Unlike traditional verse lookups, ScriptureWords.com focuses on the words themselves— especially nouns like people, places, and things. Using natural language processing (NLP), each word is extracted, counted, categorized, and indexed. That makes it easy to find every verse where a word appears, discover patterns, and dive deeper into Biblical language.

The King James Version of the Bible contains a total of 820,698 words, encompassing 12,612 distinct words, of which 4,047 appear only once. There are no words that start with the letter X.

This site launched in July 2025 but is still in Beta.
