Where the Scripture, the Greek and Hebrew, the maps and the background facts come from.
The World English Bible and the King James Version are in the public domain. The World English Bible text is fetched from the free service bible-api.com; if it cannot be reached, the King James Version is shown instead.
The Reina-Valera (1909) and the Louis Segond (1910) are in the public domain and are supplied by the free getBible service (getbible.net). Newer Spanish and French translations are copyrighted and are not used.
Hebrew word-by-word text: Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible (morphhb), licensed CC BY 4.0. Greek word-by-word text: Tyndale House, Cambridge, and STEPBible (TAGNT), licensed CC BY 4.0. Short word definitions: Strong's Greek and Hebrew dictionaries as published by Open Scriptures (the Hebrew entries are licensed CC BY-SA). Strong's is a century-old tool and its definitions are brief; use a full lexicon for serious study.
Two free study websites are linked beside verses so you can go deeper: Blue Letter Bible (lexicons, concordance, interlinear and commentaries) and Bible Hub (parallel translations, interlinear, cross references and commentaries). Both are free to read online. This site only links to them, and does not copy their pages, commentaries or translations.
Place names and positions: OpenBible.info Bible Geocoding Data, licensed CC BY 4.0. Many ancient places are identified only approximately and some identifications are debated. Map outlines: Natural Earth, public domain. The map is drawn in your browser; no map service is contacted.
When you ask for a lookup, the site may gather facts from Wikipedia, OpenAlex (published scholarship), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and the World Bank. Each fact is shown with its source and a link. Numbers from those agencies are computed from the agency’s published data and are not changed. Facts you add yourself are labeled as yours.
These are written by an AI using only the Scripture and the sources listed. Every verse reference is checked against the Bible, and statements must point to a numbered source. They can still be wrong. Please test everything by the Scriptures.
