Find words from one passage used in another


Martin Shields

Recommended Posts

This may have been answered elsewhere, but I wanted to ask if it is possible to find which words from one passage occur in another passage, preferable without having to enter each word in a search window! For example, I might want to find which words in Proverbs 2 appear in Proverbs 23 (I made that up, it may not be signficant!).

OK, to answer my own question :)

 

I think this works. Open one pane and do a search like this:

 

‏* ‎<AND>‏ ‎[RANGE prov 2]‏ 

Then open another and do a search like this:

 

 [HITS BHS-W4] <AND> [RANGE prov 22] 

Obviously the first one was named "BHS-W4" in the above.

 

Now I just need to figure out if it is possible to find the words in the second passage that do not appear in the first!

That's only a little more complicated:

 

*-[HITS BHS-W4] [RANGE prov 22]

 

meaning every word that is NOT a hit in the first window (reverse the direction for a Hebrew search).
