    The answer varies by section:

    • Word by Word you select
    • Grammars whatever the grammars use
    • Lemma in Passage whatever the commentaries use
    • Textual variants are grouped by source
    • Visualizations you select 

    If you narrow your question, I'll be able to give a more precise answer. BTW the Greek couldn't come from the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Peshitta, Vulgate or Masoretic. It can only come from Greek sources or were you thinking of reverse interlinears to the Greek?

    These are not Greek

    Peshitta Syriac - Syriac

    Vulgate - Latin

    Masoretic - Hebrew

    Thanks guys I wish I could narrow down my question. But that's as far as my knowledge goes to be honest. 

    I am completely new to it and was hoping to brush up on my understanding. 

    This was a less than a layman's understanding of trying to understand that different manuscripts vary from each other. So when I go to the Greek or Hebrew what manuscript would I be looking at. 

    I understand w little more now by your answer mj 

    Your a credit to the forum. 

    I am not that knowledgeable yet in these things. I'm still in way over my head with all this talk. 

    I am trying to understand gradually

    Ooopsy, doopsy ... I regularly consult the ISV due to its use of the DSS greek readings. But I suspect the OP's question's answer is Lexham's in-house greek behind the RIs.

    In that case, the answer is usually the SBL Greek NT.

    Sorry I was thinking this. About the reverse inlinsers 

    When I click the button. I see greek text from the new testament. What manuscripts dose that use? 

    My apologies for the Poor attempt at a simple question.

    I am trying to understand something. 

    When I see verses missing from the niv per say. I understand some manuscripts don't have that verse in them. Thats understandable. 

    But say proverbs 18:24 the verse in the kjv is different compared with the niv or ESV or lsb an so on 

    I am hoping to understand a little more from behind the scenes

    The About pane in each resource will give details about this (the i button on the Home tab of the resource panel). Check the Reverse Interlinear section on the About pane.

    No need to apologize - asking is the best way to learn so keep asking.
