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.
Hello, I have tried everything to delete some (actually: the majority) of the book in my library as I never ordered or asked for them. However, there seems to be no way to do that, neither in the desktop nor the online or the mobile app which to me doesn't seem very user friendly, no? Would anyone know how to do it or is…
How do I change my background from black to white?
I read a book highlighting sections and adding notes as I went. Then I copied them into a notebook. The notebook puts the most recent note on top. So, the notebook is (mostly) in reverse order compared to the book - the last note I took shows up on top. I'd like the notes to follow the sequence of the book so note 1 from…
Can Desktop have the same reading view as that of mobile.
is it possible to change the lexicon that currently shows as the apparatus in the exegetical guide—SBL edition to another lexicon I have in my library — A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, 3rd edition.? My iPhone defaults to this in Word Info, but not on my iPad. Thank you
