Stabnow Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 When I search in BHS-W4 for =tob-1 (the Hebrew word for "good") it returns 531 hits in 491 verses. If I create a construct and search for =tob-1 as noun or adjective I get 530 hits in 491 verses. If I search in another window for =tob-1 and not contained in that search I get nothing. How do I find that one case where tob-1 is not a noun or adjective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Shields Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 The problem appears to be in counting in Psalm 38:21. If you do a search for טוב and specify a [RANGE Ps 38] you will notice that two instances of טוב appear, but that the count is "3 hits Verse 1 of 1." Looking at the details in tabular form with a chapter break-down shows the same (incorrect) count. I don't know why it is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I cannot reproduce this problem however I define the range. Are you using the BHS-W4 release 4.1.4 dated Nov 04? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Shields Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 I have 4.1.3, so that may explain it. How can I get 4.1.4? Here's what I see. Note "3 hits" but only two highlighted occurances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Oops, my mistake. Release 4.1.4 is not released to the public, but there will be an upgrade available next month. I guess this is a bug because I agree that 4.3.1 does show 3 hits in this verse. You can ignore the discrepancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabnow Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Thanks, Martin and Helen. Good catch! How in the world did you find that error in Ps 38 -- process of elimination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Shields Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 How in the world did you find that error in Ps 38 -- process of elimination? Yes. I did the searches and brought up the details in table format so I could compare the count on each book. Once I found Psalms, I narrowed the search and compared chapters. It didn't really take too long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
