Bible Languages · Read God's Word in Hebrew and Greek
Discover the Scriptures in the Languages They Were Written In
Biblical Hebrew, New Testament Greek and the Greek of the Septuagint, taught from Israel by a believer, for believers.
Why learn the original languages?
Familiar verses come alive
“Your word is a lamp to my feet
Psalm 119:105 (NASB)
And a light to my path.”
Every translation is a gift, but some of the richness of God's Word is hard to carry across into another language. When you read the Hebrew and Greek for yourself, familiar verses come alive. You see the wordplay, the repeated themes and the deep connections between the Old and New Testaments.
You don't need to be a scholar. With a little time each week, you can learn to read the alphabets, recognise key words and open your Bible with fresh eyes.

Shalom! I'm Dion
I'm Dionysis Theodorou, known as Dion. I was born in Cyprus, and Greek and English are my mother tongues, and I am fluent in Hebrew. I lived in England for eight years and in New York for eight years. In April 1998, while living in New York, I came to faith in Jesus and was born again. I went on to study biblical criticism, Jewish history and Hebrew linguistics. I moved to Israel in October 2002, and I've spoken Hebrew every day since.
I've been performing on the bouzouki since 1984 and teaching it for over 20 years. I serve on the worship teams at my congregations in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and I also join other worship teams around Israel. My goal is to enable people of all ages and backgrounds to pick up a musical instrument and worship Jesus. My heart is to help believers around the world draw closer to the Lord through His Word, in the very languages He chose to give it.
