It's probably not a useful general answer, but for your specific question I would look into the morphologically annotated texts which are available. http://etcbc.nl/methodology/morphology-for-the-masses-by-the-masses/ suggests that there are two freely available ones (probably for the Protestant Chri...

A: Why didn't the dough rise during the night of the Exodus? > Was their breadmaking process different from what I understand and they would have needed to do something to cause it to be leavened, a step that they missed because they were fleeing?

A: After the destruction of the temple, why didn't we revert to a temporary mishkan? Deuteronomy 12:5 establishes that contrary to the Canaanite practice of building sites for worship all over the place, and contrary to the exodic practice (v8) of "every man [acting] as he pleases", sacrifice should be offered at the place chosen by Gd.
