Documents

Overview

AndBible supports various document modules: Bibles, Commentaries, Dictionaries, Books, and Maps. You can Download Documents, Backup and Restore documents, and Load Documents from your device’s filesystem.

Document Library

The Document Library contains the list of all Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, books, and other modules that have been download. The Document Library can be accessed in a few different ways:

  • Click and hold on the document name on the top of the menu bar.
  • Click the top left main menu (☰).
  • Click Choose Document.

Bibles

Bibles modules can be installed in different languages, translations, and formats. Many Bible modules contain Strong’s numbers, footnotes, cross-references, and study notes.

Cross-References

Cross-references link related Bible passages together, helping you discover connections across Scripture.

Built-in cross-references

Many Bible modules (such as KJV, ESV, and others) already contain cross-reference data. To display them:

  1. Open the text options for your window or workspace (via the popup menu or the kebab menu).
  2. Enable Cross references to show cross-reference indicators in the text.
  3. Optionally enable Expand cross references to display the references inline rather than in a popup dialog.

When enabled, cross-references appear as small orange superscript markers in the Bible text. Tap a marker to open a dialog listing the related passages. If inline expansion is enabled, the references are shown directly in the text instead.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge (TSK)

For comprehensive cross-references covering every verse in the Bible, install the TSK (Treasury of Scripture Knowledge) or TSKe (extended edition) module:

  1. From the top left main menu (☰), click Download documents.
  2. Search for TSK and install the module.
  3. Open TSK in a separate window (see Windows) or use the links window to view cross-references alongside your Bible text.

Commentaries

Commentaries contain explanations or interpretations of other Bibles or books. Many commentaries will contain interactive Bible references, and can be navigated like Bible modules.

Dictionaries

Dictionaries provide additional information about individual words. AndBible supports Greek and Hebrew Strong’s dictionaries, Robinson’s Greek morphology, and others.

Strong’s and Robinson dictionaries can be used as the primary lookup for words in Strong’s enabled document modules (like KJV, BSB, NASB, NET, etc):

  1. From the top left main menu (☰) click Application preferences
  2. Click on Strong’s Greek Dictionary to select the Strong’s Greek dictionary you want to use.
  3. Click on Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary to select the Strong’s Hebrew dictionary you want to use.
  4. Click on Robinson Greek morphology to select the Robinson Greek dictionary you want to use.
  5. In the main menu toolbar, click the Greek/Hebrew icon until dotted lines appear below the words.

To view the Strong’s definition for a word, simply click on a word in a Strong’s enabled Bible module.

To display the Strong’s numbers in the Bible instead of underlines, click on the Greek or Hebrew icon on the top menu bar (For books in Hebrew, this icon shows Hebrew letters and for books in Greek the icon shows a Greek letter).

Toggling this icon can show underlines, Strong’s numbers, or no links at all.

It is also possible to display the dictionary definitions in a special window rather than a pop-up dialog:

  • From the top left main menu (☰) click on Application preferences and enable the Links window option.

Books

Various book formats are supported by AndBible. Sword modules, EPUB, and AndBible document backups can all be imported from provided repositories (Sword) or directly loaded from your device’s filesystem.
