I am translating Jeremiah 14:1-22.  I am taking a seminary course in Jeremiah for growth and as continuing education.  Is there a way that the 68 results in 48 articles in 8 resources can be distributed to be in the verse by verse section of the exegetical guide?  Instead of translating a verse and then looking through 48 articles to see which ones apply to the particular verse, can these grammar points be distributed to the pertinent verses?  Thank you for your help.

    I am not sure this is possible. The way I bypass this problem is by working verse for verse. In the Exegetical Guide try doing it one verse at a time. It is cumbersome, but it will help you.

    Another possibility is to create a collection of resources you are interested in using and then running a search with the following <=Jeremiah 14:1> or whatever verse you are studying. It will limit all results to just that verse

    Thank you.  I will go verse by verse.  I appreciate that suggestion.

    [:D] I wish there was an easier way.  Do not forget to try and run a search with the following parameters: <=Jeremiah 14:1> You will be staggered about how much information is hidden in your library. If you run a search without the "=" (i.e. <Jeremiah 14:1> you will get a lot of redundant results (for example If a reference is to Jeremiah chapters 10-20, you will receive a hit). Using the "=" sign limits the search to only that reference.

    It can be worthwhile to look into creating certain collections i.e. Grammars, Textual Resources, Academic Commentaries, Intermediate Commentaries, Journals, Hebrew Lexicons, Greek Lexicons etc and building your very own Guide from these. This way you can easily sort your results according to your needs.
