What Nehr does
Word-by-word audio
The word you're hearing lights up as it's read. Close your eyes and just listen, or read along and let the glow keep your place. This is the heart of Nehr.
Study, on tap
Tap any word for the dictionary, the original Hebrew or Greek, and every other place it appears — right where you're reading. Go deep, then slip back into the chapter.
Four translations
Read the King James, the World English Bible, the American Standard, or Young's Literal — and set two side by side. Word-by-word narration is available for the KJV only.
Reading plans
Gentle, finishable plans — the Gospels in a month, the Psalms by candlelight, the whole story in a year. Build your own or bring one in from a spreadsheet with a free account. No streak guilt.
