A dictionary of more than 4,800 Biblical terms, each defined in Amharic and traced back to its original Hebrew or Greek word. Read the Bible and look up its language in one place.
The Amharic Bible Dictionary was produced by Zelalem Mengistu and prepared over a period of 23 years, with the work completed in 2023. Its purpose is to make Biblical terminology, and the original Hebrew and Greek context behind it, accessible to Amharic-speaking readers.
Every entry pairs an Amharic definition with the corresponding Hebrew or Greek term, so a word you meet while reading the Bible can be traced back to where it came from. The app also lets you read and refer to the Bible directly, so studying a term and reading its context happen in the same place.
Whether you are reading Scripture, preparing a sermon, teaching a class, or studying on your own, the dictionary brings Bible reading and Biblical reference together in one app.
A comprehensive reference spanning the full range of Biblical vocabulary, not a short glossary.
Every term is explained in clear, readable Amharic, written for study and for teaching.
See the source-language word behind each Amharic term, restoring context that translation alone can lose.
Move between Scripture and dictionary without switching apps, so a word's context is always one tap away.
Find a term instantly, or browse to discover words you weren't looking for.
Suited to personal devotion, sermon preparation, and classroom teaching alike.
Save a term to your favorites or attach a note to it in Amharic, right from the entry. Build a personal record of the words you're studying as you go.
