BHS text consonants only

David J. Sigrist

Is there any way to display the BHS (or any other Hebrew text [preferably Masoretic]) without vowels or accent marks in Logos 4? In other words, is there a way on Logos 4 to just view the consonants?

I believe when this question was asked before, the closest anyone could get was to use the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear and turn off everything except the lemma.

Or use The Parallel Aligned Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Texts of Jewish Scripture (aka LXX/MT Parallel Bible) and turn off everything except the Masoretic Text line.

It seems there would have to be a separate resource created for a non-pointed version of the text, since the vowels are actually characters in the surface text (if you copy from BHS and paste into Word they come over, and you'll see that they can be deleted individually). Turning them on/off would be possible but slow to implement. It would be akin to asking Word to show me an English document with all the vowels hidden.

I found out from another thread that there is a resource available in Logos format that has unpointed text: The Parallel Aligned Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Texts of Jewish Scripture. I should have this in my library to check it out, because I've got Portfolio, but it's not there. Hmm, I will have to make a call to Customer Service to find out what's up.

EDIT: Oops, Todd got there before I finished my post as I was off exploring other threads and logos.com. But at least I included a link to the resource which he didn't. [:)]

Yeah, unfortunately I don't like the format of the The Parallel Aligned Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek Texts of Jewish Scripture because of all those word separators and the backslashes in the words separating the prepositions and whatnot.  The backslashes make it impossible to use right-click to look up a word.

An option to turn off points in the regular BHS would be welcome (or a separate unpointed resource).
