Id like to view the modules in my E-Sword X application on my Mac running OS El Capitan. Having trouble locating them. I've tried Finder - Go - Go to folder - enter /Library and still couldn't locate the correct file. Am I overlooking something? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been using Logos for eight years. There are only a couple features that I like and use frequently, which e-Sword X has. I also have lots of personal books on Logos. I am considering dropping Logos for e-Sword X.


In the last couple of days, I have been testing e-Sword X on my Mac (Mojave). I downloaded 10 modules (4 public 6 purchased). I also started some Study and Topical Notes. Then, this morning, e-Sword X would not open. The icon was just jumping up and down. Finally, a message came up saying something to the effect, "... you must completely delete e-Sword X and re-download from the App Store..." I did exactly that and it downloaded just fine. But, everything is gone! I'm thinking that this is NOT the first time that this will happen. I had to download all of the modules again. And, my Study and Topical Notes... who knows where they are!


IF I cannot save my modules and notes right now and restore them quickly later (when this happens again), I am not spending any more time with e-Sword X, nor will I ever recommend it to serious Bible Students.


I also had this problem and because of this almost scrapped using e-sword. I have over 5,500 entries in the study module so not being able to access is a show stopper. I also like to keep a back up of all my modules that i have purchased or are default with e-sword instead of having to reinstall all the time


I just recently downloaded numerous modules for the Hebrew text (BHSE, BHSEk, etc) and Lange Commentary onto my MacBook Pro (running Mojave 10.14.5) and installed them on my e-Sword X (6.0.1) program. After double-clicking them, they installed and showed up fine in the program. However, when I installed these files, they immediately left my downloads folder in Finder and I cannot find them anywhere on my computer in order to download them to my e-Sword LT on my iPhone (12.4.1).


I recently installed e-Sword and would dearly love to install a module for a bible translation program in which i was involved in PNG. I found the module on pngscriptures.org, and downloaded the zipped file which is supposedly in sword module format. However, i have not had any success getting it into e-Sword.


I'm embarrassed to admit it but I will. I love to read but I cannot get my mind to comprehend reading how to make modules for E-sword. I need a visual guide for me to get the idea of what is to be done. Are there any videos or Youtube videos of E-sword Module making available to watch?


Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)

6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


If you have .exe files downloaded just double click on it and follow instructions. If you have .zip files double click and a window should open with the file. Right click on it and choose copy. Navigate to program files (x86)/esword and right click in the file area and choose paste.


The easiest way is to download the module installer available here on Bible Support. Once you have this program downloaded and installed on your computer, you simply click the module file you want to install and the module installer will start automatically allowing the module to be installed with just a single mouse click .



Here is the link to download the module installer:


Modules will not download directly into your e-sword folder unless you are downloading from within e-sword itself. Downloads from this site need to be installed into e-sword and the best tool for that is the Module installer. The best method is to download and install the module installer from this site first then when you download modules from here download them to you windows desktop. After the module downloads to the desktop click it and the module installer will activate allowing you to install the module into the e-sword program folder


Actually, installers whether using the Module Installer or the Setup installer programs for the resources, their default path is always C:\Program Files (x86)\e-Sword, unless changed by the user. See Screenshot below.


So, my take on this is the person hasn't got a clue as to what he/she is doing, and the issue that he/she is facing is of his or her own origin/making, which is a classical PEBKAC, or is totally computer illiterate, or just totally blind, and not seeing what he or she is doing. Unreal!


Hello....don't mean to be repetative if this post is in here somewhere but I can't find it. I'm having problems downloading my purchased modules from e-Sword. They show up on the e-Sword Module Downloader but won't download. I've done all the "give it the administration permissions", gave it all the permissions on it's security folders, started it in the administrative mode but nothing works (see attached files).....frustrating. Read some posts online and others are having similar problems but no one has a solution yet. Thought maybe somebody here can help. I have the 10.0.4 version running on Windows 7 Pro. Thanks for any replies.


I assume that you're able to get the module you want selected and shown in the selected for download window. The next step is to click the "download" button near the top left of the download screen. Click "start" and anything in the download selection window should start downloading. If not, maybe your firewall is blocking it. You didn't say if you were getting any error messages. I hope this helps.


I seem to be having the same (or similar) problem. Downloaded and installed the latest version, uninstalled the old one, installed the new one, restarted the laptop. I do have Win10 and no problem downloading other stuff. btw, I would have to say that e-sword is my all-time favorite Bible program -- when it works. ...sigh...


I have the same problem since updating to the newest version of e-sword. On the download page some of the module titles are red, not blue as they used to be, these are the ones that I cannot download. Also they do not transfer to the bottom of the page either. I purposely deleted the JFB commentary since it hasn't worked after the update, intending to re download it, but it a red title now and will not budge. It doesn't say installed on my download page either so it knows I don't have it.


If I'm getting this right, it sounds like I need to uninstall e-sword, then install an earlier version (e-sword 9), then I may be able to download the modules. Once they're downloaded, and open in e-sword, I can copy them into a separate file and reinstall e-sword 11 and paste those modules into its folder. I've used this method for modules I've created myself and it works. So I'll give it a go.


While both the 1984 and 2011 editions of the NIV are available as e-Sword modules the 1978 version which was the first complete NIV bible published (The NIV NT was published on it's own in 1973) is not available.



However I recently discovered a module repository for the MyBible App which includes a MyBible module of the 1978 NIV. Here is the really interesting thing about this, both MyBible and e-Sword use SqLite databases for module creation which means converting the MyBible 1978 NIV module for e-Sword will be easy to do.



It is probably not possible to upload a 1978 NIV module to Biblesupport for downloading but I wonder if there are some who would want to study the 1978 NIV



If you want to see the Mybible module repository here is the link:
