I was just reading Commentary on the New Testament Use of the Old Testament  Authors: Carson, D. A.; G. K. Beale [ http://www.logos.com/ebooks/details/COMNTUSEOT ] and the article was comparing a text in Mark with the Hebrew OT and the LXX. There was a quote from Deut 29:2-4. Because it mentions the Hebrew and LXX text of Deuteronomy, I wanted to see both.

What is the easiest way to do this? Click on the text > which will open the ESV; click on the parallel resources tab (which takes some time) choose one version; Click on the parallel resources tab again and wait for it to populate again and then click on the LXX (interlinear).

Suggestion:

Why can't there be options on the Right-Click menu under: Reference say, that would list my top Bibles (maybe segregated by language group / or by Testament)? So now, I see the Deut. reference, right mouse click;  select Reference and then easily and quickly navigate to the Bible I want to open. In my case in this example, I would right- mouse-click 3 times for: BHS, Lexham LXX Interlinear and the Lexham Hebrew Interlinear. How easy would that be?

NOTE: Right now, I do have Lexical options on the menu, but what I am suggesting would  [under a different heading], allow us to also have our "Go To" Bibles available at a click.

Thanks

    The right click menu does list the top 5 prioritized bibles.

    Right click on the reference to Deut. 29:2-4

    Select the "Bible Deut 29:2-4" on the right.

    Scroll to the bottom of the list on the Left.

     

    You can also do this with the F7 function. Hover over Deut. reference. Hit F7. Click anywhere in the Text compare popup to pull up the tool. select the translations you want to compare.
