The Accordance Hebrew Syntax database is the result of a decade of collaborative planning and research. The origin of the project lies in a research grant proposal written by Robert Holmstedt (University of Toronto) in 2007. At that time, two other databases had become accessible to the public: 1) the WIVU Emdros database of the Werkgroep Informatica of the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, now administered by the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer (see footnote 1) and presented as the ETCBC database (see footnote 2), and 2) the Andersen-Forbes Analyzed Text of the Hebrew Bible (see footnote 3). The initial motivation for proposing a third database was straightforward—to be able to use a database created upon a model of Hebrew syntax that differed from the two existing databases.[1] Yet another syntactic database has been underway since 2009: the Westminster Hebrew Syntax database (http://www.doxologypress.org/sites/groves/B/?page_id=19; accessed June 12, 2017)
