TYA Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Can Accordance be used to either verify purported ELS (equidistant letter sequences) in Scripture, or even beyond just verifying them, could Accordance even be used to find such patterns of occurring letters? For example, I'm aware of the fact that the word torah is spelled out within the first five verses of Genesis, in which each of the consonants (t-v-r-h) is separated by 49 letters. Is there some kind of construct, macro, or whatever else to verify or help locate such patterns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I don't think so. Accordance basically functions on a Word basis not a Letter or Character basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan S Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 If you have access to a Mac and some basic regex skills, then you can verify it with this: https://darinfranklin.github.io/RegexForAccordance/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan S Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I was curious, so I tried it. I got 3 hits using this search: ת\w{49}ו\w{49}ר\w{49}ה\w{49} Gen 1:1 starting this the ת in בראשׁית. Gen 16:8 starting with the ת in וַתֹּאמֶר Gen 49:28 starting with the ת in וְזֹאת 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
