Stay with the Word
Hagah helps you meditate on Scripture by reading, reciting, remembering, and reflecting on God's Word throughout your day.
Read today's Scripture aloud slowly.
This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.
Joshua 1:8
Scripture worth staying with
We read many things every day.
Hagah helps you slow down and spend a little more time with the Word before moving on.
Hagah (הָגָה) is a Hebrew word that can carry the sense of murmuring, speaking, pondering, or reciting.
In Joshua 1:8, Joshua is told to meditate on the Book of the Law day and night.
Hagah was created around that simple practice: Read. Recite. Remember. Reflect.
Not to consume more Scripture, but to stay with it.
The Hagah practice
Growl
Stay over the wordsBreak the verse into two or three smaller phrases.Repeat each phrase and place emphasis on different words.
Mutter
Carry the WordTake two short thoughts from the verse and keep returning to them throughout the day.
01
Make room for the Word.
Our days move quickly.
We scroll, consume, respond, and move on.
Hagah is a small invitation to do something different.
And to let Scripture remain with us beyond the moment we first read it.
02
Built as a practice, not a teacher.
I'm not here to teach.
I simply built a tool that helps me return to Scripture more intentionally, and decided to open it for anyone who might find the practice helpful too.
Hopefully, we can Hagah together.
One verse.
Stay with it a little longer
