searching

In Matthew 7:6, Jesus says not to give that which is holy to the dogs.

I want to look for any other time the word holy is used in that way.

The morphology tags it as an accusative. Any case can work.

any thoughts?

I will leave my email lacraig1@sbcglobal.net

just send a blank email if you respond here. Logos doesn't tell me, and I won't check enough

thank you

Your closest match is likely in the OT ... Lev 19:8, which is a match in the LXX. Whether indeed that was Jesus' reference? The other (non-match) but jewish-culture, is in Acts where Simon sought 'the power'.

You could try a morph search with this string "@D BEFORE 1 WORDS lemma:ἅγιος@J"

A Syntax search would refine the results further but is more difficult to set up

I want to look for any other time the word holy is used in that way.

That is where "holy" is the object and "dogs" is indirect object. And it is the only passage that satisfies that criteria in a NT Syntax Search

A Clause Search for object-lemma:ἅγιος indirect-object:ANY gives 6 other results.

object-lemma:קָדוֹשׁ indirect-object:ANY gives 18 results in the OT.

You can judge whether used "in that way".
