How do I use the Morph search to display ONLY the verses with one stem (conjugation)?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hello everyone,

I was trying to find all the Hebrew Bible verses with the Qal stem. I tried to use the query option using

morph.sesb.h:Va??????+S

However, this displays all the verses containing the Qal stem verbs and the other stems. I want to exclude verses that contain both Qal and the other stems in Hebrew; I want verses with Qal stems only. I called Customer service, but they were not able to help me. I have Logos 10 and the Biblia Hebraica St.

In short, how do I use the Morph search to display only the OT verses with one stem (conjugation)?

I appreciate your taking the time to read this!

I'm not sure that this is possible. I would love to be corrected if it is possible. Bur why would you want this?

I've not got the time to test but I would run two searches:

Run a search for Hebrew verbs with Qal stems
Run a search for Hebrew verbs not Qal stems
Merge the results taking only entries in search 1 but not in search 2

I believe you would need to create Passage Lists in the first two searches, then do the merge.

Is this what you are looking for?
morph.sesb.h:Va??????+S NOT morph.sesb.h:V[^a]??????+S
The first part of the query searches verses with Qal and the second, which the term NOT excludes, searches verses with any of the other stems.

Why are all my cross reference footnotes suddenly only in NASB, no matter what version of the Bible I’m in? I mainly use ESV, but when I click a cross reference footnote, it is in NASB.

Highlight Added Pop-up
