(I feel like I'm missing something; I don't understand why this is not already available…)

I'm interested in seeing how words are translated from Hebrew into Greek in the Septuagint. I can see the underlying Hebrew lemmas for a particular Greek lemma, but I can't see the Greek lemmas that were used to translate a particular Hebrew lemma. It seems like this information would be equally available and useful? Please add "Septuagint Translation" graph for Hebrew lemmas in the Bible Word Study!

    If you add another Translation section and use Logos LXX as the version, I think you get what you are looking for.

    Thanks, Graham!

    It does work for now. However, it results in an extra "Translation" section in the Bible Word Study for Greek lemmas as well, and for Greek lemmas it defaults to my top Bible (rather than the LXX), and thus becomes a duplicate section.

    I think this could be improved!

    I would address this by creating custom BWS Guides - you can do this by clicking the Guides in the toolbar, then New in the bottom right of that pane and Make a new Guide

    I've just set up two simple examples - one for Hebrew and one for Greek, and you can specify which Bible you want to use in each section of each guide.

    Then, when studying a word, you can choose which Guide you want to use:

    Does that help at all?
