I reinstalled BW7 after the results from an ASE search weren't registering in the Results pane. Now I have version 7.0.012g. I need version 7.0.015y to get the option flag for the Israeli keyboard....

We have been trying, and will continue to try, to license the Biblical DSS
Dear Glenn, Try no more! I'm willing and eager to see my reconstructions of the Samuel scrolls in BibleWorks.

If I had...

This thread is degenerating from a "Non-Bible Works discussion" to a forum for matters that touch the core of a program that claims to deliver the Biblical text. I have the Samuel scrolls...

This is a fun discussion.
The Dead Sea Scrolls - at least the Samuel scrolls - aren't fun. They're a big pain in the b---, as Cross found it.
If, your this is the type of Bible Study you(plural) do...

Dear BK,
My responses are interleaved with your text (in red):
Rashi's comentary on the Tanach( any edition of the Mikraot Gedolot )
Rashi simply quotes the Targum, which says "And the lad was...

Four times נער appears in the qal, two of them intransitively. At Isa 33:9 it means "decay", and at Jer 51:38 it means "roar" - so BW 7. I don't see any support for "be a kid" and especially not...

1 Samuel 1:24-25 says in the Hebrew: "(24) And she brought him up with her after she weaned him with 3 steers, one ephah of flour and a flask of wine; and she brought him to the house of the Lord in...

Dear Brian,
So it says, "Search in all the laws and code in Judaism, and don't rely on my words!" I went from Psalms to Jonah and to John. That's all the laws and code I know. Are you saying John...

Dear B.K.,
Since the Hebrew postscript following your message says roughly "Ignore what I just said, and search the Law!" I'm doing just that. The discussion about "dregs" started when my pastor...

We had a guest speaker in church, who spoke about Jonah; and I was reminded of a previous discussion, in which Adelfos raised the valid question: "If the Hebrew Bible is inerrant - as you maintain -...

How do I edit a previously posted message, Mark? A good time to make amends will be at the celbration of K--'s ministry next Friday at 7 in the Sunday School building. Since K--'s specialty is...

I guess you're right, guys. Pastors have a lot more on their minds than making perfect sermons. Bible Works is for scholars - and the timkerers with maps and flash cards - not for the church pew. ...

I thought so, too. His name is Mr. Ken McHeard, and the email is ken@1stpreschurch.org. I guess he meant to say, "The difference between aorist imperative and present imperative is lost in English...

I snuck the laptop in for an evening service and sat inconspicuously in the first row. The tall pastor standing at the elevated podium would never notice the small laptop cover jutting...

Dear Sansom,
As for the annoyance of fellow worshippers at my laptop - it may have been all imagined. Certainly no one said anything, and the pastor was all smiles in the narthex. In any case, if...

If Adelfos objects, "Why are you confusing Jonah 2:9 with John 2:9? Apart from the similarity of the book-names the two have nothing to do with each other", let him examine the facts. That the...

That's why I began the thread with the question "Is it ethical (to use Bible Works in Church)?" Adelfos' point: "That's 34 versions of multiple translators who agree with me and your pastor and who...

Bibleworks a "video game"? Hmmmm. What game are you playing? Russian roulette? I did keep my mouth shut. Until now. The problem with Psalm 130:6 is that it's elliptical. Adelfos and the pastor want...

Hey, Ingo, you've got an idea!
The pastor has his laptop on the pulpit and spends his time pacing back and forth between the two screens on either side of the apse (most churches have them for...

Dear Adelfos,
The Hebrew of the verse (Psalm 130:6) is obscure. The pastor thought he had a nice little uplifting psalm to spill out and overlooked the pitfall. By the way, the Ge'ez (ancient...

Dear Adelphos,
Your attitude - "It is the Greek that is certainly wrong" - contradicts not only the raison d'etre of Bible Works - to promote dialogue between and engagement with the versions - but...

Sorry, I forgot to finish. When I walked out the back, I shook the preacher's hand and complimented him on his sermon (on the delivery). He smiled. I didn't mean to give the impression that I stood...

Is it ethical to open the laptop and activate Bible Works during the service? People glared at me when I did so, as if my key plunking disturbed their sermon snooze. The screen partially blocked my...

Jim was right! Having changed the .vmf files (on the laptop running Vista it was only one) I now get Jda displaying twice when the search version is WTT. That's unacceptable, so I'll delete them....

Thanks Mark and Michael!
I located the .vmf files (wtt.vmf and TAR) and opened them with Wordpad and pasted in the lines and restarted BW7 and searched for επεβλεψεν and got all the versions (WTT,...
