Find all in Genesis

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there is a way I can local all the Places that is mentioned in the book of Genesis. My first thought was to thy <Place *> but I did not work. Does anyone knows how I can get this information?

Here's one method.

2. Specify the range from Genesis 1-50

3. Copy the list, by right clicking in the biblical places drop down tab of the explorer tool

4. Create a new note (you can type in the command box "Create Notes named All Places in Genesis"), and press Add Note

5. Paste the list to the note

Here's a second, more thorough method using the Concordance tool.

1. Open Concordance tool

2. Generate a Concordance of the ESV (or your preferred translation.

3. Limit the range from All Passages to only Genesis

4. Show the Biblical Entities

5. Limit by the facet Kind: Place

6. Go to Print/Export

Here's the list it generated...

Wow!! Thanks a lot James. Great! I did not notice that we could do that on Concordance. Really appreciate both of your explanations.
