Can this Hebrew search be done?

I am trying to do a search in the ESV utilizing the Interlinear part. I want to search for this exact pattern:

[any noun]; preposition "ha"+[any noun]; preposition "we/u"+[any noun]; preposition "ha"+[any noun]

I tried to educate myself by looking into some logos tutorial videos, but i didn't find this question answered. Can it be done? Maybe with another resource? I will also want to do a similar search in Greek (utilizing lemma or not), any better luck there?

And, another minor thing: Can i export the results of a bible search in a list (like in e-sword where i can export the Scripture References only, or the whole verses, whatever i like)? i wanted to use the "Copy Bible Verses" tool, but i can't link the search box to anything...

thanks for any help in advance.

This search cannot be done with the ESV (or any other) Reverse Interlinear; these resources disrupt the original word order and are unsuitable for complex Morph searches.Complex searches call for a Morph or Syntax search on an original language Bible. I'd be happy to help you construct a search, but it would be helpful if you could post a reference that already has this construction. EDIT: I ask because I don't recognize "ha" or "we/u" as any transliteration for any preposition. "ha" would normally indicate the article and I'm not certain what "we/u" is at all unless you mean a noun with a waw attached..... in any case examples would be helpful.

The ability to export a list of Bible verses (from a search or otherwise) is still in Beta testing. Whenever 4.0c is released it will be widely available.

Hello Kevin, thanks for your offer. Since i do not know of any passage that contains the structure i am looking for, let us turn to an NT example of something rather similar, that would most likely show me how to do the OT thingy. John 19:19 contains the inscription on the cross, which reads "Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὁ βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἰουδαίων". i would be looking for a passage containing four nouns and the articles "ὁ", "ὁ", "τῶν", all in the same order. I know very little about grammar, but i think i would like to do that search as a regular search, and then maybe as a lemma search (making "τῶν" "ὁ").

First, let me commend http://wiki.logos.com/Search_HELP for helpful information on searching.

A simple search that merely gets sequence would be @N BEFORE @DN BEFORE @DN BEFORE @DG [one presumes that an article would be paired with a noun as a shortcut] or if you want to represent the specific interval in this @N BEFORE 2 WORDS @DN BEFORE 2 WORD @DN BEFORE 2 WORD @DG

In Greek (and Hebrew for that matter) you don't need to use the lemma for the article, the morphology should be enough.
