I want to find Hapax legomena. According to Jewish Encyclopedia (www. JewishEncyclopedia.com) there are about 400 hapax legomena in the Bible.
Is there a method to find hapax legomena with Accordance?
or
How to find special words which appear two or three times in the Bible?

Yes, you can use the "Count" command, which you can either type in or find under the Search menu. For example, [Count 1] will return all hapax legomena while [Count 2-3] will find words occurring two or three times.

Note that the Range pop-up menu must be set to All Text in order to find true instances of Hapax legomena.

If I would like to find the hapaxes that only occur in Pastoral epistles, is it the correct way to do so?
[count 1] <and> [range 1Tim]
How about if I want to exclude the proper name?
Thank you.

Your search is correct, and you can qualify the COUNT thus:
[COUNT 1]@-[NOUN proper] <AND> [RANGE 1Tim]
to eliminate proper nouns, but it makes no difference in this range so I suppose 1Tim does not have any proper names that are also hapaxes.
[COUNT 1]@-[NOUN proper] <AND> [RANGE 1Tim]
to eliminate proper nouns, but it makes no difference in this range so I suppose 1Tim does not have any proper names that are also hapaxes.
