Every film here is drawn by Biblion from its own data: the texts it reads, the numbers under them, the cross-references between them and its commentary. Nothing in them is generated by AI. Each also plays in the article it belongs to, which is named under it.
Meanings from the Brown-Driver-Briggs and Abbott-Smith lexicons; counts in the Hebrew and Greek texts, from STEPBible’s TAHOT and TAGNT (CC BY); quotations from the King James Version. Every verse is on shuv, metanoia and its verb. Drawn by Biblion, nothing generated by AI; synthetic narration; music composed with ElevenLabs.
One English word, followed through the whole Bible in both its languages, and what each word means there. In Hebrew it is shuv, a verb of movement: turn back, return, used of turning away from God and of turning back to him, 1,057 times in every book of the Old Testament but Haggai. In Greek it is metanoia, the word for after joined to the word for mind: an after-thought, a change of mind. It is a change in how a person thinks, not an act that earns forgiveness; the New Testament speaks of repentance as given, and its deeds as fruit. With its verb, metanoia stands 58 times, 25 of them in Luke and Acts and none in John’s Gospel. Its article: Repent: Shuv and Metanoia Through the Bible.
The King James’s Strong’s numbers mark chesed 248 times; the Hebrew text itself has it 247 times, since Psalm 117:2’s “merciful kindness” marks one word twice (Hebrew text from STEPBible’s TAHOT, CC BY). Every verse it stands in is on its Strong’s number. Drawn by Biblion from public-domain texts, nothing generated by AI; synthetic narration; music composed with ElevenLabs.
One Hebrew word, followed through the Old Testament. Chesed stands 248 times, in 241 verses across 28 books, more than half of them in the Psalms, and no single English word holds it: the King James calls it mercy, kindness, lovingkindness and nine other words besides, and the World English Bible, Biblion’s default text, mostly says loving kindness.
