The Ezer Bible Wiki is the Bible arranged one chapter per page, built to help you see what the text says about women for yourself.

Each page gives the full chapter as one continuous reading, without verse numbers or section headings. In the passages where translation choices have shaped what churches teach about women, the original Hebrew or Greek word is restored and highlighted, so you can see the word behind the English and check how it has been translated.

It isn’t a new translation and it doesn’t ask you to take anyone’s word for it. It’s a place to read slowly, notice what’s there, and follow the evidence.

Find a chapter by browsing by book or by searching for a verse or topic. Then:

1. Read the whole chapter first. Read it straight through without stopping, the way its first readers would have heard it.
2. Notice what repeats. Repeated words, names, and patterns are often the key to a passage.
3. Open the highlighted words. See the original word, what it means, and how it has been translated.
4. Check the footnotes. They point you to sources so you can go deeper and check what we’ve said.
5. Compare with your own Bible. Put the two side by side and see where they differ.

You don’t need training or special tools, just curiosity. Observe first, then ask what it means.

The original texts didn’t have them. Chapter divisions were added in the 1200s and verse numbers in the 1500s. Section headings are written by modern translation editors.

They’re useful for finding your place, but they also interpret the text. A heading or a break in the wrong place can change how a passage reads. For example, many Bibles put a heading between Ephesians 5:21 (“submitting to one another”) and 5:22, even though verse 22 borrows its verb from verse 21 and can’t stand on its own.

Reading a chapter as one continuous piece makes it easier to follow the writer’s train of thought and notice repetition and structure. Since Ezer Bible is not intended to replace anyone’s daily study Bible, we felt this was a useful way give Bible readers a new perspective focused on the choices that translation teams make.

A highlighted word is a place where the original Hebrew or Greek word has been restored in the text, for example adelphoi (G80) or ezer (H5828).

These are words whose translation has a history: an inclusive word made exclusive (adelphoi, “brothers and sisters,” rendered “brothers”), a strong word softened (ezer, used most often of God, rendered “helper”), or a word whose meaning is contested and shapes teaching about women.

Tap or click a highlighted word to open its glossary page. Each glossary page explains what the word means, where it appears, how major translations have rendered it, and where that translation history comes from.

They are Strong’s numbers. Every Hebrew and Greek word in the Bible has one. H numbers are Hebrew words from the Old Testament, and G numbers are Greek words from the New Testament.

Strong’s numbers let you look up the same word in any concordance, interlinear Bible, or study tool, so you can check our glossary pages against other sources. A free place to start is Blue Letter Bible: search for the number (for example G80) to see every place the word appears.

Join the free Ezer Bible Study Community to ask questions and talk through what you’re noticing with other readers.

For guided study, our courses walk through key passages step by step, including Jesus in Eden (Genesis 2–3) and Authority Comes From God. We have several more Bible Study Guides that will be made available in the next month. All of our courses come with community access to learn with other people studying the same things.

The text is based on the World English Bible, a public domain translation. Because we restore original Hebrew and Greek words in highlighted places, the text no longer matches the World English Bible exactly, so we describe it as public domain text rather than giving it a translation name.

Being public domain means you’re free to print, copy, and share it.

The wiki doesn’t argue that any one English translation is the right one. It shows the words underneath so you can compare them with whatever Bible you already read.

Yes. If you know an article that would help readers understand a chapter, send us the link and we’ll review it for the footnotes. 

We also accept guest posts. Featured writers get a link back to their own blog, podcast, or book.

Yes. The pages are built to be printed for personal study, Bible studies, and classes. The text is public domain, so you can copy and share it freely.

To share a verse, highlight the text on the page and share it straight to social media.
