Construct for Nominal Infinitive Absolutes


Gary Pauley

Recommended Posts

I am trying to use the contruct search to list the nominal infinitive absolutes in Genesis. It seems I should be able to figure this out...but it's not working. Any hints?

Would you clarify what you mean by "nominal infinitive absolute"? (It would be useful if you included one example of what you're looking for as well.)

I am sorry, I did not mean IA, I meant nominal hendiadys (doing too many things at once!). I am trying to find instances analogous to עִצְּבוֹנֵ֣ךְ וְהֵֽרֹנֵ֔ךְ  in Gen. 3:16 in Genesis. My search does not pull up Gen. 3:16, so I clearly don't have the right formula working.

Your [within] statement doesn't allow for the pronominal suffix (it counts as 1)

This might provide better results and I would consider changing the second within to 1-2 to allow for the article.
