How do I do a Hebrew clause search for this?

Chris Garrett

Hi - I've read through all the Hebrew clause search help files and I can't narrow down this answer, but I hope it's an easy one. 

From 2 Chronicles 1:1 "the Lord his God was with him..." 

Searching for this clause in the Lexham Hebrew Bible:

Subject: God אֱלֹהִים   AND object: him הוּא  AND verb:????   since "was" is implied, and there is only a preposition עִם, I don't know how to search for an implied "was" verb. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!  

thanks,

Chris

Why choose "god" as Subject, rather than "Yahweh" (Lord). Also, "with him" is not the Object in the clause of 2 Chron 1:1? So I'm not sure a Clause search is best.

The implied verb is usually supplied in a translation. So I would try a Search like:

Lord  BEFORE 3 WORDS  (was,is) BEFORE 1 WORDS "with him" in the ESV (with Match case).

A simpler version (with spurious hits) is:

Lord  BEFORE 4 WORDS "with him"

You can try this Search in LHB, if you are familiar with Hebrew.
