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 (Masoretic Hebrew).

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.

Part of speech & form — second construction

Where these forms appear

Counts are distinct verses.

Torah 3,990 verses · 29% of matching verses · 1.1× baseline
Former Prophets 3,099 verses · 22% of matching verses · 1.2× baseline
Latter Prophets 3,201 verses · 23% of matching verses · 1.1× baseline

“Baseline” compares each section’s share of the 13,913 matching verses to that section’s share of the Hebrew Bible by verse count. Above 1× means this form is more concentrated here than in the text overall; below 1×, less. Counts are distinct verses in the Masoretic Hebrew text.

Verse text shown in the World English Bible for context. Each match’s Hebrew form is shown with its reference; the English is not keyword-highlighted, since the data carries no word-level English alignment.

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.

Particle — A short function word — article, negation, interrogative, the sign of the direct object, and the like.

The Noun type facet filters proper, common, and gentilic nouns, but 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.

Conjunction: A joining word (e.g. “and,” “but”) linking words or clauses.
Noun: A naming word — a person, place, thing, or idea.
Particle: A short function word — article, negation, interrogative, the sign of the direct object, and the like.
Preposition: A relational word (e.g. “in,” “to,” “from”) governing a noun.
Pronoun: A word standing in for a noun (“he,” “this,” “who”).
Verb: An action or state-of-being word.

Common: A common noun — a general class of person, place, or thing (“king,” “city,” “water”), not a specific name.
Proper: A name of a specific person, place, or people (e.g. Abraham, Zion, Israel).
Gentilic: A noun naming a member of a people, tribe, or region of origin (e.g. an Israelite, a Moabite).

Qal: The basic, simple active stem — the plain form of the verb (“he wrote”).
Niphal: Usually the simple passive or reflexive of the Qal (“he was written”).
Piel: An intensive or resultative active stem.
Pual: The passive counterpart of the Piel.
Hiphil: The causative active stem (“he caused / brought about”).
Hophal: The passive counterpart of the Hiphil (“he was caused to…”).
Hithpael: The reflexive or reciprocal stem (the subject acts on itself).
Qal Passive: An archaic passive of the Qal, preserved in a few forms.
Polel: A stem of hollow/geminate roots functioning like the Piel — intensive active.
Polal: The passive counterpart of the Polel.
Hithpolel: The reflexive counterpart of the Polel.
Pilpel: A reduplicated intensive stem of two-letter or hollow roots.

Sequential Imperfect: An imperfect with prefixed waw — the standard past-narrative form (waw-consecutive imperfect).

Participle Active: A verbal adjective expressing ongoing or characteristic action (“writing / one who writes”).
Participle Passive: A verbal adjective expressing action received (“written”).
Infinitive: A verbal noun — OSHB splits these into Absolute and Construct, and this option matches both.
Infinitive Absolute: An unbound verbal noun, often intensifying or standing in for a finite verb.
Infinitive Construct: A bound verbal noun, frequently with prepositions (“to write / in writing”).
Cohortative: A first-person volitional form expressing wish or resolve (“let me / let us write”).
Jussive: A third- or second-person volitional form expressing wish or command (“let him write”).

Absolute: The independent form of a noun, not bound to a following word.

2nd Person: The one addressed (“you”).
3rd Person: The one spoken about (“he / she / it / they”).
