I'm wanting to identify all the instances in Exodus where God gives a command. I know how to do a general Bible search (speaker:person:God INTERSECTS command:*) and how to do a morph search (morph.h:V?M), but how do I bring these together?
Does propositionalOutline:Command INTERSECTS speaker:God help?
Does this answer your question? Change the last dropdown in the selection string to Exodus.
No, because the morph search for imperatives in Exodus only gives 132 total.
You are equating "giving a command" to "using the imperative"? I suspect what you want is:
(speaker:person:God INTERSECTS command:*) AND (morph.h:V?M INTERSECTS speaker:person:God)
which requires it be tagged a command and be in the imperative i.e. omit commands not in the imperative. But you may want
(speaker:person:God INTERSECTS command:*) OR (morph.h:V?M INTERSECTS speaker:person:God)
which requires that it be labeled a command or that it be in the imperative regardless of tagging i.e. labeled commands plus imperatives.
Some commands are made without an imperative verb. For example the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20) uses negated imperfects rather than imperatives.
I don't understand your objection here. Are you saying that you want all imperative verbs + what Logos tags as commands? What isn't just what Logos tags as commands sufficient?
Commands in the Bible are important because they often address in detail what God demands of his people. Take for example Jesus’ reiteration of two commandments from the Old Testament in Matthew 22:37, 39: “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind … You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The Commands in the Bible dataset provides an annotation of all the commands in the Bible based on the underlying original language. The command types include (see the References section below for more information concerning the source of the command types):• Advice• Command• Curse• Invitation• Offer• Permission• Prohibition• Request• Warning• Well-wish• WishJeremy Thompson, Commands in the Bible Dataset Documentation (Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2017).

Jack and MJ, thanks for your engagement.
You are correct that I am unnecessarily narrowing my understanding of a command. However, when I use the "speaker:person:God INTERSECTS command:*" search, I am getting definite instances of speech that are certainly not commands. The very first search result (Ex 3.4) labels "Moses! Moses!" as God giving a command, and there are a number of other false results. So I am looking for a more exact search.
Thanks, Graham, that seems to do a better job.
Hi, I have purchased the PRO version of Logos and am now wondering which library would be the best to buy. I am a writer and blogger, and I teach scripture, including devotional, topical, exegesis and expository methods. I am looking for resources that will help me delve deep into scripture and enhance my research and…
What will happen when I send a sermon to word if I don't have Microsoft Word?
Hello, I have tried everything to delete some (actually: the majority) of the book in my library as I never ordered or asked for them. However, there seems to be no way to do that, neither in the desktop nor the online or the mobile app which to me doesn't seem very user friendly, no? Would anyone know how to do it or is…
I was made aware that there is approx. 4000 resources of this nature within Logos- "Sexual Magic for the Solo Witch", if this is true- then selling Logos to a secular entity will result in it's demise.
Hi. I am trying to use visual filters on the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible, but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is a screenshot of the filter: On the LHI, I can click visual filters, but no options actually come up to apply one. Thus, the relevant words aren't marked with color. Any insight here?
