Explore Scripture Like Never Before

How Did Jesus Really Teach?

Ask anything and uncover rabbinic depth:

• What does the idiom of having a “good eye” really mean in the Bible — and why is it often misunderstood in the West?
• What did Jesus mean when He spoke of a “yoke” — and how did His listeners understand that differently than we do today?
• What is the “dust of the rabbi,” and why was it considered the highest compliment for a disciple?

With SHEMA, you can go beyond surface-level answers. Our AI-powered study experience helps you explore Hebrew idioms, Jewish festivals, ancient prayers, and daily cultural life — drawing connections that reveal how Scripture sounded to a first-century rabbi and his disciples.

Navigate the Bible with Ease

Reading Scripture on Shema-ai feels more like holding a letter than scrolling through an app. You can swipe left for the next chapter, right for the previous one, or jump instantly to a key verse or theme. Choose to view the Bible in a simple list or a clean grid, whichever helps you focus best.
To recover the flow of the text as the first hearers experienced it, you can even hide verse numbers—or make them faint in the background—so the Bible reads as one seamless story. At the same time, Jewish context is always just a tap away: idioms, cultural insights, festivals, and rabbinic echoes layered into the text, ready when you want them.
The result: a digital Bible that feels as natural and paperlike as possible, but with depth that only Shema-ai can bring.

Discover Layers of Every Chapter

Every verse carries hidden depth. SHEMA reveals multiple lenses:

• Linguistic: Hebrew word-pictures and idioms.
• Historical: Daily life under Rome and Second Temple culture.
• Literary: Parables, poetry, and rabbinic teaching styles.
• Geographical: Landscapes and locations shaping the message.
• Cultural: Honor-shame dynamics, festivals, and customs.

Peel back the layers to experience the Bible as Jesus’ first followers would have heard it.
