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)?

  1. 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.

  2. 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).

  3. Thank you. Will try it
