Welcome to Two Hills Lab
Quantitative tools for textual analysis and digital humanities
What is Two Hills Lab?
Description of the image below, for accessibility: The image displays a list of the books of the Bible, arranged according to the average number of words in each book. This unique arrangement revealed new insights about the Bible for the first time.
Two Hills Lab is a digital humanities research lab located in Two Hills (in Hebrew translation). We are a small, dynamic, and independent lab.
Two Hills Lab is also the name of a free, web-based platform—recently featured on Ynet—dedicated to large-scale quantitative analysis of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), related corpora, and texts from all fields of knowledge.
The platform was created at the intersection of computational linguistics, Big Data, and Jewish history. Our goal is to empower researchers, students, and curious readers, enabling them to explore ancient and modern texts with new empirical clarity.
What We Offer
Although our roots are planted in biblical research and Jewish history, our tools are designed for the broader digital humanities community.
- Advanced Textual Analysis: Free software for performing stylistic, linguistic, and structural analysis of texts in any language (including full support for Hebrew vocalization/niqqud).
- Biblical Segmentation and RAG: Groundbreaking research revealing how structural markers in the Bible reflect modern “Chunking” used in Artificial Intelligence and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
- Open Research: We regularly publish new findings—such as identifying a metric Average Verse Length (AVL) to distinguish between prose and poetry in the Bible—and make these insights accessible to the general public.
Built for Researchers, Freely Open to All
The goal of Two Hills Lab is not to replace traditional philology, but to enrich it. By providing global quantitative parameters, our platform helps researchers illuminate textual structures, surface unexpected thematic connections, and make innovative comparisons between chapters and verses.
