For example, does yada (Gen 4:1 - to know) mean the same as ginosko in John 17:3? Is there a resource to show a side by side comparison or an alternate way to make such connections? Thanks!
I'm not sure what you have in your Logos.
The easy 'Logos' way, is for example using an ESV Reverse Interlinear, right-click the Gen 4:1 word, and in the left-column, select 'Sense'. Then in the right-column, select Bible Sense Lexicon. It'll show the Hebrew usage, and then below, the Greek (NT) usage.
In your example, there's 2 similar usages in the NT: Mat 1:25 and Luke 1:34 (both referring to relations). If you do the same for John 17:3, you'll see a different 'sense'.
The best way to compare Hebrew and Greek equivalents is to set up a work space that lets you quickly compare the equivalents side by side. Here is the workspace that I use to study those equivalents:
Hopefully this will help you or give you some good ideas.
@DMB response is a good tip (I learnt something) for looking at words categorised by the Logos personnel as having the same sense.
Another approach is to select the lemma in the left column and Bible Word Study so you can see the other senses of the word (many of them and "to have intercourse" is a small selection of the word's use.
In the translation LXX section, you can see that many different Greek words are translated from yada
I tend to like Bible Word study because the different sections can give me an idea of the complexities and, in most cases, it gives me a single tool that will lead me to all of the others.
Depending on the purpose, I can decide whether to focus on one sense. Clicking on that sense allows me to see all OT uses of that sense (and, of course, indicates that ginosko is a Greek alternative) .
My first thought would be to check the Septuagint to see how it’s rendered there.
I want to add footnotes in Sermon Builder, so if someone asks me where a particular quotation came from, I have easy reference to it at the end of the sermon. Not everything I use comes from my logo library.
Why is my Logos Dictionary not correcting mispellings? It offers no correct only to add the word to the dictionary.
I find the "Send to Proclaim" option distracting, how do I hide it from the Right Click Menu?
something changed so that I am unable to hear text to speech on the program that has on one side and ESV Bible on the other. I use the ctrl r to hear it. It works on the Truth for Today but not on the Bible side. I am not sure what changed, to cause that. Please help if possible. God Bless You.
John C Poitier's book, "The Invention of Inspiration . . . " explores the ancient (pre early 3rd century AD) meaning of theopneustia as in 2 Tim. 3:15-17. His conclusion is that the word meant "life giving", perhaps based originally on the creation story (God breathed into the form and it/he became a living person). He…
