Words

I found this new web site. It's called wordle.net. You can paste (or type) text into the web site, and the website will count the words, and assemble with the more used words put as bigger text. You will have to see the example below. Pretty cool. Can't really save though.

It could be useful when studying the Word. This tool can add how many times the words are used and then visually represent it. Sometimes "quantity" of words can help you understand the big idea. But you also should evaluate "quality" of certain words too.

Here's the example, using the text from Hebrews chapter 1:



Notice "God" and "angels" are the most used words. Chapter 1 is comparing the Son of God to the angels, and how mucher greater the Son is. Also notice the "says". Chapter 1 mentions quotes from the OT as referencing to Jesus, but if you notice in verse 2, God has spoken to us now through his Son. Give it more thought, too quickly explained here.
