Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) for Nook: Navigation

This digital edition of the Hebrew Bible provides five options for navigation on the Nook. The first three are fairly common to Nook books, but the final two are specific to this Hebrew Bible; be sure to read them. Note also that navigation details might be different in the various Nook applications for other platforms.

First, when you click on Go to -> Chapter, you have the option of selecting Table of Contents. This Table of Contents provides hyperlinks to each book of the Bible, presented in the order common to most English versions of the Bible (not in the order of the Leningrad Codex itself). Clicking on a link to a book provides a list of chapters from which to choose. Once you click on the desired chapter, you are taken to that chapter and can flip the page to get to the desired verse if need be.

Second, when you click Go to -> Chapter, you can scroll through the list to your desired book of the Bible, again presented in the order of most English versions of the Bible. Clicking on a link to a book provides a list of chapters from which to choose. Once you click on the desired chapter, you are taken to that chapter and can flip the page to get to the desired verse if need be.

Third, you can use Go to -> Page to navigate to a particular location. The book of the Bible will be shown as you move the page selection.

Fourth, you can search for your desired chapter simply by typing in the name of the book and chapter. For example, to go to Genesis 12, simply type “genesis 12” in the Find box. Use the full names of the books listed in the chart below with one exception: use “psalm” rather than “psalms.” The search is not case sensitive. This will take you to the desired chapter. Note, however, that as of the writing of this document, the Nook only searches forward from your present location in the Bible. Thus, for example, if you are reading in Exodus and wish to navigate to Genesis 12, you need to navigate first to a location before your desired location (e.g. by clicking Go to and selecting something before your desired location).

Fifth, you can navigate directly to a particular verse by searching for that verse using an abbreviated form of the book name and using spaces to separate the book name, chapter, and verse. For example, to navigate to Genesis 12:3, type “ge 12 3” in the Find box. This will take you to the page on which Genesis 12:3 appears. The search is not case sensitive. Note, however, that as of the writing of this document, the Nook only searches forward from your present location in the Bible. Thus, for example, if you are reading in Exodus and wish to navigate to Genesis 12, you need to navigate first to a location before your desired location (e.g. by clicking Go to and selecting something before your desired location).

* Use “Psalm” when searching for a chapter. E.g. type “psalm 2” in the Find box. Use the abbreviation “ps” when searching for a verse. E.g. type “ps 2 4” in the Find box.
