let us access Bible Word Study from a lexicon

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I should add to this.

A lot of times I have wanted to do a Bible word study or a Bible search for a Hebrew or Greek lemma, and I have to find the word first in a lexicon to find verses to go to in order to do those things.

Just now I am looking at Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology. I questioned a statement made there, but I need to do a Bible word study to get the answer. So I have to find the word in a lexicon, then a verse, before I can do the word study.

Is this such a rare thing to do?

make it happen

thank you

A big reason I don't use BWS much … as you, first, selected lexicons … then right-click the lexicon, …zippo. I assume, since lexicon entries aren't lemmas. Lemmings.

Sure always a work-around.

I'm not completely following.

If you have a word you want to look up, you can type it into BWS. As per the instructions that appear when you open the BWS panel, you can use g: or h: to enter Greek or Hebrew words without needing an original language keyboard.

Perhaps you can give a concrete example of a time you weren't able to look up a word in BWS and had to go to a lexicon?

OK, I had a two-part question. But, yes, this was the first. Clicking is faster than typing. if i am in a Bible, I can click on a lemma and have the BSW option. But in a lexicon, if I click on a lemma, I get nothing.

If I want to go to BSW, is that under guides or tools? I suspect most people don't know and have to hunt for it. We can pin it to the top (guides), which I did in the past. But I put it at the end for WORD study and didn't see it right away.

Putting that option in the right click menu is the easiest and fastest way.

The other part of my question: If I want to do a lemma search, whether inline or Bible, I can do that by clicking on a word in the Bible. In a lexicon, I have all these lemmas, but I have to open a guide or a search and then type it in. An inline search, I have to find a verse in the lexicon first.

I think most users expect to see that option whenever they click on a lemma, wherever that is.

thank you
