This is one type of search I don’t think Logos can do at the moment. The results will be displayed in the search window, with the number of occurrences at the bottom. You should get 39 hits in 37 verses. Click “ OK,” which will close this pop up window and enter your search terms into the WTM box, and then click “ go.” If you run the search with nothing in this box, you will get results for all words that have 2ms pronominal suffixes attaches.ĥ. (3) In the “Match the following spec in WTT” box type כָה* | This tell the program that we only want to find occurrences of the pronominal suffix where it is spelled plene. “2ms” specifies the person, gender, and number of the pronoun we are looking for (second person, masculine gender, singular number).

In each case, the asterisk means “anything.” The plus sign (+) indicates that the symbols you are going to type to the right are “secondary codes.” That is, they are morphological information about the suffix attached to the word. (2) In the “Morph” box type | The sign is the way you indicate that the symbols you are going to type correspond to Hebrew or Greek morphological tags. (1) In the “Word” box type an asterisk (*) | This tells the program that the pronominal suffix can be attached to any word. Three boxes in the window that pops up are important for our search. Double-clicking the “WTM” box will open a pop-up where we will type the specifics of our search.Ĥ. Turning on “Vowels” will allow us to specify exactly what we want the 2ms pronominal to look like (כָה). Now that the GSE window is open, double-click on (1) the greyed-out word “Vowels” at the bottom of the screen and (2) the box containing only the letters WTM. Click the blue magnifying glass on the toolbar to open the GSE.ģ. My tab titles (e.g., Hm*) might look a little different than yours, but that will not matter as long as you type “wtm” and press enter.Ģ. In the command line of the search window, type the letters “wtm” and press “enter” this will ensure that when you open the GSE you will be searching the morphological database of the Hebrew Bible. With the GSE you can quickly and easily search two databases at the same time: the morphologically tagged text and the “surface text.” By “surface text” I mean the text as you see it in a print Bible.ġ. To answer the question above, we need to find (1) every word with a 2ms pronominal suffix attached to it and (2) diplay only those instances where the pronominal suffix is spelled כָה- rather than ךָ. Recognizing this as a relatively rare form, I wondered, “How many times is the 2ms pronominal suffix spelled plene in the Hebrew Bible?” BibleWorks makes it simple to answer this question with their Graphical Search Engine (GSE). Here we see the fuller form, כָה-, a form which is found frequently in the Qumran scrolls.
The 2ms pronominal suffix is usually written ךָ- in the Hebrew Bible. In Genesis 10:19 one finds the form בֹּאֲכָה two times. This post illustrates how BibleWorks 9 makes constructing complex morphological searches easy.
