Comparing Language in Different Passages

Hey Everyone,

 

I don't know if this is where I would post this or not.  I have L4mac, and I am trying to figure out the best way to compare language in 2 different passages.  What I am looking for is some way to find the all Hebrew words that present in Psalm 45 and also present in Psalm 44.  I then need to look at all the words present in Psalm 45 and also in Psalm 46.  I would also proceed to then do the same for Psalm 43 and 47, looking for any grammatical and vocabulary-based relation to 45. 

There must be a better way than for me to do a word search one-by-one for each word in Psalm 45!  Please help!

 

Thanks!

Walter

  • One idea - morph search in Psalm 43-47 - analysis - group by Hebrew Lemma - collapse lines with 1 result:

    I'm anticipating this type of analysis will become easier when Logos adds the promised Vocabulary and Word Lists.

    Until then the Analysis view that KS4J showed you should be able to export to a spreadsheet (it can in the Windows version so I expect that its there in Mac too) and then you can use a spreadsheet program's tools to find values (words) that match and those that are unique.

    Thanks guys, this was very helpful for my work.  For some reason, my results don't look quite like the picture, but that may just be a L4Mac thing.

     

    One more question: is there a better way to collapse 1 result words than to go through and collapse each one by hand?
