Orange County, CA – An inspiring new 7-day devotional, created by the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, has just launched on the YouVersion Bible App platform.

This devotional, titled “Biblical Hebrew: Words Revealed”, breaks down the original meaning and intention behind seven Biblical words.  Understanding the true definition of words such as “Eden”, “Zion”, “Angel”, and “Amen” as well as the names “Adam”, “Isaac”, “Eve”, “Moses”, and “Jesus” will allow readers to experience beloved scriptures in a new way.

The “Biblical Hebrew: Words Revealed” devotional can be accessed inside the Bible App, or on the website here.

“At the Israel Institute of Biblical Studies, we are passionate about helping believers to deepen their passion for and understanding of the Bible by reading it in the original languages,” shares Jonathan Lipnick, Dean of Holy Land Studies.  “We hope that this free devotional will inspire users of the YouVersion Bible app to dig deeper and uncover a new understanding of words we have heard our whole lives.”
