How do I compare 2 different OT passages and highlight the same lemmas and roots?

Timothy Decker

I'm such a noob when it comes to Logos.

I want to compare Eze 36 w/ Dt 28 and note the lemmas and roots in common. Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to do it the hard way?

Please help.

Hi Timothy and welcome to the Forums.

This is actually a fairly simple process. You will need to make 2 different "word lists." Click on the "Documents" tab on the Logos screen and scroll down to "Word List." You will need to open 2 word lists. Designate one as "Ezekiel 36" and the other "Dt. 28." Click on the "ADD" in the Word list panel and insert the Scripture reference and then hit the enter key to initiate the search. Do the same thing on the other panel and insert the proper Scripture reference and hit enter to initiate that search. When both lists have populated with their individual lemma lists, then you can click on the "MERGE" button on either panel. When the Merge dropdown opens, (let's say that you Merge from the Ezekiel list) type in Dt. 28 in the reference and select "Intersection" and hit enter. This will then give you another list that contains only the lemmas that are common in both Scriptures. When I ran that comparison, there were approximately 95 mutual words between the two chapters.

Hope this helps.
