How to Use the Dictionary Tool
(How to Use the D-Button)

1. To view the dictionary information as pertains to any passage of Scripture, first go to that portion of Scripture in the Blue Letter Bible (the easiest means to this end is to search out the verse from our home page).


2. Once on the page with the desired passage, you will notice that each verse of Scripture is prefaced by an assortment of buttons (generally , , , , , and/or ). The button links to the dictionary information associated with the selected verse (hence the "D" for "dictionary"). Click on the button as illustrated below.


3. This will pop up a window featuring a drop-down menu allowing access to the appropriate dictionaries. In our example, the first cell of the menu says "NAVES DICTIONARY ENTRIES:".


4. If you click directly on the menu or the down arrow , a list of commentary choices will appear. Choose one of these by clicking on it (as illustrated below) — the name of the chosen commentary will then replace the "NAVES DICTIONARY ENTRIES:" text in the head of the drop-down menu.


5. Now you need only click on the button to see a page displaying the dictionary information that you have selected.
