I'm continuing to read and study the original languages, reading a chapter a day in Old and New Testament. At this phase of my study, it would be helpful for me to get a word list of all the lemmas in a particular chapter, sorted by frequency in the whole Bible. That way, before I began reading, I could first study the words that I might not know, and familiarize myself with them. I could scan down the list until I got to the point where I knew most of the words, and then begin my reading.
Is this possible?
Here are some things I've tried:
- Concordance. If I run a concordance for a particular chapter (which also takes a surprisingly long time to be feasible for what I'm looking for!) the frequency count is based on the particular chapter only, so this doesn't work. If I do a concordance for the entire Bible, I can't filter for all the lemmas in a particular chapter.
- Important words. I thought Important Words had some kind of an algorithm to prioritize words that were unique to a particular chapter, which would have been useful to me. However, for the chapter I looked at, the "most important" word was a vav consecutive, which is not at all what I'm looking for.
- Reader's Edition. This gives the gloss in an interlinear only for words that are below a certain frequency. This is OK, but I don't always know the exact frequency cutoff that I want, and I would prefer a list of words sorted by frequency where I could scan for the words I don't know.
Any help would be appreciated!
