Brian Phillips Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm planning to go through a 1st year biblical hebrew course starting later this year. But as of now, I don't know one iota (sorry, bad language pun). Neither do I know anything about the various texts. Does it make a difference which of these syntax modules I purchase? I already have both of the Hebrew texts but neither of the syntax add-ons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I purchased all of them in seminary (HMT-W4, ETCBC, and A-F) so I'd be covered. My recommendation (if you want to save money) is ask your Hebrew professor which one the professor would recommend. That way you're tracking along with your professor. In general, HMT-W4 is going to be one of the easiest to use, ETCBC is going to be one of the most widely-used, and A-F is also popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbcvida Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I am still waiting for a webinar or someone to demonstrate how to use the Anderson Forbes database in a real world example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I still need to do one. Now that I'm done with my PhD program, I need to spend some time brushing up on A-F and either produce a video on it or a webinar. Which format would be the most useful to you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Sounds good. Would a live webinar or pre-recorded video be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love live webinars, but I'm rarely available to follow them. For me, the most important thing, regardless of whether it's live or pre-recorded, would be 1) to show by specific examples how the database can help in nuts-and-bolts exegesis and 2) a variety of examples that users could construct in real time and use as a basis to go further. Thanks Nathan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Sounds good! Let me do some digging into this and see what I can come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Cobb Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Thank you Brian. The things I found these videos to be missing is what I said in another post: "specific examples how the database can help in nuts-and-bolts exegesis and […] a variety of examples that users could construct in real time and use as a basis to go further." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nathan Parker Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 By the way, as I look into this, are there any specific passages or sections of the OT you want me to focus on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but I not familiar with the expression 'nuts-and-bolts'. But, I agree that it would be good if we had a video with different scholars/experts at Oak Tree Accordance showing us how they use the syntactical databases. This video on the ETCBC showing an interesting search might be of interest to you (if you haven't already seen it) Edited September 23, 2023 by Brian K.

Rick55 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 (edited) More ideas using construct in greek and hebrew. It would be great to see you go more in depth with construct using A-F would be great. Exploring search results with syntax and greek/hebrew construct. More ways to get search results using construct with the Greek New Testament. Edited September 25, 2023 by Rick55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More ways to get search results using construct with the Greek New Testament. Regarding the already posted A-F I also agree. I've watched it multiple times and while it's helpful - it still left me a bit unsure how to get the most out of the new construct using A-F.

I already have both of the Hebrew texts but neither of the syntax add-ons. MT-ETCBC with the syntax module is what I use the most and recommend. The A-F Syntax database is a fun. It also has it's own glossary, thus they are not the same and searching can be easier in A-F because of the added family and semantics. I still recommend MT-ETCBC first because you will become more accurate in your hebrew study. A-F is a nice addition once you become more comfortable Hebrew grammar. I do not own hmt-w4.
