Analyzing linguistic data from the Hebrew Bible in conjunction with Gesenius. The purpose of the repository is to produce datasets and analysis for the Oxford Grammar of Biblical Hebrew project lead by Professor Geoffrey Khan.
Analysis and data-production pipeline occurs in workflow and is output to results.
This project uses Snakemake for the pipeline.
All data which is crucial for the analysis is stored openly (MIT license) in results/csv. All of the Hebrew
Bible data is derived from the ETCBC's BHSA, which is undera CC-BY-NC 4.0 license.
The English alignment data and the translation themselves are not themselves open-source and thus cannot be released.
However, we do release the data derived from those sources secondarily. For English alignments, we provide
a link between a BHSA node from Text-Fabric and a
given tense-tagging, which has been composed using a mixture of Spacy and manually input rules. Thus
we cannot provide the English string, e.g. ברא = "he created" (ESV), but we can provide the tense tag
which is the only thing that is crucial for the analysis anyways, e.g. ברא = "simple past" (ESV).
The LXX data is under its own license, coming from the CATSS project. We only provide a small subset
here. The full dataset can be found at http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/gopher/text/religion/biblical/parallel/.
