Some errors in Clause tagging?

If I run a clause search for verb-lemma:ברא.1 AND object:ANY ANDNOT subject:God, I should see every time the verb ברא is used transitively, and God is NOT the subject. i.e., I shouldn't get any results. :)

Three results are returned: Isaiah 4:5; 45:8; and 57:19. 

As best I can tell all three of these are tagging errors. I think that in each case <Person God> is the subject of the verb ברא within the clause. In Isaiah 4:5 and Isaiah 45:8 it is very explicit:

4:5            וּבָרָ֣א יְהוָ֡ה

45:8         אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בְּרָאתִֽיו

In 57:19, it is implicit, with the subject explicitly named in 57:15. But given that the <Person God> tagging takes into account implicit subjects, it should also be marked as subject God I believe.

    Bump as there has been no response

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
