Incorrect label reference for label: "Figure of Speech name: Symbol

There seems to be a problem with labels for Bullenger's Figures of Speech.

While looking at Acts 3:24 in NASB, I right-clicked on a word in the verse and on the right side of the pop-up menu I saw a label: "Figure of Speech name: Symbol". It also showed up in the Information tool when I clicked on any word in the same verse. I couldn't figure out what the symbol was and since there was no link to Bullenger's in the Information tool I searched Bullenger's for Acts 3:24 but got no results (logos4:Search;kind=Basic;q=$3CActs_3:24$3E;match=stem).

I then right-clicked on Acts 3:24, clicked on "Figure of Speech name: Symbol" on the right-side of the pop-up menu then selected "Search This Resource" on the left side of the pop-up menu. I found what seemed to be one hit that covered all verses from Acts 2:1 through Acts 8:40 and another hit that covered Acts 10:1-48. This doesn't look correct. (logos4:Search;kind=Bible;q=$7BLabel_Figure_of_Speech_WHERE_Name_~_$22Symbol$22$7D;match=stem)

I found what seemed to be one hit that covered all verses from Acts 2:1 through Acts 8:40 and another hit that covered Acts 10:1-48. This doesn't look correct.

This is a literal interpretation of Bullinger where he states "In Matt. 16:19, the power and authority of opening the doors of the kingdom were committed to Peter, and he exercised that commission in making the final offer of the Messiah to the nation of Israel (Acts 2–8, and 10)." when illustrating how "key" is used as a symbol of power and authority. Mt 16:19 is correctly tagged, but the chapters in Acts should not have been.

It is difficult enough that a whole verse is tagged for the sake of one word, forcing one to somehow cross-reference it with Bullinger's book.

Figurative Language is more useful e.g. the context menu for "keys" in Mt 16:19 provides a number of alternatives e.g. {Label Figurative Language WHERE Category ~ <FigurativeLanguageCategory Metaphor, Structural>} or {Section <FigurativeLanguageCategory = Meta, Ont, Ent>} similar in scope to Bullinger's "Symbol".

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your explanation and advice. I just explored the Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible dataset and glossary and have a much better understanding of how to use them.

This will be very helpful.

I really like Bullinger's Figures of Speech Used in the Bible: Explained and Illustrated, but between the challenges I encounter with the labels and the lack of links to the book from the Bible text right-click menu and other tools, I became more frustrated then enlightened.

Please:

Finish the work that was started with Bullinger's by refining the labels and adding the links so they are useful.
Expand the Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible dataset and glossary to include the Old Testament.
Make the Bible references in the Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible glossary active links so they can be found and used like Bible references are elsewhere in Logos.

Thank you.
