• I am confused by the pronunciation of sin and shin by the translator in the "Hebrew Alphabet Tutor" . It is invariably the opposite of what is taught. Is there some rule that relates to this or is this sort of a different dialect?

      1. This search: lemma:עֶ֫רֶב:1 NEAR lemma:בַּ֫יִן returns one hit for Lev 23:5. This search: lemma:עֶ֫רֶב:1 AND lemma:בַּ֫יִן returns 11 hits, which is what I was looking for. Just for my understanding, why doesn't the first search return the same 11 hits? (version is Logos 7)

        1. The "Detailed Search Help" article in the Logos Bible Software Wiki defines NEAR as “within 48 characters” — does that help?

        2. No, it's definitely within 48 characters. I think there is some other issue.

        3. Also, the NEAR search returns correctly when searching LHB. But not with ESV or LEB.

      2. Ps 138:1 (before the gods). Why is the word "before", listed as a noun, common, construct, in the morph, when it appears to be an adverb?

        1. I know that this is an old post but I was just browsing the list and saw this. Bob, the answer has to do with Hebrew grammar. נֶ֫גֶד is in "construct" with אֱלֹהִ֣ים. Only nouns can be in construct. Hope this helps.

      3. In 2 Kings 25:8 עֶ֥בֶד מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל is a definite construct expression but often translated as "a servant of the king" rather than "the servant of the king" (eg. LEB).  Why is that?

        1. I would love to see a whole lot of posts like this one.

      4. I have a problem with some videos with the audio during the course, How can I get some help or advice for this  issue? Thanks for help. LA151

        1. I can help you. Can you describe the issues you are having?

        2. The video keep going but I don't listen the audio for a while in some parts of the video, But this issues doesn’t happens in all videos, only in a few of them.

        In segment #87, Dr. Heiser talks about לְמַעַן (lĕmaʿan) as a conjunction.  This is how it is categorized in the example grammar as well.  However, the ESV reverse interlinear calls it a preposition in both verses Dr. Heiser cites.  I'm confused.

        1. It looks like the reverse interlinear always has that term tagged as a preposition. That word can function as either a preposition or a conjunction as the link to the Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar indicates. Hebrew dictionaries also point to its use as both a conjunction or preposition. I'm not sure why the reverse interlinear never tags it as a preposition.

      6. Is there any way in Logos 6 to construct a Visual Filter for Construct Pairs? Believe that was possible in Logos 5, but cannot find a way in 6. There is n nothing about it in LA-151.
