Connects to the Besorah Bible texts: original-language passages, Strong's lexicon entries, grammar search, cross-references, Septuagint and Targum comparisons, and weekly Torah portions. Muse can look up a verse, break down each word, and trace themes across books.

Example request: "What does the Hebrew word for shepherd in Psalm 23 mean, and where else does it appear in the Bible?"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Besorah to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://besorah.bible/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

- search_text: Search the text itself. English by default; language=hebrew|greek|aramaic searches the original (vowel points and accents ignored). All words must be in the verse; "quoted phrase"; prefix with * (lov*). Narrow with book, testament (tanakh|new testament|apocrypha) or edition. Page

- get_related_passages: For one verse: voted cross-references, quotations in either direction between books, curated parallel passages, and similar wording.
