Hebrew term list is missing all occurences in Genesis

Question

When I right-click on a Hebrew word in the “Source Language Text” window, hover over the blue lemma and select “References in all books,” it gives me all the instances in Exodus through Malachi, but no occurrences in Genesis. I’ve double checked this with terms I know occur in Genesis, e.g. “bara,” “elohim,” etc.

It used to show me all instances, but recently it’s been excluding Genesis. My general search function includes Genesis through Malachi, and I can’t find any setting that excludes Genesis.

Any ideas? I looked through help and this forum but couldn’t find any answers; sorry if I missed it.

Blessings, and thanks!

Answer 1

We are looking into this issue. We thought it was caused by the Genesis references accidentally getting removed from the resource data, but even after the data was put back, they still don’t seem to appear. This is baffling us, but we hope to have a fix soon™.

I had a coworker tell me the same thing about Genesis lacking search results, even when I working on the same project could see the search hits in Genesis.

This might be an old problem rearing it’s head. Have your coworker review the \id lines of their Scripture books. When you create a new book, Paratext will provide the \id which it expects to find for that book. Some parts of Paratext like the BT tool may not recognize the contents of a book if the \id line is changed.

The \id lines should be in this format and all identical except for the book code.

\id MAT – Full Name

“MAT” must be the book code that Paratext uses in the find menu. Some teams translate this which causes problems.

The “Full Name” is found in the Project Properties menu. The team changes this sometimes, like when they change from a NT to a Bible project.

My coworker’s problem is not searching in the backtranslation window. Her problem is searching a Hebrew lemma in the HEB/GRK window.

This same problem has just now started with me also: no Hebrew searches reveal any results in Genesis. Even when I am in Genesis and search for a word in the Hebrew text (HEB/GRK window) no Genesis hits are displays in the Search List.

It may be related to my upgrading today to the newest version of Paratext (9.3.103.5).

Can you provide a solution?

Here is the problem as I originally described it occurring for a coworker. Now it has occurred to my Paratext.

When I right-click on a Hebrew word in the “Source Language Text” window, hover over the blue lemma and select “References in all books,” it gives me all the instances in Exodus through Malachi, but no occurrences in Genesis. I’ve double checked this with terms I know occur in Genesis, e.g. “bara,” “elohim,” etc.

anon800412, I am seeing the same behavior on the same version of Paratext.
