Usage

Look up a word by its STEPBible tag (dStrong)

STEPBible tags every word of its tagged texts (TAHOT for the Hebrew OT, TAGNT for the Greek NT) with a disambiguated Strong's number (dStrong), such as H1540H or H5483M. Each TBESH/TBESG row has its own dStrong, so the tag names exactly one row:

import { lookupDStrong, rowsForEStrong, rowsForSStrong } from '@metaxia/scriptures-source-stepbible-lexicon';

await lookupDStrong('H1540H');   // { gloss: 'to reveal: reveal', strongsExtended: 'H1540', ... }
await lookupDStrong('H1540G');   // { gloss: 'Heglam', relation: 'a Name of', strongsUnified: 'H1617J', ... }
await lookupDStrong('H5483M');   // { gloss: 'horse', strongsExtended: 'H5483b', ... }
await lookupDStrong('H9005');    // { gloss: 'to/for', morphology: 'Prefix', ... }

// Every row of an extended (eStrong) or simple (sStrong) Strong's number, in file order
await rowsForEStrong('H5483b');  // [H5483B Horse (Gate), H5483M horse]
await rowsForSStrong('H5483');   // [H5483A swallow, H5483B Horse (Gate), H5483M horse]

The tag is matched exactly; no other row is substituted when it is missing. The rows are also available as JSON keyed by dStrong: @metaxia/scriptures-source-stepbible-lexicon/data/stepbible-tbesh-rows.json and .../data/stepbible-tbesg-rows.json.

Deprecated: one entry per eStrong

import '@metaxia/scriptures-source-stepbible-lexicon/register';
import { lookupStrongs } from '@metaxia/scriptures';

const entry = await lookupStrongs('H0430', { source: 'stepbible-tbesh' });

lookupStrongs() and the files data/stepbible-tbesh.json, data/stepbible-tbesg.json and data/stepbible-tflsj.json return one entry per extended Strong's number (eStrong). An eStrong often has several STEPBible rows (H5483b has the Horse Gate and the noun horse), and STEPBible's data does not choose one of them. These files are kept byte-identical to 2.1.3 for existing consumers, are no longer regenerated, and will be removed in the next major version. Tag words with STEPBible's dStrong (e.g. from @metaxia/scriptures-source-stepbible-tahot) and use lookupDStrong() instead.

Data Format

Each row (LexiconRow) contains:

interface LexiconRow {
  source: string;               // "stepbible-tbesh" | "stepbible-tbesg"
  strongsDisambiguated: string; // dStrong, the key: "H5483M"
  strongsExtended: string;      // eStrong it maps to: "H5483b"
  strongsSimple: string;        // sStrong (digits only): "H5483"
  strongsUnified?: string;      // uStrong: "H5483M"
  relation?: string;            // STEPBible's note after "=": "a Name of", "a Meaning of", ...
  lemma: string;                // Hebrew/Greek Unicode
  transliteration?: string;     // "sus"
  morphology?: string;          // "H:N-M"
  gloss?: string;               // "horse"
  definition?: string;          // full meaning text
}

Columns are kept as STEPBible wrote them, trimmed of surrounding whitespace.

Building from Source

The lexicon data is imported from STEPBible's TSV files:

npm run import   # Download TBESH/TBESG at the pinned commit and write the *-rows.json files
npm run build    # Compile TypeScript
npm test         # Includes a check of every row against STEPBible's TSV files

The import is pinned to STEPBible-Data commit 52607753604a9a650b9ae62da8d069a8312eb99a.
