BibLens

An Obsidian plugin that detects Bible references in your notes and shows the verse text as a hover preview — in the editor and in Reading View.

Works fully offline. No external services required.

Demo

BibLens demo

Features

Automatic reference detection

BibLens recognises Bible references directly in your Markdown notes.

Examples:

John 3:16
Exod 2,15
Isa 6,25-7,3

Detected references are underlined in the editor.

Hover preview

Hovering a reference displays the verse text.

Supported in:

  • Reading View
  • Live Preview editor

The preview shows the verse number and verse text.

If the verse is not available in the selected translation, the plugin shows:

Verse not found

Insert verse text

Command palette command:

BibLens: Insert verse text after reference

The command finds the last reference before the current position and inserts the verse text after it.

The command:

BibLens: Replace previous reference by quote

replaces the reference with an Obsidian blockquote containing the verse or passage text.

Example:

Mat 1,3

becomes

> Matt 1,3 — Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar...

Translations and language packs

BibLens separates software from data.

The plugin downloads available resources from the BibLens data repository.

Resource types:

  • Bible translations
  • Language packs (book name aliases)
  • Reference formats (abbreviation rules)

Users can install and remove these resources from the plugin settings.

Settings

The settings panel allows you to configure:

Current settings:

  • Translation
  • Language pack
  • Reference format

Advanced:

  • parsing rules

All installed resources can be managed directly from the settings interface.

Data repository

Available translations and language packs are stored in a separate repository:

https://github.com/marekpola/biblens-data

This allows new translations and language packs to be published without updating the plugin.
