How to read this page

Every connection is a link, colour-coded by type — Direct Quotation · Allusion · Echo. This Old Testament page shows two kinds:

Old Testament → Old Testament — underlined coloured phrases, where this verse connects to another OT passage:

Direct Quotation — a word-for-word citation
Allusion — a deliberate reference without quoting
Echo — a fainter verbal or thematic resonance

Old Testament → New Testament — coloured † crosses, where the New Testament takes up this verse:

† Direct Quotation — the NT quotes this verse
† Allusion — the NT references it
† Echo — a fainter NT resonance

The underline style backs up the colour — solid = quotation, dashed = allusion, dotted = echo. Hover (or tap) any link to preview, then click to follow. Use 📖 Reader to hide the marks and read clean Scripture.

Graph View — tap the constellation icon in the top bar to see this page's connections as a web of light: gold points are passages, and the coloured threads are the connection types. Click any type in the graph's own legend to filter it in or out, and use the expand control for the full-screen night sky.
