Accordance 8
THE WAIT IS OVER
The
release of Version 8.0 in May 2008 marks a major milestone in
Accordance by providing a Universal Binary version of the program for
Intel Macs. There are also new ways to customize the appearance of the
windows and the arrangement of the parallel panes. Powerful new search
features make it easy to find approximate phrases and allusions from
one text to another. Instant highlighting flags the corresponding word
between a tagged text and a key number translation allowing you to
immediately see how the word is translated. • $39 for users of version 7. • $49 for new users or earlier versions. As
always, purchase price of the program only is credited toward a primary
collection purchase or upgrade (Library, Scholar's, Jewish or Catholic). See for yourself: download the new movie demo or the free trial version. More Information
 The
Primary Collection DVD offers the ability to unlock all the material in
the Library and Scholar's collections, along with all the material
formerly on the Bible Unlock and Bible Reference CD-ROMs, together on
one convenient disc. Not only is there no longer any need to insert
similar-looking discs to install, but our new unified Intel-native
installer makes installation much easier. Rather than picking from a
long list of options, you simply enter the unlock codes you've
purchased, and Accordance automatically builds the list of packages and
modules to install.

A Grammar of Biblical Hebrew
For intermediate and advanced students of the Hebrew Bible, the chief reference grammars in English for the Hebrew language are Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar (abbrev. GKC; Oxford, 1909), Bruce K. Waltke and Michael P. O'Connor's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew Syntax (Eisenbrauns, 1990), and the newest edition of Paul Joüon and Takamitsu Muraoka's A Grammar of Biblical Hebrew (Pontifical Biblical Institute, 2006).
Apart from its value as a reference for looking up explanations for
difficult Hebrew forms one encounters in the text, the value of having
Joüon–Muraoka in one's library is evident from the number of times it
is cited as an authority in commentaries (e.g., 500x in WBCOT),
dictionaries (approximately 60x each in both HALOT and
Jenni–Westermann), and other reference works (90x in Waltke–O'Connor).
You can now look up those references conveniently within Accordance!
Besides reflecting the most up-to-date scholarship, Joüon–Muraoka is
also distinctive for its inclusion of scholarship on Biblical Hebrew
published in Modern Hebrew.
Like many Accordance tools, Joüon–Muraoka can be searched by
numerous fields (including the page number), greatly simplifying the
focus of one's queries. Rounding out the grammatical presentation are
paradigms, a subject index, and bibliography. J. P. Kang, Ph.D.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Fuzzy Searching
One
of my favorite features on Accordance 8 is the FUZZY command! It
enables you to search for a phrase and find approximate matches.
The
FUZZY command can be entered before a phrase to allow the number of
words specified to be dropped from the search. This helps you find
phrases that are similar but not identical. The numeral represents the
number of words that can be ignored (missing from or substituted) in
the phrase. The default numeral 1 can be replaced by any number up to
two less than the words in the phrase.
For example: entering "[FUZZY 2] give your bread to the poor" in the KJV finds 6 phrases, none of which are identical to the search phrase.
Fuzzy shortcut:
Selecting a phrase in the text, and pressing the shift key while
clicking the Search button or amplifying to any text, does a Fuzzy
search with the variable number determined automatically by the length
of the phrase.
