Is there a way to find out how many times a specific word appears in each book of the Bible?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I know about charts that show this information, but those are only available as images. I'm looking for text-based results that I can work with - for example, showing "Genesis: X times, Exodus: Y times" and so on.

I'd like to get actual numerical data in text format rather than just visual charts. Are there any tools, websites, or software that can provide word frequency counts broken down by individual Bible books(even better by chapters) in a searchable or copyable text format?

Hello @Jin Chul Seo hmm...does this help?

Search in Bible > Click Analysis tab

Group by : Reference column

Collapse All or Summary View

There's a function to Print/Export that can save as Excel file, which contains the raw data to work on.

I've only played around with it a couple times so maybe there's more settings for this to make it more what you want, but a Word List (Documents—>New—> Word List) will give you a count of all the Lemma's.

Here is the book of Genesis.

Also, with the word list, you can create a word list of two different passages, and them merge them to ONLY see what words occur in both.

So for example, you could create a word list of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy each on their own, and then merge them to only see what words occur in all the books.

Using the chart function of the bible search is another useful way,
