Search for "Thus says Yahweh of Hosts" in Old Testament and Jeremiah

Brian Leathers

Fascinating search results for the phrase "Thus says Yahweh of hosts" first for the OT, 76 hits:

Then for the book of Jeremiah, 50 hits:

I had no idea that this particular phrase appeared in Jeremiah 50 out of the 76 times that it is used in the OT. That is pretty cool. Something worth studying in Jeremiah.

Thanks for sharing! 

The expressing אֲשֶׁר֩ הָיָ֨ה דְבַר־יְהוָ֤ה (to whom the word of the lord existed/occured/happend to) something you also might find interesting to search for and the following peculiar anthropomorphic expressing וַיְהִ֥י דְבַר־יְהוָ֖ה אֵלַ֥י לֵאמֹֽר (and the word of Lord occured to me saying) only appears in three books of the Hebrew.
