How to do a Greek or Hebrew word search.

Can anyone tell me how to do a Greek or Hebrew word search? For example, in Heb. 8:7 the English word "mind" is used. The word "mind" in this case is the Greek word

νοῦς nŏus (Strong's #3563)

However, this same Greek word, which is translated as "mind" in Heb. 8:7 is it's not always translated "mind" in every passage of the the KJV Bible. Sometimes the word is translated as "understanding." What I want to do is find all the places the Greek word

νοῦς nŏus (Strong's #3563)

is used in the Bible, regardless of how it was translated in English. The same would be true for a Hebrew word in the OT. Hope this isn't too confusing. Thanks for any help you may have.

Sincerely,

Clay

Hi Clay - and welcome to the forums

νοῦς nŏus (Strong's #3563)

νοῦς nŏus (Strong's #3563)

(I think the verse is Heb 8:10)

To do what you want to do is easiest in a Bible with reverse-interlinear capability (which requires you to have purchased a Logos base package or crossgrade). In the screenshots below I am using the King James Version

Right-clicking on the word shows that the lemma form being used is διάνοια and it is actually the root (νους) which is the common term you were talking about.

And you can search for either of these from that right-click menu - simply select it on the right and then scroll down to and use the "search" function on the left

Alternatively, for the lemma form, you can run a Bible Word Study (from the same menu) which gives you access to the same information and a lot more

Hope this helps - please post back if anything is still not clear

Graham, thank you so much for your help. That was exactly what I was wanting to do. I apologize for the mix up on the scripture reference. I was actually looking at Romans 8:7 not Hebrews 8:7. I appreciate you working around my error in scripture reference.

No problem at all

Graham, thank you so much for your help. That was exactly what I was wanting to do

Glad to help[:)]

Graham - I realize this is an older thread, but I have a question related to it. Is there a way to grab these results to post into a document or power point? I tried highlighting the search results, but that did not work.

Floyd Johnson

Partially solved my immediate problem by running the same search in the web app. From there I could highlight, copy, and paste the results into my document.

Still wondering if there is a way to do this within the Windows version of LOGOS?

Hi Floyd, I think that when you do a search, from the results you can click the 3 dots in the upper right corner & then choose "Save as Passage List" (see screenshot). This might be what you are looking for.

Hi Floyd

Martin's suggestion is the way to go for a Search.

If you are running a Bible Word Study Guide to get this, you can do the same thing from there as well:
