Description

Check for occurrences of the combination of 'dust and ashes' (עָפָר and אֵפֶר)

Query:

Look for occurence of both words in any order.

Observations:

There is strong word similarity to any hearer. They share 2 radix for their root. Only difference is the aleph versus the ayin (nice phonetic pun). Also the word order for all 3 occurrences the same. Hence, the phrase עָפָ֥ר וָאֵֽפֶר forms a hendiadys, figure of speech (used for emphasis) saying with two words one concept.
