I whakaputaina He Kupu Whakamārama mai i te Maehe 1898 ki te Tīhema 1898. Ko te etita a Minita Pēneti [Bennett], he minita Māori ia i te Hāhi Mihinare. I tīmataria He Kupu e Bennett, i runga hoki i te tautoko o te Hāhi Mihinare. I whakaputaina te pepa hei āwhina i ngā tāngata ki te whakamāori i ngā karaipiture, me te tino aro ki ngā tāngata he uaua mā rātou ki te whai wāhi atu ki ngā minita. I whakaputaina te putanga whakamutunga i raro i te taitara He Kupu Whakamārama i te marama o Tīhema 1898; nō taua wā i hurihia te ingoa ki Te Pīpīwharauroa (1899 – 1913).

He Kupu Whakamarama (Words of Enlightenment) was published from March 1898 to December 1898. The editor, Reverend Peneti [Bennett] was a Māori minister in the Church of England. He Kupu was initiated by Bennett and subsidised by the Church of England. The paper was published to assist people in interpreting the scriptures, especially those without ready access to ministers. The last issue published under the title He Kupu Whakamarama was December 1898; the newspaper then became Te Pipiwharauroa (1899-1913).
