Description

Find all the objects of the verb 'BRK' that might designate God. selected are: 1. All phrase-type objects of BRK; 2. All forms of 'BRK' with a pronominal suffix second/third person masculine singular. You then have to see for yourself which of them designate God in some way. Which is a lot of work, but it's the only way I can think of not to miss a 'JHWH' or 'Adonai' or 'Elohim Tsevaoth' when you don't just want to list all possibilities in your query; additionally, you would still miss more complicated object phrases like 'God the Lord, the God of our fathers', while if you just look for anything with 'Elohim', you might also find objects like 'the people of God', which you shouldn't. Also, I guess for the pronominal suffixes the database does not typically know whether they indicate God (and neither might we, but we can take a look).
