Dear Nathan,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! That is a huge help.

5:11 seems to be a false positive. Could you or someone else please verify that Zechariah 5:11 contains cognate repetition?

Again, I really appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Chris Lovelace

Accordance can do the kind of search you are after. In order to find  cognate accusatives it would require syntax information (because it would need to know the relationship of the nouns to the verb).  But this information is only available for certain OT books at this stage and Zech isn't one of them. It can, however find all the verses in Zech that have a noun and a finite verb that use the same root. You will need to weed through these for those that are actually cognate accusatives. It finds 17 such verses:

1:2, 1:14, 1:15, 3:7, 5:11, 6:12, 7:9, 7:14, 8:2, 8:16, 10:5, 11:9, 11:13, 12:10, 13:6, 14:12, 14:16
