Spanish

grep 'Génesis 1:1 ' "$RV/biblia_rv1909_completa.txt"
# Génesis 1:1 En el principio creó Dios los cielos y la tierra.

Hebrew

grep 'בְּרֵאשִׁית 1:1 ' "$WLC/tanakh_completa.txt"

Parallel Reading

Trilingual — English, Spanish, Hebrew side by side

paste <(grep 'Genesis 1:1 ' "$KJV/kjv_complete.txt") \
      <(grep 'Génesis 1:1 ' "$RV/biblia_rv1909_completa.txt") \
      <(grep 'בְּרֵאשִׁית 1:1 ' "$WLC/tanakh_completa.txt")

Bilingual — Spanish + Hebrew only

paste <(grep 'Génesis 1:1 ' "$RV/biblia_rv1909_completa.txt") \
      <(grep 'בְּרֵאשִׁית 1:1 ' "$WLC/tanakh_completa.txt")

Full chapter — Psalm 23 in all three

grep 'Psalms 23:' "$KJV/Old_Testament/19_Psalms/Psalms.txt"
grep 'Salmos 23:' "$RV/Antiguo_Testamento/19_Salmos/Salmos.txt"
grep 'תְּהִלִּים 23:' "$WLC/Ketuvim/27_Tehillim/Tehillim.txt"

Parallel chapter — verse-aligned with column formatting

paste <(grep 'Psalms 23:' "$KJV/Old_Testament/19_Psalms/Psalms.txt") \
      <(grep 'Salmos 23:' "$RV/Antiguo_Testamento/19_Salmos/Salmos.txt") \
  | column -t -s $'\t'

Cross-Lingual Lookup

Find a verse in one language, show the parallel

ref=$(grep -m1 'grace' "$KJV/New_Testament/49_Ephesians/Ephesians.txt" | awk '{print $2}')
echo "=== English ===" && grep "Ephesians $ref" "$KJV/New_Testament/49_Ephesians/Ephesians.txt"
echo "=== Spanish ===" && grep "Efesios $ref" "$RV/Nuevo_Testamento/49_Efesios/Efesios.txt"

Cross-lingual lookup for NT books uses KJV + RV only. WLC covers OT only (39 books).

Verse Comparison (domus-scripture texto pages)

The spoke texto pages use AsciiDoc superscript format ^N instead of Chapter:Verse. Use ^N\^ to grep them (escape the caret).

Bilingual — KJV + RV1909 (Matthew 5:17)

paste <(grep '\^17\^' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/kjv/new-testament/matthew/texto/texto-005.adoc) \
      <(grep '\^17\^' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/nuevo-testamento/mateo/texto/texto-005.adoc)
# ^17^ Think not that I am come to destroy...    ^17^ ¶ No penséis que he venido para invalidar...

Trilingual — KJV + RV1909 + WLC (Deuteronomy 4:2 — OT only)

paste <(grep '\^2\^' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/kjv/old-testament/deuteronomy/texto/texto-004.adoc) \
      <(grep '\^2\^' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/antiguo-testamento/deuteronomio/texto/texto-004.adoc) \
      <(grep '\^2\^' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/tanakh-study/torah/devarim/texto/texto-004.adoc)

Run from domus-scripture root. WLC covers OT only — trilingual comparison limited to Torah/Nevi’im/Ketuvim.

Reading Workflows

Read an entire chapter — clean output without AsciiDoc markup

sed -n '/^\^1\^/,/^$/p' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/nuevo-testamento/mateo/texto/texto-005.adoc \
  | sed 's/\^[0-9]*\^//g; s/ +$//'

Strips superscript markers and trailing +. Clean reading in the terminal.

Numbered verse reading — restore verse numbers as margin annotations

awk '/^\^[0-9]+\^/ {
  match($0, /\^([0-9]+)\^/, a)
  gsub(/\^[0-9]+\^/, "")
  gsub(/ \+$/, "")
  printf "%3s  %s\n", a[1], $0
}' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/nuevo-testamento/mateo/texto/texto-005.adoc

Read a verse range — e.g., Matthew 5:1-12 (Beatitudes)

awk '/^\^1\^/,/^\^12\^/' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/kjv/new-testament/matthew/texto/texto-005.adoc \
  | sed 's/ +$//'

Daily reading — random Psalm

n=$((RANDOM % 150 + 1))
printf "=== Salmo %d ===\n" "$n"
sed -n '/^\^1\^/,/^$/p' "docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/antiguo-testamento/salmos/texto/texto-$(printf '%03d' $n).adoc" \
  | sed 's/\^[0-9]*\^//g; s/ +$//'

Daily Proverb — one chapter per day of the month

n=$(date +%-d)
printf "=== Proverbios %d ===\n" "$n"
sed -n '/^\^1\^/,/^$/p' "docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/antiguo-testamento/proverbios/texto/texto-$(printf '%03d' $n).adoc" \
  | sed 's/\^[0-9]*\^//g; s/ +$//'

Word Study

Find every verse containing a word across all of RV1909

grep -rn 'gracia' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/*/texto/ \
  | awk -F/ '{book=$9; file=$11; gsub(/texto-|\.adoc:.*/,"",file); printf "%-20s Cap.%s  %s\n", book, file, $NF}' \
  | head -20

Count a word per book — which books mention "gracia" most?

for d in docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/*/*/texto/; do
  book=$(echo "$d" | awk -F/ '{print $9}')
  count=$(grep -rl 'gracia' "$d" 2>/dev/null | wc -l)
  [[ $count -gt 0 ]] && printf "%3d  %s\n" "$count" "$book"
done | sort -rn

Find shared vocabulary — words that appear in both RV1909 and KJV for same book

comm -12 \
  <(grep -oP '\b[a-záéíóú]{5,}\b' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/antiguo-testamento/genesis/texto/texto-001.adoc | sort -u) \
  <(grep -oP '\b[a-z]{5,}\b' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/kjv/old-testament/genesis/texto/texto-001.adoc | sort -u)

Finds cognates and shared Latin-root words between Spanish and English text.

Hebrew root frequency — find how often a root appears in Torah

grep -rohP 'אֱלֹהִ[ים]*' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/tanakh-study/torah/*/texto/*.adoc \
  | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10

defrae integration — look up an RV1909 word immediately

# Find an archaic word, then define it
grep -rn 'empero' docs/modules/ROOT/pages/reina-valera/*/texto/ | head -3
defrae empero
