5-6 - the number in the box indicates the relative reading demand (on a scale of 1-9) of the article to be opened. The higher the number the more the article assumes of the reader; 8-9, e.g., assumes that the reader knows Greek or Hebrew. 5 represents a high-school level of reading ability, the assumed level of most of our audience. While upper-end articles are far fewer, they are included because ALBERITH will not assume that its target-audience (lay-preachers) are not bold or intelligent enough to work hard in their learning.
