Your daily moment with the Father.

Midvash: an online Bible and daily devotional

Midvash is a devotional study Bible, on the web at midvash.com and as an app for iPhone and Android. Its purpose fits in one sentence: your daily moment with the Father. A moment with the Father is also a meeting with the Word, which is why prayer and the Bible go together here. The devotional is the front door, the Bible is the house, and study is the library for those who want to stay a little longer. The one who guides that study is Rabbi, the Midvash teacher.

The name comes from the Hebrew mi-devash, meaning “than honey”, taken from Psalm 119:103: “How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” That verse shapes the whole project. Scripture is not treated as information to be consumed in a hurry, but as something to be tasted slowly, day after day.

A daily devotional of about 5 minutes

The daily devotional is where everything begins. Each session takes about five minutes and follows a simple, unhurried rhythm:

• The theme of the day, which names what the psalm speaks about today.
• A psalm read slowly, a few verses at a time, leaving room to notice what the text is saying.
• To ponder and the Question of the day, a short reflection and a question to bring the text into your life.
• A guided prayer that turns what was read into a conversation with the Father.
• Prayer requests, a place to bring your own concerns and the needs of others before God.

The devotional is the same on the website and in the app, so it can be done on a computer in the morning and on a phone at night. The streak of days marks consistency, not as pressure, but as a quiet reminder of a habit worth keeping.

Rabbi, the Midvash teacher

Rabbi is the Bible chat in Midvash and the face of the project: a rabbi from the time of Jesus, drawn in torn paper, who studies the Word with you. You can ask about a verse, a character, a place or a theme, such as what a parable means, who the Pharisees were or what the Bible says about forgiveness, and receive an answer grounded in the text itself. Each answer shows the verses it relies on, so you can open them, read the context and check it against Scripture.

Rabbi remembers what you have already studied, if you want, and cites a library of classic works of the Christian faith in your language. Rabbi also prepares “Your daily study”, a short study made for you. Rabbi, Notes and the original Greek and Hebrew are part of Midvash Pro.

Rabbi is not Jesus and does not speak for Him. Rabbi also does not replace the local church, pastoral care or the personal reading of the Bible. Its role is to make the text clearer, so that you return to the Word with better questions and a deeper understanding.

Read the Bible online in more than 100 versions

The Midvash online Bible brings together more than 100 versions and translations, including the King James Version, the New International Version, the New Living Translation, the Berean Standard Bible, the World English Bible and the American Standard Version. Every book and chapter can be read in full, from Genesis to Revelation, in a clean layout designed for long reading on a phone or a computer.

You can compare translations, follow passage headings, highlight verses and save favorites. The audio Bible lets you listen to chapters, which helps on a commute, during a walk or at the end of a tiring day. The Bible atlas shows the places of the Bible on a map, and reading plans offer a steady path through Scripture, over a few weeks or over a year.

Study Bible tools

For those who want to go deeper, Midvash works as a complete online study Bible:

• Original Greek and Hebrew with Strong's numbers, to see the word behind each translation and its range of meaning.
• Notes tied to the chapter, which Rabbi can read to answer better.
• Bible dictionary with entries on people, places, customs and key terms of Scripture.
• Bible characters, telling the stories of the men and women of the Old and New Testaments.
• Bible commentaries, verse by verse, from classic and trusted sources.
• Cross references that connect each verse to related passages across the whole Bible.
• Bible search by word, phrase, reference or topic.

These tools open from within the text. Selecting a word or a verse leads to the original language, the dictionary entry or the commentary without leaving the chapter, so study never pulls you away from the passage.

Who Midvash is for

Midvash is for anyone who wants a daily time with God and does not know where to begin, for those who already read the Bible and want to understand it more deeply, and for students, Bible school teachers, pastors and small group leaders preparing a Bible study. It is designed for a quiet, focused moment, whether in the morning before the day begins or at night before sleep.

Midvash is a Christian project, made with care and reverence for Scripture. Its aim is not to hold your attention for as long as possible, but to help you have a real meeting with the Father every day.
