Abstract

We provide a brief introduction to the history, methodology, and tools of the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer (ETCBC). The ETCBC maintains a searchable database of morphology, syntax, and text-level features for the Hebrew Bible, Hebrew inscriptions, Dead Sea Scrolls, the Peshitta, and one of the Targumim. The ETCBC follows a form-to-function approach, in which surface-level features are registered first and functional labels second. Linguists and exegetes can use the database’s freely accessible query tools for pattern searches and analysis of the text’s structure to address their research questions
