Hebrew - LXX-translation

Hello

I would quite often like to know how often (percentage-wise) a certain hebrew-word was translated with some form of a greek word. Below an example. I would like to know how often the hebrew word was translated by some form of the verb ἐλπίζω.

Could you help me how that works?

Kind regards,

Marcel

Thank you!

But that means that I always have to count the different forms of a verb for instance.

There is no overview where I would directly see:

The Hebrew verb חסה was in 20% of the cases of the hebre bible translated by some form of ἐλπίζω in the LXX?

Kind regards,

Marcel

Hi Marcel

If you have the Septuagint with Logos Morphology resource you can search that for the Hebrew word and then switch to Analysis view

Then if you group the results by the Greek lemma I think you get what you are looking for

If you don't know how to do any of the things I mention above, please ask

Thank you!!

This is very helpful!!

How do you do it that you have the verb-groops so nicely bundled together? I only get so far as to have all the references listed.

Blessings,

Marcel

You should be able to click on the column header - go with Lemma (Greek) - and drag it to where it says Drag a column here to group by that column

If you have done that, ynu can right-click on one of the small arrows on the left and select Summary view

Dear Graham

Thank you so much! That is very helpful.

Is it even possible to display these results now in a chart?

Blessings,

I'm afraid not.

There is a Charts button at the top right of the search panel that does produce certain charts but not the specific information you are interested in

I put a arrow to show you the counts - you merely need to divide to get the percentage, the counting is already done
