Awhile back in the Logos newsgroups, someone asked this question:
I am trying to do a search of the Greek where you have a controlling preposition followed by two nouns joined by a conjunction. I am sure it can be done, but I am not experienced enough with searches to do it.
A couple of examples might help you understand what I am trying to accomplish. In John 3:5 you have EX (εξ) being the controlling preposition followed by UDATOS KAI PNEUMATOS (υδατος και πνευματος) the two nouns UDATOS (υδατος) and PNEUMATOS (πνευματος) joined by a conjunction KAI (και).
This example is one of those things that is just easier to explain in the context of a video than in writing. So I shot a video—watch out, it clocks in at over 15 minutes—to show how I worked through the problem.
Click the image below to launch the video in a new Window, or download it and save it for later.
Thanks, Rick. We want more syntax videos!
On a Mac the video is black with only sound. Same thing if I download the video. Any way to record it so Mac people can see it too without running an emulator?
Try the free Flip4Mac WMV player.
Awesome. Keep up the Bible nerdery. I love it!
Rick,
thanks very much for this...keep 'em coming!!
