched using the button in the header.
- When you double-click a word, the Dictionary Window obtains both the word and the attached Strong’s number (if the Bible module supports Strong’s numbers). So by switching the Dictionary Window mode you can see articles for both a Bible manuscript’s original word and for the translated word.
- MyBible provides a very diverse set of dictionaries, so it can be used even as a dictionary application. While the Dictionary Window is in the Dictionary Mode, tap the current word button in the header, and you will be able to use the powerful dictionaries lookup tool.
- Another powerful MyBible feature related to dictionaries is “References to selected verse from active dictionaries”. This is available via the special button which appears in the Bible window header when a single Bible verse is selected.
Explanation: In many Biblical dictionary entries there are references to Bible places, so when you use the above feature, MyBible finds all the dictionary entries referring to a selected verse and gives you a list to choose from. Try this – you can discover interesting comparisons and facts.
