A group for users of Logos Bible Software to discuss Syntax Search.
Follow- This group is for help with the advanced linguistic analysis search type called “Syntax Search” (https://ref.ly/logos4/Search?kind=SyntaxSearch). If you’re looking for how to enter Logos search terms (“search syntax”) in Bible, Book, or other general searches, visit the Logos Search group instead: https://faithlife.com/logos-search.Logos SearchA group for users of Logos Bible Software to discuss searching.faithlife.com
- Hi how can I do the following? How many wayyiqtol ("consecutive imperfect") clauses in Jer 38 contain an explicit subject (the subject is explicitly mentioned and not just part of the finite verb)?
- The easiest way is to do the following morph search, limiting the passage to Jeremiah 38: morph.h:V?W If you align the results, you will easily see which occurrences have an explicit subject.
- If you have the Andersen-Forbes Phrase Marker Analysis Bible you could also try the attached Syntax search, but the results are missing a few hits (you'll need to tweak the search a bit--I'm not that conversant with Hebrew).
- Thank you. Will try it
- In a broad Biblical sense, it's the established ordering, balance, and control of things by God, as opposed to chaos and disorder. It can be applied more narrowly to specific ways God has structured things in heaven, in creation, in the church, in the home, etc. It's applied in a lot of ways. The term has also been used in nonbiblical ways, such as the New Age, that have more to do with connecting, centering, and balancing ourselves with the universe and spiritual powers.
- REV. ANTHONY L. SMALL, SR., can we help you find anything in particular?
- How can I save a constructed syntax search? I know it is listed in the previous searches, but I like to save some constructed searches somewhere in Logos. Is this possible?

Mark-Jan Zwart, they're saved automatically and should show up in Docs menu (https://ref.ly/logos4/Documents).- Thanks, Phil Gons (Logos). They do indeed. I wasn't aware of that.
- Hi, I'm trying to find out if our english word "church" is origin and whether that is the better word to describe Christians?
- Michael may I ask, from what specific resource did you get the following information please? Thank you. "The English word "church" was derived from kyriakos meaning "belonging to the Lord" and historically, it is used of buildings rather than people".
- I was told that many years ago when I used to study in Israel along with some Bible translators, especially about "church" not being a translation of ekklesia and it would come up in discussions every so often. You can look up the etymology of the english word "church" here: https://www.etymonline.com/word/church#etymonline_v_11358
- Thank you Michael! I'll check it out.
- Hello there! I'm trying to find the following: the Hebrew verb נתן with a personal pronoun as its direct object and followed by a participle, like in Malachi 2:9 נָתַ֧תִּי אֶתְכֶ֛ם נִבְזִ֥ים How can I do this search in Logos? Thank you!
- I misspoke; there were five results using the syntax search: Gen. 42:30; Num. 8:19; Dt. 1:15; Ezek. 44:14; and Mal. 2:9. Yes, the syntax search was done in Logos 10, as long as you have all the resources necessary to perform it (I believe you need at least Logos 10 Gold).
- Thank you, Bob!
- You’re welcome, sir.
- Hi, I am trying to find all the occurences in Mark when Jesus speaks of his purpose - as he does for example in Mark 10:45 "to give his life as a ransom for many" - can you help me construct a search to do that? Thanks in advance
- person:Jesus SGNTSyntacticForce:"infinitive of purpose" This search will find every occurrence of Jesus with an infinitive of purpose (as marked in the SGNT). You will still need to go through each one to see if the infinitive is a purpose that Jesus was intending to fulfill.
- UPDATE: Try SGNTSyntacticForce:"infinitive of purpose" speaker:Jesus This will limit the results to places where Jesus is speaking.
- I just found something that I don't remember seeing in the past. In 2 Thessalonians 1:4 we read: ὥστε αὐτοὺς ἡμᾶς ἐν ὑμῖν ⸀ἐγκαυχᾶσθαι ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τοῦ θεοῦ The LSB renders this as: so that we ourselves boast about you among the churches of God. It is not often that you see two accusative personal pronouns in the same context. This is what Bill Mounce (Basics of Biblical Greek, chapter 12) calls the "Adjectival Usage" of the personal pronoun αὐτός. Mounce's text says: §12.11 When functioning as an intensive, αὐτός is usually in the nominative case and modifies the subject. What is happening here is that the intensive form of the pronoun αὐτός is found in the accusative case, but it is modifying the accusative subject of the infinitive ἐγκαυχᾶσθαι. I wanted to form some kind of a syntax search to find other instances where this use might be found in a case other than the nominative. I went to Cascadia Syntax Graphs, where this pronoun is identified as "pronoun, personal, third person, accusative, plural, masculine, intensive predicative." How could I search the NT for all the instances of the "intensive predicative" pronouns? I appreciate any help you can give me.

If you're looking for the intensive plus the emphatic, as is the case in 2 Thes 1:4, this morph search will get you part of the way there: morph.g:R?????P WITHIN 1 WORD morph.g:RP https://ref.ly/logos4/Search?kind=MorphSearch&q=morph.g%3aR%3f%3f%3f%3f%3fP+WITHIN+1+WORD+morph.g%3aRP&syntax=v2&documentlevel=verse&exactref=true&match=stem&in=raw%3aSingle%7cResourceId%3dLLS%3aSBLGNT Even better is this morph query document:
