About
A place to sit with the Bible.
Yashav is a Scripture study and prayer app. This is the short story of where it came from, and what its name and symbol mean.
How it began
With an ordinary habit.
You read a devotional and value what someone else has drawn from a passage. And sometimes you find yourself wanting to stay with the Scripture underneath it — to ask:
- What does this passage say?
- What am I noticing?
- What is its context?
- What might I have missed?
- How do I respond to it in prayer?
Yashav was never meant to replace the devotional, the pastor, the church or your own Bible reading. It was meant to be somewhere to remain with the Word a little longer.
From that grew one connected rhythm — READ • STUDY • PRAY — and, around it, places to remember, to pray, to fast, to look back and, sometimes, to share.
Yashav. To remain.
The name comes from the Hebrew verb yāšaḇ (יָשַׁב). Its first sense is simply to sit down. From there it reaches to dwelling, and to remaining.
That is what Yashav is for: not simply passing through Scripture, but sitting with it, dwelling in it, and giving the text time and attention.
A place to sit, dwell, remain.
The symbol
Three dots, and a path.
- The three dots
- Read, Study, Pray.
- The sweep
- A path — movement and progress, deeper understanding, a continual journey.
It is why a path runs through these pages, from golden hour to dusk.
