I want to search the entire written Torah [the 5 books] for possible 3 consecutive words with 3 specific letter of Hebrew alphabet based on my choice. Is there any website or program that does this?

Example: the 3 alphabet letters of Vav, vav, vav can be found in the beginning of each of these 3 consecutive words: Veachalta Vesavata Overakhta

  • It doesn't looks an hard program to write if you have the Torah as unicode text. I can do it for you if everything fails.

I made a quick & dirty Python program. Here is a test run for your consideration. It's a short free program and you only need Python.

** Edit 3 **

Here are the results for the five books of Torah.

This version replace all maqaf with space before examine the words.

You can find the program and files at https://github.com/Candid-Moe/search/tree/main

  • Very nice. Note, by the way, that this will not exclude words where vav is part of the root (specifically Sh'mos 36:38, "וְאֶת-וָוֵיהֶם וְצִפָּה", which I think would be the only example in Tanach of a three word series with each word beginning with vav when one of the words starts with a vav that belongs to the root).

  • This is worth bonus points! If you share your code (and ping me) I want to give you some! Commented Dec 3 at 2:19
  • @CandidMoe I was just making a parenthetic observation, since the word "וו" ("vav", not to be confused with the individual letter vav "ו", although there is an etymological relationship) means "hooks" in Exod. 36:38, and the letter vav at the beginning of that word is part of the root. You answered the question well as asked, but I suspect that the OP was interested specifically in sequential words beginning with a vav as a prefix.

1 - When the pattern is limited to <= 3 consecutive words, then your best bet now is https://www.mgketer.org/search by entering vav-asterisk, vav-asterisk, vav-asterisk into the search. Their downloadable/installable desktop application is even more robust than their web-based search, but still limited to searching 3 words.

2 - As @shmosel hinted to in a comment, (my very own) Base Hasefer can search with an unlimited number of search terms and also do wildcard pattern based searches. Surrounding the search terms by double quotes will indicate that the words must be consecutive.

For example if you want to search Tanach for the roshei teivos of the name Moshe you would merely search on the pattern mem-asterisk, shin-asterisk, heh-asterisk like the following: enter image description here

The one catch (something that I'm actually working on fixing for the next software update) involves the specific search case mentioned in your question when trying to search with repeated identical search terms such as the roshei teivos vav, vav, vav where the site currently won't find anything for it but the search on mgketer.org will.

    Why don't repeated terms work? Is it a bug?

  • correct - it's been bothering me for a while. Hope to have a fix released within the next few months iy"H and will try to remember to post an update here when that happens. For now, one can still find repeated occurrences of a search term in the Advanced Search by setting # of occurrences >= a specific amount. But it can't enforce finding consecutive matches one word apart. Watch out for next week's parsha (Vayishlach) where we get the world-record of an entire 8-word pasuk (בראשית לב:טו) ending in mems. (וראה בעל הטורים שם)

  • While the sample image above is in Hebrew, the site does have an English language user interface. To switch between the Hebrew and English UI there is a button on the upper right of the screen: when it says "English" and you click it, the UI will be toggled to English and when it says "עברית" and you click it, the UI will be toggled to Hebrew. The source material from Tanach will always appear in Hebrew.

Secretorah.com has always worked best for me. They also have several other interesting options.

The Bar Ilan Responsa program should let you do this (I have never tried to search that way) but it is not a free program -- you need to buy the program.
