I bought the "More Light on the Path" devotional some months ago as a way of trying to keep up my (minimal) Hebrew. Whereas the Greek words in this book all show a translation gloss beneath the reading, the Hebrew words don't appear to (which I accept is how the original book is set up), and the way the book is tagged it doesn't even seem to recognise them as Hebrew words. The reason I think this is:
- There aren't any tips if you hover the cursor over the Hebrew words.
- If you right-click on a Hebrew word you don't get any indication that it has been recognised as Hebrew, there are no "Lemma" options and you don't get offered the HALOT or other lexical lookup options. This means that you are actually better off going to a Hebrew text like BHS and right-clicking to look a word up in HALOT, which rather destroys the point of using this devotional.
I'm not normally keen on daily devotional books, preferring to read the Bible itself, but there is an opportunity here for Logos to make the digital form of the book a huge improvement on the dead tree version. I guess the fact the book is in three languages makes tagging a great deal more difficult. Whereas the book has been tagged for dates, the languages in it don't seem to be.
