Please help me with a search to find verses containing a word twice or more
(ie verses containing "Jesus" more than once)
All help much appreciated.
Hi Bob,
You can do the search in Greek or Hebrew with an English translation next to it using the Morphological Query in the Docs menu as follows:
You can use the Syntax search, but it is more complex. There may be a way to create a search string in English, but I am not aware of how you would do that.
A bit less complicated might be a bible search Jesus WITHIN 50 WORDS Jesus :
Agreed!!
A bit less complicated might be a bible search Jesus WITHIN 50 WORDS Jesus : Agreed!!
more complexity brings more precision - thus e.g. to cite the result somewhere in writing, I would suggest to at least go with the Greek lemma. Like <Lemma = lbs/el/Ἰησοῦς> WITHIN 50 WORDS <Lemma = lbs/el/Ἰησοῦς>
Comparing our results also shows the different boundaries that Logos Search employs: Bible Search has verse boundaries, so it doesn't matter if I change the 50 Words to 1000. Morph Search disregards verse boundaries - I think that's why you opted to go for only 10 Words segments, but still your first hit in Mt 1:25 has the second "Jesus" close, but in Mt 2:1.
Now verses and chapters aren't part of the original. If the task wasn't to find Jesus 2x in 1 verse, but Jesus twice within the same grammatical structure (~sentence), then one would need to go for Syntax Search.
This thread intrigued me so I wondered if I could construct a generic search that would pull all words that were repeated twice in a verse. I selected parts of speech to take "trivial" words (articles, prepositions, conjunctions, etc) out of the picture.
For some reason, this doesn't pull duplicates of "Jesus" even though SBLGNT codes his name as a noun. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I would like to work with Mike's Search. I am not up on the syntax search or the Greek versions.
Could someone please give me a full example? All help much appreciated.

P. S. I am going through the Syntax Search training. Lest I misuse anyone's time, it might be good to give me a day or two to get trained on this.
At that time, I may be able to ask more informed questions.
Thanx to all.
