Part of speech & form

Other attributes

‘Exclude’ filters the matched word itself, not the whole verse. Words that don’t carry this attribute are also excluded. A search that only excludes values will match very broadly.

Each number is how many verses match with that option added to your current selection. Options that would return nothing are greyed out.

Word (optional)

Scope the morphology search to a single lemma — every match will share this Strong’s number. Not sure of the number? Find it in the Strong’s lexicon.

Passage

Needs a book. Leave To blank for a single chapter. Chapter numbers follow the tagged text (Tischendorf Greek).

Also require another construction in the same verse (optional)

Finds verses where both constructions occur — the second just has to appear somewhere in the same verse. This makes no claim the two are grammatically related or next to each other. The book, chapter, and word filters above apply to the whole verse.

Batch export — several queries, one file Seminary Student

Run up to 5 grammar queries and get one file, with each query’s own permalink, corpus, and license attached to its own section. One query per line — paste a /morphology permalink, or write the filters directly (lang=greek&pos=Verb&tense=Aorist&book=romans).

Each query is validated exactly as this page validates it, so a batch reproduces what /morphology shows. A query this page would refuse to answer is skipped, and the skip is written into the file. Repeated lines are run once. One batch carries at most 60,000 references in total — every search here is a full scan of the corpus, and this keeps one download from stalling the site for everyone else. If a batch reaches that limit the file says so, and says which query it stopped at.

Imperative — Expresses a command or request.

Morphology search can’t find a specific name (e.g. “Abraham”) — there’s no word-level English-to-original alignment. To find a specific name, look it up in the Strong’s lexicon or the Septuagint word index.

Morphology search doesn’t tell you who is speaking or who is addressed — check the verse.
