Bible Code

Bible Code is a Windows app built around Equidistant Letter Sequence (ELS) research, helping you search for and examine encoded patterns within biblical texts through a set of focused search and analysis tools.

It is best suited to readers who want structured, hands-on exploration of “Bible code” style searches, and who appreciate having dictionaries, statistics, and a matrix viewer in the same workspace.

Searching that starts simple, then opens up

At the center is the Code Search tool, which the documentation describes as the starting point for ELS research. You enter a search term (written in Hebrew, with spaces allowed for readability), and you can optionally add a translation label to help identify what you are looking at later when opening results. The tool also includes an Odds area that summarizes estimated occurrences and total odds, and it supports search history so a term-and-translation pair can be restored along with associated settings.

Where Bible Code gets more distinctive is its approach to extensions. Extensions are terms that “naturally extend” from your base term using built-in dictionaries and any dictionaries you add, and the default extension settings are positioned as approachable for beginners. For deeper filtering, the separate “Extension Searches” options let you refine matches using criteria such as minimum word count, maximum word count from the base term, and controls for consecutive character-length matching.

Matrix viewing that stays connected to the text

Results can be opened in the Open Codes matrix viewer, which supports multiple matrices via a tab bar and can display marked secondary terms. The app also supports an Identify Terms local tool for searching additional terms tied to what you have open. For keeping work organized over time, edits to saved codes are described as auto-saving, and the Saved Codes tool is there to reopen prior work.

For readability and presentation, Bible Code includes adjustable font sizes for the matrix viewer and search terms, term markings with selectable shapes and colors, and both dark and light themes (plus localized matrix themes). The site also notes that marked extensions are displayed together in a more natural flow rather than appearing as disconnected pieces.

Dictionaries, Hebrew input help, and supporting tools

A major strength here is the dictionary layer. Bible Code includes multiple built-in dictionaries and also supports user-created dictionaries for words or phrases. Those dictionaries feed secondary searches and extensions, and there is a global search function meant to search across dictionaries. The documentation also describes personal dictionaries as cloud synchronized, with sharing options that assign editor or viewer roles (with licensing requirements on the receiving side).

If typing Hebrew is a barrier, the app includes a virtual Hebrew keyboard with sound transliterations shown beneath each character, and it can be used to type Hebrew into text inputs within the app (with the clear limitation that it does not work system-wide outside the program).

Beyond code searching, there are a few supporting tools that fit the same research workflow: a Reader for side-by-side Bible viewing with code navigation (including per-character verse selection for primary and secondary terms), a Calendar that converts between Gregorian and Hebrew dates and can insert dates into searches, and a Gematria tool for calculating numerical values and appending values into Identify Terms searches.
