Install these three pets
2. Drag the jsword bin to the desktop from:
- usr/local/bin/jsword
3. Add a bible icon to the jsword bin on the desktop
Then add an icon to the binary by right clicking and
choosing "set icon"
Get the icon here

Glad to see it
I haven't tried Jsword yet, but this looks good.
Most of the Bibles/books are ones I've installed on Xiphos.
A couple random ideas for books you might or might not want to include:
1. Treasury of David-Spurgeon's commentary on Psalms
2. I occasionally look at the comments from the Geneva Bible (but others probably won't)
3. The "Apostle's Bible" is a translation of the Septuagint. (This occasionally differs from the Masoretic Text, and the New Testament typically follows the Septuagint. So if I want to look up a cross-reference from the New Testament, I sometimes use this. For an example of what I mean, compare Hebrews 1:6 with Deuteronomy 32:43 in both the Apostle's Bible and either Darby or the KJV.)
4. I look at Robertson's Word Pictures a bit. It's based off the NU-Text, but it is a good look at the connotation of the Greek text.
3 & 4 are the ones I use most.
