Help with this search in Logos 5

Good evening.

I manually went through Psalms 119 and marked every derivative of 'thy law' that I could find. (Thy word, thy commandments, thy statutes, thy righteous judgments, etc)

I came up with 174 such matches in 171 of the 176 verses.

How could I facilitate such a search in Logos?

Thank you for your help...

What about looking in:

Girdlestone, R. B. (1998). Synonyms of the Old Testament: their bearing on Christian doctrine. Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.

Chapter XVII WORD, LAW, COVENANT, §5 - Combination of Words in the 119th Psalm

But I suppose you would like to do it with the search feature and not with a resource?

If your search was in the New Testament, it would be relatively easy to construct it with Louw-Nida numbers. Unfortunately, these don't apply to the OT.

However, in one Hebrew Bible (Anderson-Forbes Analyzed Text), each word is tagged with a semantic domain. These domains are much broader than Louw-Nida, and often aren't useful for detailed searches. However one of those domains is pretty good for this search (the domain 'vocable'). It seems to include almost all of the words you might be looking for, except for עֵדוּת (often translated 'testimonies'), but you also might need to weed out some others that you don't want.

Thank you, Mark. I will look into this resource...

Sometimes, there is no substitute for our own eyes it seems.
