How to read this index
The reference shown is the earliest indexed verse that names the person in the selected edition: ESV in English and ARA in Portuguese. The two editions sometimes use different spellings or verse numbers.
This edition covers named people in the 66-book Protestant canon. Forty source records were excluded because the editions give a different reading, name a figure only in a psalm title, describe a group or place, or already have that person under another name. Identifying notes retain their source wording in English.
Name forms, transliterations, and identifying notes are adapted from Brady Stephenson, BibleData v1.0 (2026) (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0). Verse text sourced from the ESV and ARA in Logos; original-script examples checked against BHS and SBLGNT. Portuguese book names and selected conventional personal names are supplied by this edition.
