The word "holy" is repeated three times. Once in Isaiah and the other in Revelation. I was wondering if any other word or phrases are repeated three times in succession. How would I search for that?
Revelation 8:13 three-peats "Woe" or "Terror" depending on your translation
The Morph Query Builder is perfect for this. Morph Query documents can't be shared yet, so you'll need to rebuild it yourself.
This example shows same lemma three times in a row. Switch to root, if you prefer. Or change the number of occurrences.
You'll have to build one for the GNT and one for the Hebrew Bible using the same basic approach.
If you match on lemma, there are only three in the Greek NT:
But the first probably doesn't qualify, since there's a sentence break between the first and the second.
In the Hebrew Bible there are eight:
Here they all are in a passage list document.
Rev 4:8 and Is 6:3 with holy, holy, holy were the only two I knew about. Jer 22:29 land, land, land and Rev 8:13 woe, woe, woe was the kind of thing I was looking for. I'm not sure how the others fit what I was looking for. I wanted the same word in succession three times. Thanks for the quick response.
Perfect. Phil Gons pointed out Jer 22:29 in the OT with land, land, land. Thanks for the quick response.
Interesting how you did this. I have the Gold edition of Logos 8. I don't know how to duplicate what you did. Perhaps it's not available in 8. How did you get to that screen? I typed in "Morph Query Builder" in the search engine and got a Logos Help note that it was in the Document Menu. I went to Docs and did a search but did not find it.
In the Hebrew Bible there are eight: Exodus 21:12 Numbers 35:21 Isaiah 6:3 Jeremiah 22:29 Ezekiel 21:32 Ezekiel 42:13 Ezekiel 45:3 Daniel 2:37
Syntax Search likewise finds these eight verses plus Jeremiah 7:4 phrase repeated three times
Keep Smiling [:)]
Modified Syntax Search to look for Triplicates (Three-Peats) of one, two, OR three lexemes that finds nine verses (no triplicates of three lexemes)
