In this new series of Bible Book Word Search, I would like to help all our readers to search out all words of each book of the Bible, so that we can study the Word of God with clarity and accuracy.
One of the first things we need to do is to search out all the words that occur in the book.
In the coming days, we will systematically search out all the words that occur in each Book of the Bible.
The Method:
2. The final format will be put in an Excel format
3. An Excel document will be provided for our readers to download at the end of each blog
4. From there, you can start doing in-depth word studies to find the keywords and key themes of the Book.
Twelve Minor Prophet Books
We will begin with the 12 minor prophet books in the following order:
1. Hosea
2. Joel
3. Amos
4. Obadiah
5. Jonah
6. Micah
7. Nahum
8. Habakkuk
9. Zephaniah
10. Haggai
11. Zechariah
12. Malachi
BOOK OF HOSEA
To do word studies of each book:
Part A: Collect individual words from the book
Part B: Collect word families of the book (Some individual words are grouped together in family groups)
Part A: Individual Words of the Book of Hosea
Collect Data from YahwehDeHua Website
Step 1: Go to: http://yahwehdehua.net/cn/snstats/ot
Step 2: Choose the book: Hosea
Hosea has 14 chapters: From Hosea 1:1 to Hosea 14:9
Step 3: Scroll to the bottom of the page:
1. Hit "All Hebrew Numbers"
2. Hit "Submit an enquiry"
Step 4: The data will appear on this page
This page is very long, so I show you only part of the page from the top.
1. All the words are listed in the order of Strong's Numbers of Hebrew words
2. If you look closely at the data even in these few words, you can see that the word "love" which is a theme of Hosea occurs 16 times.
The table also shows you how the word "love" is spread through the 14 chapters of Hosea.
- the most occurrence of "love" is 5 times in Hosea Chapter 1.
- or we can group them together that "love" occurs from Hosea 1-3 and Hosea 9-13
etc.
This gives you an idea of where the keywords are located and in which chapter or sections inside the book.
Step 5: Export to Spreasheet
Click to "Export the spreadsheet": Excel format:
Voila!
I will attach the Excel Spreadsheet for you to download onto your computer.
Once you have the Excel spreadsheet, you can do anything you want to find the information you want in terms of word frequencies, word occurrences of each chapter, the spread of the word in the book, the theme of each chapter, and the theme of the book.
Of course, word studies is only a start in exegesis. Context is most important when it comes to looking for themes in the book. You need to find not only individual words but how the words are used in the context of the chapter, the section, and the entire book.
Learn to look for "Key Phrases". The Key phrases will direct you to the theme of the Book. For Key phrases, you need to read the entire book at one sitting to grasp the whole context. What I do is that in the next 14 days, I read the entire book once each day in prayer to absorb the message that God wants to speak to me.
Here are the 50 most frequent words of Hosea:
The larger the word, the higher the frequency:
- YHWH - 46X
- Israel - 44X
- Ephraim - 37X
- God - 26X
Looking at the words will give you an idea of some of the themes in the book.
Of all the prophets in the OT, Hosea pays special attention to Ephraim:

PS I will do Part B in the next post and take you step by step!

01 圣经书卷单词搜索 - 何西亚书 - Excel电子表格下载
在这一新的圣经书卷单词搜索系列中，我想帮助读者借着搜索出圣经每一本书的每个单词，好让我们清晰准确地查考神的话语。
在接下来的日子里，我会系统地在每本圣经书卷搜索所有出现的单词。
The Method 方法:
1.
所有数据均来自“雅伟的话语” 网站: YahwehDeHua Website
2.
最终将以Excel
格式呈现。
3.
每篇博文的末尾都会提供Excel文档供读者下载。
4.
从Excel那里，您可以开始筛选，进行深入的单词查考，以找到该书的关键词和关键主题。
十二卷小先知书
我会用以下的顺序从12卷小先知书开始:
1. 何西亚书
2. 约珥书
3. 阿摩西书
4. 俄巴底亚书
5. 约拿书
6. 弥迦书
7. 那鸿书
8. 哈巴谷书
9. 西番雅书
10. 哈该书
11. 撒迦利亚书
12. 玛拉基书
何西亚书
每一书卷进行单词查考:
A
部分：从书中搜集单词 (single words)
B 部分：搜集书中的字系 (word family) ( 有些单词是组合在一字系)
A部分：何西亚书的单词
从 YahwehDeHua 网站收集数据
第一步：进入: 《雅伟的话》网站 （http://yahwehdehua.net/cn/snstats/ot）
第二步：选书卷：何西亚书
何西亚书一共有14章:从 何西亚书1:1 到 何西亚书14:9
第三步：滑到页面的底部:
1.
1. 点击“希伯来文全部编号”
2. 点击 "提交查询"
第四步：数据会显示在这页面
这个页面很长，我只是给您展示了页面的顶端部分。
1. 所有单词是以《史特朗经文彙编》中的希伯来语原文编号顺序列出。
2. 你仔细观察这几个词的数据，你会发现作为何西阿书其中之一主题关键词：“爱”，这个词在这里出现了 16 次。
該表还向您展示“爱”这个字是如何分布在何西亚书的14章书里的。
- “爱”的出现次数最多是在何西亚书第一章，一共5次。
- 或者，我们可以将它们归纳一下，“爱” 这个字出现在何西亚书的1-3章和9-13章
等等。
这样就让您可以了解，关键词的位置以及在书中哪些章节曾出现过。
第五步：导出电子表格
点击：“汇出至试算表” ：输出excel 格式
我将附上Excel电子表供您下载到您的电脑上
==> 您只需在此点击下载：何西亚书单词Excel电子表!!
好好享用!!
一旦您有了这Excel电子表格，您就可以随意地做许多事情来分析您想要的关于单词的信息，包括出现的字频率、在书中每章节的出现与分布情况、每章书的主题关键词和全书的主题关键词。
当然，字意查考仅仅是释经的开端。要找到书的主题，上下文的联系是最重要的。您不仅要找出单个单词，您还要找出这些单词在章节、段落乃至整本书的上下文中如何使用。
学习找出“关键短语(Key Phrases)”。关键短语将会引导您书的主题。而这关键短语，需要您一口气读完整本书以致掌握全书的上下关联。我会在接下来的14天里， 每天都在灵修时间中读整本书一遍，以吸收神想对我说的信息。
这是何西亚书中50个最常见单词：
字体越大的单词就是越常见的单词：
- YHWH - 46X
- Israel -
44X
- Ephraim - 37X
- God
- 26X
留意这些单词会让您对书中的一些主题有所了解。
在旧约所有的先知中，何西亚特别关注以法莲。
