Words of YHWH in Red?

Updated Nov 20, 2024 by Jason Stone (Logos)

Is there anyway to visually filter all the words spoken by YHWH, beginning from Gen 1:3?

To achieve the same effect as switching "Use Red Letter" on/off in Program Settings to mark the words of Christ in red, except that it's the words of YHWH now?

I don't think so. Here is an option you can do. This idea has been tossed around before. If you could do it, it would be a drain on your computer while it loaded it up. This doesn't get every reference. Click on to enlarge.

Hmmm ... Can see why it won't catch every reference. As well as why this may nevertheless be the next best workaround.

Thanks, Jerry.

You can filter His words if you love Hebrew and have Andersen-Forbes Analyzed Text. The filter can be divided into many types:

And the Bible Search query will look like:-

etc.

Thanks Dave! This *** REALLY *** takes things to the next level (for me, at least) !

Yes, I have AFAT, and managed to perform the search successfully. But it seems that this only works when searching the AFAT, not any other Bible. Trouble is I don't read Hebrew.

Is there anyway that I can search AFAT, and map the results (visual filter, etc.) to an English Bible, or even an interlinear? Thanks again.

You can construct a Passage List for each type of Divine speech but then you have to highlight the words using a Morph Search like:-

@N, @V, @R, @A, @P etc

so it covers all parts of speech for the Hebrew morphology in a Reverse Interlinear. Use the Passage List instead of "All Passages".

Note that some words of a verse may not be divine speech.

OK ... Passage List done. Pretty neat. Thanks, Dave.

But is there any way to search for "all text enclosed within inverted commas" within the Passage List, instead of the Morph Search?

Jerry, this is a separate matter from the original post, but ...

I noticed from your screenshot that you have a "elo" superscripted beside every occurrence of the word "God". I presume that indicates "Elohim", and that you did that by way of visual filtering. (I'm guessing you have the other Divine Names of God superscripted accordingly as well).

I'm just learning how to use Visual Filters, and so far, I haven't seen superscripting as a formatting option in the Visual Filters. So, how did you do that?

Thanks.

Hi Theophilus.

Superscripts are a formatting option in highlights. The highlights are then used by the visual filter.

Hope this helps

Thanks, Graham, for the prompt answer. I'm not sure I understand, though.

I've just checked the highlighting options. They are exactly the same formatting options as visual filters. I don't find superscripting. Is this a new feature on beta versions only? Regret too that I also don't understand how "highlights are then used by the visual filter".

I don't need the answer instantly, but would really appreciate it if someone could give me some step-by-step instructions for visual filter newbies on how to do what Jerry did above with the superscript-formatted visual filters. Or point me to a wiki page that can help me do that. Thanks.

Yes, here is a screen shot.

Thankful for discussion that provided visual filter modification idea (change font color near some words):
