These notes are part of the blog post I wrote in my quest of trying to learn Hebrew. Maybe you want to check that out first for proper context. Some important notes to keep in mind: I am applying literate programming for some lisp code that I write to maintain my Doom Emacs configuration. I am using pysword which is a wrapper in python around the Sword project. So I already have the bible modules correctly correctly installed on my computer.
