I see per the catalog I own Lexham Discourse Hebrew Bible: Glossary and The Lexham Discourse Hebrew Bible: Introduction. https://www.logos.com/product/6786/lexham-discourse-hebrew-bible-bundle#:~:text=The%20Lexham%20Discourse%20Hebrew%20Bible,representations%20for%20numerous%20communicative%20devices. It also said it is not able to be purchased. I would like to know if I own the actual datasets and resources that are called the Lexham Discourse Hebrew Bible. I went to this page and it said I own it https://www.logos.com/product/131521/lexham-discourse-hebrew-old-testament-datasets but I cannot find an actual resource in Logos Library. Can someone show me how to find this or access the resource in my Logos catalog? I do not understand how datasets are seen in Logos. I am doing some Discourse Analysis on the LXX and its quotes in the NT.

    1. Easy way to check dataset: in your LHB or LEB, select Visual Filters, and scan down for hebrew discourse features. If you see it, you have it. Click on it to view.

    2. A hebrew discourse analysis is barely related to a greek (LXX) discourse. And AFAIK,  there isn't one for the LXX. Basically, if you know koine, you can match the hebrew.  The primary problem is how a language delivers meaning above lemma (MJ being again the better source).

    To easily illustrate how a translation can ignore the original, read Alter's 'Art of Translation' ... you probably have it.

    Forgive my ignorance, do you read the Lexham Discourse Hebrew Bible right to left or left to right?

    Not ignorant; good question.

    Actually, it's a discourse dataset, not a Bible (way back, it was a Bible). So, the direction depends on the Bible itself. Most hebrew Bibles are right to left, with sentence-level info on the right. Biblia Hebraica Transcripta is left to right, with sentence level info on the left.

    Additionally, most hebrew Bibles can show the discourse dataset, but not all. BHQ and Samaritan, as examples, can't.
