Trying out some Hebrew
בֶּן־אָדָ֕ם הוֹדַ֥ע אֶת־יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם אֶת־תּוֹעֲבֹתֶֽיהָ׃
Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations.
וְאָמַרְתָּ֞ כֹּה־אָמַ֙ר אֲדֹנָ֤י יְהוִה֙ לִיר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם מְכֹרֹתַ֙יִךְ֙ וּמֹ֣לְדֹתַ֔יִךְ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ הַֽכְּנַעֲנִ֑י אָבִ֥יךְ הָאֱמֹרִ֖י וְאִמֵּ֥ךְ חִתִּֽית׃
Say to them, thus says the Lord, YHWH, to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth are of the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother was a Hittite.
It can be done, it's not ideal...

In reality, if you want complex Hebrew slides.com is not for you
Parabible
- Rapidly build OT searches
- Query on ranges like "clause" instead of "within x words"
- Some LXX parallel stuff (not great right now)
