# grb -- Greek Bible on the Command Line
A command line tool for search and reading the Bible in Greek.
The Old Testament is the Septuagint (containing some differing texts), and the New Testament is the [SBL Greek New Testament](http://sblgnt.com/download/).

## Notes and Contents
- I/II Samuel and I/II Kings are named with their English titles despite the fact that in Greek they are respectively I-IV Kings. This is simply because the interface is in English and is supposed to be consistent with `kjv`.
- What are in some versions the books Erza and Nehemiah are in the Septuagit 2 Esdras. However these books/verse can be accessed via either possible name.
- Apochrophal and Deuterocanonical books included, including:

- Wisdom of Solomon
- Psalms of Solomon
- Zephaniah (Sophonias)
