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'm on Mac Sequoia 15.4.1 and latest version of Logos. Logos keeps shutting down as soon as it opens. What can I do?
When I am trying to determine whether I might want to buy a book or not, I always want to see its Table of Contents, which almost always helps provide a helpful overview of the book's content. When I clicked on "See Inside," I was routinely disappointed that the complete TOC was not included in the Preview, but at least at…
Does anybody know the difference between NIV Application Commentary | NIVAC: Old and New Testaments, 44 vols. and NIV Application Collection (46 vols.)? Except for the price and that the collection includes the Study Bible and the Abridged Version . There is a major difference in the price. Is there any other difference…
There are some Biblical Character Highlights by a Tim Hall. I would like to know where he got the nice animation images for the highlights as I would like to make more of new Testament Characters also.
Apparently I have quite a few dictionaries and lexicons in my library. Unfortunately I don't really know much about them all, I'm new to Logos and studying the bible. Also, I use Logos most of the time on my ipad pro and when I longpress a word it shows the dictionary info for that word and I love having that at my…
