introduction

MORPH is an electronic text of the whole Hebrew/Aramaic Bible (Old Testament); it is almost identical with the one found in the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS).

In addition to containing the Biblical text, MORPH parses every Hebrew and Aramaic word form found in the Bible, making the Massoretic text perfectly searchable. The standard lexicon for lemmatization is the "Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament" (HALOT), and for grammatical decisions various grammars are relied on (see the Bibliography for details). It uses the Michigan-Claremont encoding scheme. It is this database which is used by various software products, such as Accordance or BibleWorks. You can find more information on MORPH here.
