Word Usage

Pick a curated word, or search any word, and watch it move across Scripture. Each bubble's area shows how often that word appears per 1,000 words in a book, so a short, focused letter can outshine a long one. Curated words count all their KJV forms (love, loved, loveth…); a search matches that exact word.

The same word as above, sorted so the busiest books line up at the top instead of needing to be spotted by eye. Ranked by occurrences per 1,000 words, not raw count, so a short book can out-rank a long one; hover a row for the exact number of uses.

Word density across Scripture

The same words as a contour map: each row is one word's usage across the 66 books, banded like a topographic chart so the hot spots — where a word surges for a stretch of chapters — stand out as peaks.
