    Hi all, I'm looking for help with using syntax search in Hebrew. Context: When one clicks on a hebrew noun, and click on the word study selection, I get a screen which lists the grammatical relationships. In that grammatical relationshiops section it lists all the verbs that the noun is an object for, prepositional uses etc. This uses the Anderson Forbes resource. Am I able to do a syntax search which lists all the verses in which a given word is used as an object, have the search list (and highlight) the word in the original language (Hebrew) and then also list and hight the equivalent greek verse? Lastly, is there somewy in Logos, using syntax search to list all the verbs a given word is used with? This search would be similar to what the word study lists in its grammatical relationships section. anyhelp would be greatly appreciated!

      I'm trying to construct a TSKS (granville sharp) syntax search using the Lexham Syntactic Greek NT set. Any help would be appreciated, or if someone has already done this, please point me to it.

        If you don't want to build it, you could just use the built in Grammatical Constructions data set: Run a Precise Bible Search for this: grammaticalConstructions:"Granville Sharp" https://app.logos.com/search?case=ignore&engine=semantic&engineOverride=lexical&form=all&kind=bible&q=grammaticalConstructions%3A%22Granville+Sharp%22&ref=default&resources=topBible&source=SearchPanel&syntax=v2&view=passages

        I would be interested in designing this syntactic search (TSKS) as well to see its limitations for plural words.

        Philippe, back when Logos first released syntax searching (2006!) I wrote up something on Granville Sharp's rule and syntax searching: https://www.logos.com/media/blog/PDF/Granville%20Sharp%20Rule.pdf

      I would like to search for all NT Greek verses that have a present tense verb followed by a perfect participle. Ephesians 2:5 and 2:8 are examples. I would like to compare this pattern to any other verses.

        Sometimes Morph searches are easier than syntax searches...

        Perhaps you are looking for this? Based on SBLGNT Holmes in Cascadia Search. See the link here: https://flshare.net/o49nf3

        If you want to narrow Thomas's query to the present indicative and perfect participle, use this: https://flshare.net/a36oy9.

      I am trying a search where God is the subject of verbs within the Louw-Nida search domain 24. I tried a clause search, but it did not seem to accept LN. Is there a syntax search that would work for this — Subject: God of verbs within the LN domain 24?

      1. Mark Hoffman 4 months ago

        I'm not sure about a syntax search, but you could use this morph search: louwnida:24 AND lemma.g:θεός@NN That is looking for LN24 verbs AND when θεός / God is in the nominative, hence a potential subject. I get 66 hits in 30 verses, but a quick scan indicates that only Acts 7.2 and Heb 6.17 are what you want.

          I am looking for instances in which הִנֵּה is not clause-initial. Is it possible to undertake such a search with, say, the WIVU or A-F database?

          2. Thomas 8 months ago — Edited

            Click on "Share" in the search window on the right and then "Make document public". You will then receive a link. You can then download the file in Logos Documents. For your search I get 24 hits. But הִנֵּה is always at the beginning of the sentence there. Unfortunately, I cannot fully follow your search. The search normally begins with a "Sentence or Clause" and then you make further restrictions. This word is usually at the beginning of sentences and in direct speech. It also introduces subordinate clauses. Do you have a reference point for the search? Here's another search to test: (https://flshare.net/w53zq8)

            Thanks for showing how one creates a link. So this is (nearly) the search: https://flshare.net/r95yf8

            Your test (https://flshare.net/w53zq8) produces many clause-initial results. Cook and Holmstedt point out that הִנֵּה occasionally occurs in the middle of a clause that already has a verb which suggests that הִנֵּה is an interjection. This is the context for me looking for examples in which הִנֵּה is used inside a clause. I should construct a search for הִנֵּה inside clauses with verbs (excluding participles).

          how to search for references where Aaron is the subject of a verb of communication, including references where Aaron is not explicitly mentioned

          1. Bob Venem 8 months ago

            For a start, try this Clause search: subject:Aaron verb-sense:to speak

            thank you - that worked great

            Not exactly what you're looking for, but see also a Bible search for speaker:Aaron https://ref.ly/logos4/Search?kind=BibleSearch&q=speaker%3aAaron&syntax=v2&documentlevel=verse&exactref=true&match=stem&in=raw%3aTop%7cDataType%3dbible%7cResourceType%3dtext.monograph.bible%7cResultLimit%3d1%7cTitle%3dTop%2520Bible%2520(NIV)&viewkind=passages&engine=Lexical
