FLOGVIT.bible

Finds every Bible reference in a piece of running text — a sermon, a manuscript, an article — and says for each one where it stands (line and column), whether it exists, and what the verses say, so a quotation can be compared with the text it cites. A reference that points past the end of a chapter or book is reported as a problem. Book names must be capitalised, as in text written for a reader.

An introduction to a whole book of the Bible: author, date, audience, structure and main themes.

Everything bible.flogvit.com has about one chapter: summary, historical context, key words, the people in it, themes, stories, prophecies, gospel parallels and timeline events. Give a chapter ("Rom 8"); verses are ignored.

The Bible readings the Church of Norway (Den norske kirke) appoints for a Sunday or feast day, from the lectionary bible.flogvit.com shows: each reading with its title and passage (alternatives marked "or"), the year's text series, and what the day is about. Give a date, a day's name, or nothing for the next day with readings. The lectionary runs from Advent 2025 to the end of 2028. Day names and reading titles are in Norwegian; translate them for the user when needed.

Other passages that relate to each verse of a passage, with a short note on how. Read them with get_passage (several references in one call, separated by ";").

Today's verse on bible.flogvit.com, with a short note.

The same event as Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each tell it: the parallels that cover a passage, with every Gospel's passage side by side and, if asked, each text in turn. Called with no reference, it lists all the parallels by section.

What a number means in the Bible (e.g. 7, 12, 40, 666) and every passage where it carries that meaning. Called with no number, it lists every number that has an entry, with its meaning.

The Hebrew (Old Testament, Leningrad Codex) or Greek (New Testament, SBLGNT) text of a passage, optionally word by word with an explanation of each word. The word explanations are written in Norwegian; translate them for the user when needed.

Returns the text of one or more passages, side by side in the requested editions, with a link to the chapter on bible.flogvit.com. Use include_notes for the translators' footnotes (translation choices, Greek/Hebrew linguistics, textual criticism, history, theology) and alternative renderings.

One person: summary, family, related people and key events with the passages where they happen.

Prophecies in the Bible with the passage that makes them, the passages that fulfil them, and an explanation: those made or fulfilled in a passage ("Isa 53", "Matt 2"), those in a category, or all of them by category when called with no arguments.

A Bible story by its name: what happens, where it is told, and the text itself, e.g. "The Prodigal Son", "David and Goliath", "Jonah". Names in English and Norwegian both work. Other stories the name could mean are listed with their ids.

Events in the order they happened, with year, description and the passages they are told in: for a period ("the exile"), a span of years, or events that mention a person or place. Called with no arguments, it lists the periods with their years. Years before Christ are negative. The world timeline gives what happened in the world around at the same time.

The full entry for an id from search_topics or get_chapter_study, with the passages it is built on.

The verse numberings (KVN mappings) the tools can read references in and number answers in, for the mapping argument of get_passage, get_original_text, get_cross_references, check_references and others. Bible editions number some verses differently — whether a psalm heading is a verse, where a chapter breaks — and a reference copied from one edition can point at another verse in the site's own numbering (osnb). Find the id by the edition's name or language, e.g. "king james", "dnb2024", "german", "swahili".

Finds verses containing ALL the given words in one edition. Words match as substrings, so a stem finds its forms ("forgiv" finds forgive, forgiven, forgiveness). Put a phrase in double quotes to match it exactly. Search an edition in the language of the words, e.g. osen or kjv for English, osnb/osnn for Norwegian, sblgnt/tanach for Greek/Hebrew spellings.

Finds every verse where a Hebrew or Greek word occurs, ignoring accents and cantillation (e.g. ἀγάπη, λόγος, חֶסֶד). Returns the source text and the translation side by side.

Finds people by name or by what is said about them ("king Judah", "prophetess"). Returns ids for get_person.

Searches the study material: Bible stories (e.g. "prodigal son"), themes (e.g. "forgiveness"), prophecies and their fulfilment, gospel parallels and timeline events. Returns ids for get_topic.
