Selah 0.3.0 turns the reader into a study desk.

Study desk

Press tab to open a pane beside the text. It follows the verse you are on.

  • Notes: a note on the verse and a journal for the chapter, both autosaved. They render as Markdown when you are not editing them.
  • Commentary: Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary, opened at the verse (selah install commentary, 14 MB).
  • Words: the Hebrew or Greek behind the verse, word by word, with transliteration, a gloss, the Strong's number and the grammar in plain English. Press enter on a word for its lexicon entry and every verse that uses it, counted by book (selah install concordance, from STEPBible).
  • Ask: questions about the passage, answered by your own Claude Code or Codex using Selah's tools: passages, search, Henry, the original words and your notes. Selah holds no keys.

[ and ] resize the pane. - and = change the reading width.

Doré's engravings

Gustave Doré's 100 Bible engravings, each mapped to its passage (selah install scenes, 17 MB). When a chapter has one, the header shows ✦, and i opens it full screen. The engraving surfaces like ink, then drifts slowly. Selah uses kitty graphics or sixel where the terminal offers them, and half-blocks elsewhere.

Also new

  • Search by Strong's number: type G26 or H2617 in search.
  • The sidebar from the keyboard: ctrl+b, then j/k and enter.
  • Selah's tools in your own agent: selah mcp serves them to Claude Code, Codex or any MCP client.
  • Edge to edge: the terminal's padding takes the theme background, so Selah fills the window.

Install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hallelx2/selah/main/install.sh | sh

Every binary is listed in SHA256SUMS, and the installer verifies it.

Matthew Henry's Commentary comes from lyteword/mhenry-complete (CC0). The Hebrew and Greek words and lexicons come from STEPBible.org, Tyndale House, Cambridge (CC BY 4.0). Doré's engravings come from Project Gutenberg #8710 (public domain).
