Is there a way that I could find occurrences of the phrase "seed (or descendents) of Abraham" using the CLAUSE SEARCH feature of Logos 5?

    Hi Bill

    Don't think so - and the Clause Search is only available in the New Testament at the moment. But I don't understand why you want to use a clause search for this.

    A Basic search with

    "(seed, descendents) of abraham"

    as the search string gives you this.

    Am I missing your point?

    Graham,

    My CLAUSE SEARCH will also search the Old Testament [The Lexham Hebrew Bible] but it appears to be quite specific. For example, I can put in subject:Abraham  object:seed but it won't yield anything. But I can type in subject:Descendenrts of Abraham [which appears in the search possibilites below] and I get a few [3] references.

    Clause Search is available for both OT and NT, but that depends on having the appropriate resources:

    • Lexham Hebrew Bible
    • Lexham Greek-English Interlinear New Testament: SBL Edition

    If you don't have the LHB, the Clause Search will only cover the New Testament. And because they're distinct texts, you can only search one at a time (for now).

    Edit: as shown on http://www.logos.com/comparison,  LHB is included in Logos 5 Bronze and higher packages.

    Sure hope sometime in the next few months, Logos actually describes exactly 'what' is in Logos5.  So far, we have features that are actually NT only, nouns only, resources only partially completed and deliverable next year, and the most impressive of all, resources that are on someone's to-do list at some point.

    This is not counting the promised resources from Logos4 that are still somewhere in la-la land.

    Someone mentioned Logos not being a ministry (arguing that they should be held to business standards, a much higher level ... I hope Jesus was not reading that). But I think seeing Logos as a business is dangerous, since in most states, the attorney generals usually reference these type of adverts and promises in their court materials.

    Best to go with a ministry.

    Graham,

But I can type in subject:Descendenrts of Abraham [which appears in the search possibilites below] and I get a few [3] references.

    If  you want to make it less specific, use person:Abraham: that finds any clause that includes Abraham, whether he's the subject, object, or other relationship.

    But it's also true that

    person:Abraham thing:seed, grain, kernel

    returns no results. Note this is just searching clauses, not necessarily an entire verse. Here i'll agree with Graham: if you're looking for specific words together, you want to use Bible search.

    Apologies about that - I must have missed that point somewhere!
