Different Results in Names Of God Interactive And Bible Word Studies

Kevin Kay

Can someone explain why I get different results (Number of times the word is used) for "Yahweh" in the Names Of God Interactive and for "Yahweh" in a Bible Word Study Report?  I know that the Names Of God Interactive includes the LXX, is that a reason for different results?  Or could it also be that the Names Of God Interactive breaks down the times "Yahweh" is used by itself and the times it is used in combination with other words (e.g. "Yahweh Elohim")?

Offhand, I'd say your hunch is correct — it is probably because some other Names of God incorporate "Yahweh" (e.g. "Lord God"). The Names of God data tracks these separately; a search for a lemma in BWS does not; it just finds all the instances of the lemma "Yahweh".
