How it works
How our version comparison algorithm works.
-
First we line everything up
While most versions of the Bible use the same order, there are a few with different verse numbers, conflicting book orders, and missing sections depending on Hebrew, Vulgate, or other origins.
-
Then we compare words
Archaic language is compared with today's more modern parlance. This allows for an easier read, while still having the ability to see the original meaning at a glance.
-
Lastly we compare phrases
Different translations can vary wildly on how they are broken up and structured. Matching "without form" and "formless" can be very difficult for a computer.
