This article has been periodically updated for over 7 years, and discusses the features of a number of Bible code software programs which enable the average person to look for the hidden codes in the Bible. From my own research, the extent of the codes is much greater than shown in books on the Bible codes. There have been huge advances in Bible code software since the mid-90's (over 1000 times faster and also automation). The best commercial codes software programs makes it all far easier for everyone, beginner or expert. You need a program that has automatic terms matching and also statistics capabilities.

Psalms 139:16 Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and IN THY BOOK THEY WERE ALL WRITTEN, THE DAYS THAT WERE ORDAINED FOR ME, WHEN AS YET THERE WAS NOT ONE OF THEM.

Macintosh:
A. My recommendation for Mac Owners
There are NO Bible codes programs for the Mac. However, Mac owners have 3 options. VirtualPC will run the top 3 ranked Bible code programs made for the PC, as evidenced by feedback from Mac owners who have done it (downside is $200 cost). Secondly, Parallels Desktop allows newer Macs to run Mac OS and Windows on their machine (cost $70-80 and highly rated). Thirdly, Apple has Boot Camp in a free beta that allows new Intel-Macs to run either Mac OS or Windows XP. It is better to use Boot Camp if you have a new Mac, because Windows runs natively without emulation, so Windows will run at higher speed; however, those selling Parallels Desktop say it is better to run Windows in an emulation. You can read online about the options. No one is developing a modern Mac Bible codes program because of perceived market size.

B. Torah Codes MAC from Torah Educational Software http://www.jewishsoftware.com/

This is the only program available for the Macintosh that I know of. Torah Educational Software in New York and Israel sells the program for $19.95.
Speed Test--same test as for PCs below, at least 6 hours or more. (versus less than 30 seconds for the PC programs).
Pro's--absolutely no positives, this program is a waste of money
Con's--more than 1000 times slower than PC programs, OS9 or earlier, searches only the Torah (first five books of the Bible), NO display of matrix onscreen, you have to print a matrix and limited to 28 columns, searches only for one search term. It's old, it's slow, and in summary, it has nowhere near the capabilities of PC programs. I give it two thumbs down, although if I had more thumbs it would rate more than 2 thumbs down.

PC Windows Bible Code Software: in ranked order (#1 and #2 are the best by far)

1. CodeFinder: Millennium Edition, by Research Systems, (Win 95 to XP)
2. Keys to the Bible from Computronic Corp., new program Jan 2004 (Win 98 to XP)
2. Bible Search PRO, from TorahSoft, (Win 98 to XP)
4. Bible Codes Plus (formerly Bible Codes 2000) from Computronic Corp. (Win 95 to XP)
5. Unlocking the Bible Codes, from Doko Media Ltd., (Win 95 to XP)
6. ABC Decoder from Computronic Corp. (Win 95 to XP)
7. Bible Code Oracle, version 1.6 by Xentao (Win 98 to XP, requires .Net from MS)
8. Torah Codes 2000, from Torah Educational Software (Win 95 and up)

Note: I have eliminated the (3) free Bible code software programs from this article, because they are not up to the standards and capabilities of the commercial codes software programs. I have found that those who've downloaded the free programs, often become frustrated and most abandon the Bible codes; because these free programs are hard to use and have no technical support (and don't work with Win XP). I'd rather see someone buy a commercial program and see that they can achieve results, rather than to try and go the free route, become frustrated, and give up. Why is this true? Because the best commercial programs have automatic terms matching which cuts the time necessary to achieve results by 99%; and the old free programs required the user to do everything manually, which required extensive knowledge of Bible codes theory to achieve results (if possible). Having been at this a long time, I just think I should help you achieve results.

Test parameters for ELS codes searches:

1. What does it search? e.g. Torah only, entire Tanach, other languages than Hebrew?
2. How fast does it search? Is it accurate?
3. Does it search for single terms only or multiple terms in a search, & how many?
4. What are maximum program ELS skip search ranges? For example, -30k to 30k, -50k to 50k, etc.
5. What advanced codes research features are available in the program? e.g. specify begin and end of search range, user sets the matrix width or is it automatic only, search within searches, dictionary searches?
6. Printing of search finds and/or matrix?
7. Hebrew and English scriptures in a window?
8. Overall ease of use?
9. Is the program complete with fonts and scripture texts?
10. Extra program functions, not directly related to codes research.
11. Subjective reviewer affection for program? What I like. :-)

1. What does it search?
[The Tanach (or Tanakh) is called the Old Testament by Christians, the Torah is the first 5 books; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. The order of books in the Tanach is different than the Christian Old Testament, and the chapter and verse divisions are often different.

All 8 programs search the Hebrew Torah, and I believe all programs use the Koren Edition Torah, so that results will be the same for all programs in the Torah. Not so for the Tanach.

The Tanach in Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes 2000 is the latest from Koren researchers in Jerusalem with some changes (14 letter changes?) from the printed Koren The Jerusalem Bible. I consider it to be the most accurate Tanach in the world. The Tanach in CodeFinder: ME and Bible Decoder is hand corrected to the printed Koren, The Jerusalem Bible. All the other programs have a somewhat less accurate Tanach as compared to the Koren Tanach. Bible Code Oracle only searches the Torah.

2. How fast does it search? (updated 8/05/2004)
Speed Test One: The following speed test is for a single search term (6 letters), the name Edison (aleph dalet yud samech vav nun), ELS skip range from 1 to 20,000 and looking for forward and reverse occurrences. The text range is the entire Torah (1st 5 books of the Bible). Statistical number of expected occurrences is 60.2. Test Computer A was a 475 mhz AMD K6-2 PC with 128 mb of ram, using Windows 98, 2nd edition, and Test Computer B is a 2.0 ghz AMD using Windows XP Home (256 mb of ram).

Speed Test One Notes:
1. Since all the programs above allow for search of multiple terms in the initial search, a speed test for a single term may seem to be not quite representative. However, they all search for multiple terms sequentially, therefore the above speed test really does give a fairly accurate look at performance.
2. The discrepancy in the number of finds for Torah Codes 2000 is due to an unknown reason right now. The Torah in that program has 304,805 letters, the same as in all the other programs. So either the Torah has a few different letters in it, or Torah Codes 2000 is simply unable to find all occurrences.
3. I could not get Torah Codes 2000 to run on my newer computer with Windows XP.
4. I am unable to accurately time CodeFinder: ME at less than 1 second, since anything that gets down in that range is too quick to time accurately.

Speed Test Two: The purpose of the 2nd test is to search for a shorter word, with a much higher number of expected finds, in this case above 3000. Some programs bog down with higher numbers of finds, while others search faster on shorter terms even though there are many more finds. Compare with the results in test one above, it's eye-opening. The search is for a four letter name, George (gimel vav resh gimel); text is the entire Torah; ELS range 1 to 20,000 forward and reverse occurrences; and the same 2 computers. Statistical number of expected occurrences is 3132.

Speed Test Two Notes:
1. This second speed test highlights a serious design shortcoming in Torah Codes 2000. Although the program allows users to search for multiple terms, it has a maximum cumulative number limitation of 1240 finds. This limit is far too low as compared to all the other programs.

3. Does it search for single terms, or multiple terms, and terms matching?
In my opinion, as someone who has been involved in Bible codes research for many years, terms matching is the key feature desired. All programs search for multiple terms, but only the best programs do terms matching well. Without terms matching, everything has to be investigated manually, one by one; and terms matching cuts down the time needed to achieve excellent results from 10's of hours to minutes. Many people have dabbled in the codes with a free or old program that didn't do terms matching, and it was so difficult for them, many gave up. Terms matching enables a novice to achieve what used to take extensive knowledge and experience to achieve. I cannot overemphasize this point.

CodeFinder: Millenium Edition, Keys to the Bible, Bible Search Pro, Bible Codes Plus/2000, Unlocking the Bible Code and Bible Code Oracle have terms matching. CodeFinder: Millennium Edition is superior in this aspect, both in data handling and the user-customizable methods for searching data.

1. CodeFinder: Millenium Edition: Search up to 500 individual terms at once, at a blinding speed, faster than all others. In using CodeFinder: ME, the program designates the first term in the search list as the main/key term and matches all other terms to it based on the desired size matrix set in Settings. As a plus, CodeFinder: ME is also the only program that allows toroidal searches (circular text). All other programs allow a straight codes search as if the text were a straight line with no spaces between the letters. CodeFinder: ME allows a straight search text and also a toroidal search where the beginning and end of the search text are connected (a circular text). Many of the incredible matrixes I've done lately have been toroidal matrixes (for example, the matrixes shown on the last two History Channel specials: End of Days matrix and WMD from Iraq matrix). Superior automatic terms matching.

2. Keys to the Bible (and Bible Codes Plus/2000): Both of these programs by Computronic Corp in Israel allow search for 7 terms in the initial search, and then allows either dictionary searches in the displayed matrix, or searches within searches with up to 6 terms at a time. In a code search, one enters the main/key term and up to 6 other terms in the initial search; and the program matches the occurrences of the other terms to the occurrences of the main/key term. It works well.

2. Bible Search Pro: Allows best-fit match for 2 to 50 terms. Matches made via choice of least area, smallest diagonal, or WRR distance measure for best-fit matches. Flexibility in matching terms gives users some control in how best to arrive at desired results. It works well.

5. Unlocking the Bible Code: Terms matches only word pairs. It's a primitive start in the type of terms matching done by the best programs, but not up to the capabilities of these better programs.

7. Bible Code Oracle: Program has matching and automatching for designated terms in an already searched list. While fully automatic, the program is slow as compared to the other programs, and doesn't allow varying matrix ELS for row-splits as do the four programs above. Row-splits are the means to flatten a 3-dimensional matrix into a 2 dimensional flat matrix. As a long time codes researcher, I find Bible Code Oracle doesn't give the flexibility needed for advanced codes research, since the program designers decided they knew best and built it to operate in only one way.

4. What are the maximum ELS skip ranges in the program?

a. CodeFinder: Millennium Edition to text size and term length.
b. Keys to the Bible, Bible Codes Plus (2000) & ABC Decoder to text size and term length.
c. Bible Search Pro to limit of text.
d. Unlocking the Bible Codes to 65,000.
e. Bible Code Oracle to (unknown but probably to limit of the Torah and term length).
d. Torah Codes 2000 to (limit not shown).

All programs are good in this category.

5. What advanced codes research features are in the programs?

Terms Matching: CodeFinder: ME is the fastest codes program and automatically matches up to 500 terms. It does it with row-split enabled or disabled, something no other program does. Bible Search Pro matches 2-50 terms in a variety of selectable methods. A crucial function.

Bilingual Dictionary: Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus (2000) have 5 bilingual Hebrew dictionaries that are superior to all other programs, plus date conversion, years database, and anagram function; and most notable it does dictionary searches in the matrix using all dictionaries. Bible Search Pro has a small bilingual dictionary and includes the massive Babylon bilingual dictionary program on the CD. It does dictionary search with the smaller dictionary, a good feature. Unlocking the Bible Code has a number of bilingual dictionaries that work very well.

Statistics: CodeFinder: ME and Keys to the Bible use the R-value system, giving a quick "in the ballpark" statistical calculation for the matrix. I think they both work extremely well. Bible Search Pro has a more academic and complicated set of statistics tools that work well, but require a bit more knowledge of statistics to wring out the meaning. A really helpful way to judge the value of a matrix mathematically; since some can portray seemingly meaningful matrixes to the unwary but when analyzed statistically, it falls short on relevance. That doesn't mean the matrix is wrong or not valuable, but if not statistically significant, the question is open.

Date Conversion: CodeFinder: ME, Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus (2000) have fantastic and easy to use date and calendar conversion tools. Unlocking the Bible Code has a good capability but doesn't allow selectively using the "hey" for thousands; it uses only the short version for the year.

Row-Splits: A means to collapse a 3D matrix to 2D, and CodeFinder: ME does it best. Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus also do it very well. This capability leads to far more relevant matrixes, and one has to know the theory to do it all manually and at a great expense in time spent.

Matrix Display: All the programs do this well except Torah Codes 2000. Unlocking the Bible Code is downgraded because it repeats the matrix horizontally which many times has caused confusion to the users. Bible Code Oracle actually has visually nice looking color display, but doesn't allow for any modification making it suitable only for trivial codes work.

Matrix Report: A crucial capability, since this function allows you to make your finds available to others. CodeFinder: ME and Keys to the Bible are clearly superior here, with my preference slightly going to the CodeFinder matrix report.

Data Handling: When looking for many terms, the ability to handle large amounts of terms and finds is crucial in order to not get lost. CodeFinder: ME's tree system is the best. It's only limited by amount of ram memory. Some other programs have a lower "maximum number of terms found", which limits the program.

Scripture Window: Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus (2000) is the only program that has nikud (vowelization marks) in the Hebrew scripture window display, or you can turn them off. These programs actually have many supplemental functions that enable Bible study including outstanding concordances. In actuality, the price of Keys to the Bible is about the same price as a Bible program that has the Koren Torah and Tanach and concordances, so Keys to the Bible is a great deal. The scripture windows in Bible Search Pro are good and it has excellent concordances.

Able to Vary Search Text: The best programs allow the user to not only search the Torah and Tanach, but to select a book for search, or from letter number to letter number, or book-chapter-verse to book-chapter-verse. Those marked good allow Torah, Tanach, or book, or section, but don't allow a small custom length search text. Bible Code Oracle only searches the Torah and one cannot vary that at all.

Program Updates: Does it cost to upgrade a program when a new version comes out? With CodeFinder: Millennium Edition and Bible Search Pro, updates to new versions are a free download for owners of the program.

***Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus (2000) from Computronics provide free bug fixes, but do not come out with new versions. Instead, Computronics comes out with a new program that is significantly better (example is Keys to the Bible coming out in 2004 and superseding Bible Codes 2000/Plus).

The other programs marked none have never come out with newer versions.

Numbers Conversion: This is the capability to convert numbers to Hebrew letters or words. Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus are outstanding in doing both. CodeFinder: ME does it well. The rest of the programs do not have a numbers conversion function.

Toggle to English Tools: CodeFinder: ME allows the user to toggle the Search List and Search Results List from Hebrew to English and back again; and it gives the user a cursor tooltip function to click on a marked letter in the matrix where a small window pops up showing the term in Hebrew and English, and gives the ELS skip and statistical text R-value. The rest of the programs don't have toggle capability, but show terms in a list with Hebrew and English. Bible Search Pro also has the unique capability to toggle the entire matrix from Hebrew letters to English letters. Since it doesn't have vowels when toggled, one still has to know the Hebrew words, perhaps limiting usefulness.

Matrix Filter: CodeFinder: ME has a unique set of functions of matrix filters called "closest" and "smallest". These allow the program to automatically analyze all results and come up with the smallest size matrix, or where the terms are closest from each other. Bible Search Pro has choice of least area, smallest diagonal, or WRR distance measure for best-fit matches. While Bible Code Oracle is limited in many ways, it does have a setting for matching terms based on distance.

Add Terms Seen Visually In The Matrix: CodeFinder: ME has a cursor rubberband feature where you drag over the letters in the matrix and add the term to the search list without typing. This is handy when you visually spot a new term in the displayed matrix. Keys to the Bible, Bible Codes Plus and ABC Decoder allows the user to select symbol and symbol color and then click on each letter in the matrix to add a visually spotted term. With all the other programs, one would manually type in the letters in the search list for a visually spotted new term in the matrix.

Tutorial: All the programs have a solid HELP as an electronic manual replete with graphics to show functions and explain features. Don't ignore the HELP in the programs. CodeFinder: ME comes with an extensive PDF Tutorial with 3 step by step Lessons to teach program functions, teach the alphabet, transliterations and aids; plus an extensive HELP electronic manual with graphics. Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus both have an onscreen color Tutorial going through a search, plus HELP, plus a 100-page printed manual. Bible Search Pro has an extensive HELP with Tutorials with graphics, alphabet tutorial, statistics tutorial; and has codes articles and codes audio files on their website. Unlocking the Bible Code has an good HELP with graphics. ABC Decoder has an onscreen color Tutorial going through a search example, plus HELP. Bible Code Oracle has HELP with extensive color graphics. Torah Codes 2000 has a good HELP.

6. Does it include printing capabilities?
Matrix printing: yes (saves as .BMP file)

Matrix report: CodeFinder: ME is superior saving the matrix report as an RTF file with color. Keys to the Bible is second best with a matrix report and statistics report. All other programs are lacking good matrix reports.

7. Hebrew and English scriptures displayed?
All programs display Hebrew and English scriptures (in different ways). The best display of the entire Hebrew Torah and Tanach with nikudim (vowelization marks) is in Keys to the Bible and Bible Codes Plus.

8. Overall ease of use?
All the programs have become very easy to use and function-rich as compared to the mid 90's. The Bible codes software companies and authors have pushed codes research ahead by leaps and bounds. I applaud your work.

9. Is the program complete with texts and fonts?
All programs come with everything you need.

10. Extra program functions, not directly related to codes research.
I added this section to the article, since some of the programs have many excellent functions in addition to those directly used in codes research.

11. What is the subjective assessment of the reviewer towards all the programs?
Unlike almost all codes researchers, I have all of the programs on my computer, so I could pick and choose and use different progams for different tasks. Personally, I choose to use two programs for ALL my codes searches: CodeFinder: Millennium Edition and Keys to the Bible. Bible Search Pro also has equally advanced Bible codes capabilities, which makes it a viable candidate for you. I would not hesitate to recommend CodeFinder: Millennium Edition, Keys to the Bible, or Bible Search Pro as your only logical choice, since they are clearly superior to all the other programs by a comfortable margin.

You've read about all the functions in the various Bible code programs above, but the bottom line is that if you want to achieve the best results with a lot less work, then you'll get CodeFinder: Millennium Edition , Keys to the Bible, or Bible Search Pro; all the others are less capable.

Dictionaries: Printed and Dictionary Software

There are many people in the USA who would like to search for the codes, but they have no knowledge of Hebrew. There is help and it's not that hard. Computronic Corp makes a superb translation software called Jerusalem Dictionary or Super Milon 2000, ($69.95). This is their flagship software product, and translates words and phrases from Hebrew to English and from English to Hebrew. It also has synonyms and antonyms, verbs, and a spell checker. It's a super program with over 200,000 word & phrase capabilities in both languages, and I use it myself. I have it set up as a start-up program, and can bring it up any time in any program, with a simple keyboard command. It works by allowing translation from English to Hebrew, then click on the Hebrew word and it's entered in the window for codes search. It will aid you in translating to & from English to Hebrew.

The second thing needed is a printed Hebrew to English and English to Hebrew dictionary. I use the Ben-Yehuda's Pocket Hebrew-English and English-Hebrew dictionary extensively; and it is very inexpensive (~$7.00), while also comprehensive. The Oxford English-Hebrew dictionary is more comprehensive and includes technical, scientific, and slang terms, but is more expensive at ~$20.50 (papercover). The Oxford dictionary only goes from English to Hebrew, whereas Ben-Yehuda's Dictionary goes from Hebrew to English and English to Hebrew.

My ranking of what I consider the top 3 print dictionaries is:

1. Ben-Yehuda's Pocket Hebrew-English Dictionary (~$7.00)
2. The Oxford English-Hebrew Dictionary (~$20.50 papercover)
3. Webster's New World Hebrew Dictionary (~$13.00).

All 3 should be available at Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com at a nice discount. Don't buy all three. The above prices are what I saw on Amazon today.
