# Darash

Darash gives AI agents structured access to Bible translations, Hebrew and Greek grammar, lexicons, and cross-references. Use it to examine original-language passages instead of relying on translated wording alone.

## What it does

Darash connects an AI coding assistant to a structured biblical research corpus. Its tools retrieve passages, compare translations, inspect original-language vocabulary, and locate related verses. The collection covers 59 translations across 36 languages, alongside reference material drawn from 13 dictionaries.

Original-language queries can return grammatical details such as a verb's voice, person, and stem. The server can also check whether a Strong's number actually occurs in a particular verse. Dictionary provenance matters here: entries carry information about their printed sources and editions, and their verification status varies. That distinction helps readers judge how much confidence to place in a lexical gloss.

The hosted service uses HTTPS and supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf (Devin Desktop), Cline, Zed, and Gemini CLI. Initial OAuth authorization takes place in a browser, with an API-key route available as an alternative. A separate self-hosted binary runs offline without network requests. ELS and Torah-code research tools belong to the self-hosted Engine and are excluded from the hosted service.
