Biblical integrity
Scripture stays Scripture.
In Yashav, the Bible is the only authority. Everything Yashav writes is there to help you read it well — and it is always marked as such.
Four commitments.
These shape how every study, prayer and plan in Yashav is made.
Scripture is never fabricated.
The Bible text you read in Yashav comes from a supported translation stored in the app. It is never written by AI. When a study or prayer quotes a verse, the words are taken from that translation, not composed.
Scripture and interpretation stay distinguishable.
The words of the Bible, the study notes that explain them and your own responses are kept apart — visually and in how they are labelled. Interpretation is marked as interpretation, and a prepared prayer is labelled as a prayer.
Interpretation stays grounded in the text.
A study points back to what the passage actually says. It is not shaped to confirm an answer someone wanted. In the fuller Inductive and Contextual studies, Yashav marks where careful readers genuinely differ, or where a reading is less certain, so it never reads as settled fact. It also notes where interpretation needs care.
Yashav works within the 66-book canon.
Yashav uses the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. References in generated studies and prayers are checked against that canon.
You can always tell which words are Scripture.
Bible text appears in the same serif typeface throughout Yashav, with its reference and translation. Study notes and prayers use a different typeface and are labelled as what they are.
In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.
Study notes and prayers look like this — clearly set apart, and always labelled.
Supported translations.
Yashav includes two complete, public-domain English translations. Other translations will only be offered once they are properly licensed and their text has been checked.

What Yashav does not claim.
Yashav uses AI as a study assistant, not as an authority on Scripture. What it writes can contain errors.
It is not Scripture.
Nothing Yashav writes is presented as the Bible.
It is not revelation or prophecy.
Yashav is instructed never to claim to speak for God, to prophesy or to promise an outcome.
It is not pastoral direction.
It does not replace the care of a pastor or a church family.
It is not professional advice.
It is no substitute for medical, legal, financial or safeguarding advice.
Reading well with Yashav.
We ask the people who use Yashav to read the way a careful student would.
Read the passage itself.
Start with the words of the Bible, not with what is said about them.
Tell the text from the explanation.
Notice which words are Scripture and which are study notes or prayer.
Check references in context.
Open a cited passage and read what surrounds it.
Treat generated wording as fallible.
Weigh it, question it, and set it aside when it doesn’t fit the text.
Seek wise help.
Talk to a pastor, a trusted teacher or a qualified scholar where it matters.
Alongside your church, not instead of it.
Yashav is a companion for personal study. It does not replace your church, your pastor, the devotionals you love, or the slow work of prayerful discernment. It is there to help you spend longer with the Bible itself, and bring what you find back into the life you already share with others.
When you need more than a study app.
Yashav is not an emergency, crisis, medical, legal, financial, safeguarding or mental-health service. If you or someone else is in danger or at risk of harm, contact your local emergency services now, and a safe, trusted person or professional. Yashav cannot contact emergency services for you.
