Open the text. Name the source.
HALAKH separates Scripture source, translation, rendering, calculation, and interpretation so the reader can know what kind of claim is being made.
Scripture Sources
HALAKH treats Scripture references as source anchors rather than decorative citations. References should open to the underlying passage whenever technically possible.
English text
Extended Scripture text displayed directly by HALAKH should use a public-domain or otherwise properly licensed source. The HALAKH Bible reader retrieves the public-domain World English Bible (WEB) from its passage service. Digital-book meditation passages may use a separate public-domain KJV resolver. Each reader must identify its underlying source; an API response alone does not prove lexical or manuscript accuracy.
Sacred-name display and text accuracy
HALAKH uses Yahuah for Hebrew יהוה (YHWH), Yahusha for the name represented by Greek Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous), Mashiach for Greek Χριστός (Christos), and Ruach HaQodesh as a Hebrew conceptual rendering for the Holy Spirit. Hebrew אֱלֹהִים (Elohim) is not the source term of every English “God,” especially Greek θεός (theos). “Lord” is also not always YHWH. Unverified blanket substitution is prohibited. Sacred names are a declared reading convention rather than claims about manuscript spelling or verified historical pronunciation.
Source-language study
Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek lexical work should distinguish manuscript text, transliteration, lexical meaning, interpretive expansion, and later symbolic meditation. Historical lexical meaning governs before speculative or devotional extensions.
Copyright
HALAKH should not reproduce copyrighted modern Bible translations at length without permission. Short quotations, references, licensed material, and public-domain text should be used according to applicable rights and attribution requirements.
