I'm studying Gen 1-3 at the moment.  God's voice and word seem central to this section, so I'm wondering: is there a way in Logos to work out how many verses/what proportion of the text involve God's speaking directly?  Yes, I can count the verses myself, but I'm trying to get to know Logos better...!  Thanks in anticipation....!

    This a problem that can be approached through the Syntax Search. Start a new search from the File menu. The default database is The Hebrew Bible: Andersen-Forbes.  Select a Segment from the "Add search term" prompt, and populate as below

    If you need more assistance look for Syntax Search Document in the Help (F1).

    Set your search range as Gen 1-3. The results show the speech word-by-word within each verse so you will have to count the verses yourself and then determine how many verses are in the first three chapters!

    Thanks for your help...!  You've persuaded me further towards an upgrade - no Syntax search in the Bible Study Library...
