Bible search for all verses where Moses prays/calls/speaks to God (Numbers/Deuteronomy)
Tried {Speaker <Person Moses>} (pray* OR call* OR said OR spoke)
But got back things like "The LORD spoke to Moses, saying … (Nu 5:1) (which makes no sense as God [not Moses] is the Speaker)
My interest began with:
"Let the LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation … (Nu 27:16)
This is the first place where Moses speaks to God in the Third Person "May the Lord" instead of in the 2nd person "Lord Please"...
The earlier point where Moses speaks to God in the Second Person is 11 Chapters earlier where he speaks angrily to God … "Do not [YOU] respect their offering …" (Nu 16:15)
The incident of Moses Striking the Rock is in Nu 20 … Moses speaks/prays calls (I guess like in 2nd person) in the interim. Just trying to reconstruct the conversation.

You were probably doing a basic search rather than a Bible search. A basic search matches anywhere within the same chapter, not just the same verse.
Try: {Addressee <Person God>} INTERSECTS {Speaker <Person Moses>}
PS — You can get this syntax for yourself by clicking on Use search templates on the Bible search page.

Sort of works ... Thanks!
Also looking for things like:
"Moses prayed to the LORD" (Num 11:2)
"Moses prayed for the people" [presumably the the Lord] (Num 21:7)
etc.

You can find Numbers 11:2 and 21:7 plus Exodus 10:18 and Deuteronomy 9:20 with a clause search for agent:moses sense:to pray. You do get a few false positives, though (occasions where Moses is asked to pray or says he will pray).

Sorry ... I understand ... Needs LHI to search Hebrew for English result.
Thanks! I guess what I was trying to do can't be done
Bible Search {Addressee <Person God>} INTERSECTS {Speaker <Person Moses>} (pray* OR call* OR said OR spoke)
I though you could add "search words" after the Type of Search ...

Couple Bible search suggestions: converted (pray* OR call* OR said OR spoke) to senses, which includes sense children (quicker than wildcard search)
Keep Smiling [:)]

Very Nice! Greatly appreciated!

Is there a comprehensive list of <Sense> terms? Probably my only frustration with Logos is having to know what to call something in order to find it, but not being told what terms are indexed.

Incidentally, I know about the Bible Sense Lexicon, but in order to see a term, you have to have a starting term. I'd love to see a Concordance-like listing of all the terms used in the Lexicon.

You can get a list of all the senses that are used in a Bible in the Bible Browser. You will have to press "more" lots of times, though!
Easier is to use the concordance tool:
You'll be able to export the resulting list to Excel if you wish.
The one limitation is that it won't include entries that aren't in the Bible you choose. There are some umbrella terms that have "child terms" in the Bible, but aren't actually in the Bible themselves. Those umbrella terms aren't listed in the concordance tool.

In the Bible Sense Lexicon, you can enter a term in the box at the top. "entity" is the root of the noun tree, and "to act" is the root of the verb tree. From there, you can click the terms in the display on the right side to expand and view the children in order to explore the entire tree.

Hi Rob.
If you have the "Speaking to God" dataset (and interactive), then you can locate all of the places where "Moses" speaks with God with a search like:
{Label Speech} INTERSECTS {Speaker <Person Moses>}
If you are specifically looking for prayer of Moses to God, you can search for speech with the mode of "prayer":
{Label Speech WHERE Mode = "Prayer"} INTERSECTS {Speaker <Person Moses>}
Alternately, you could use the interactive and select "Moses" as the speaker and "Prayer" as the mode.
Hope it helps.

Most Excellent!
OK ... I'll bite ... You wrote: "the different modes and types and contexts tagged by the data set are documented in the interactive's "About" pane"
I'm guessing this is "Search" (interactive?) ... No idea where the "About Pane" is ...
Where's the "About Pane" ?

Hi Rob.
This assumes that you have a license to the "Speaking to God" Interactive, which allows faceted browsing of all interactions with God as addressee, and its associated dataset.
