Discrepancies in Bible Word Studies: A How To Guide
I was reading in Bible Word Studies: A How To Guide in my Logos 8. This is the section in which I saw something that seems to not be right. I am sure I am missing something but I I don't know what. Here is the info that seems to be wrong:
"QUICKBIT
Yahweh Elohim is used 20 times in Gen 2–3. Otherwise, it only occurs 17 other times in the Old Testament, usually in poetry or prayers."
I did a search and found this particular arrangement 21 times in 2 Chronicles alone. Per this quote, which "Originally published in Bible Study Magazine Nov–Dec ’10" there should only be 17 instances of this found in the entire OT, outside of Genesis 2&3. I didn't count & validate any other instance, but there were a great many more to be seen in my search. I don't know where I should be asking this question, but it is a part of my Logos 8, so I am asking it here. Please redirect me to the appropriate place if this is not it. But I very much would like to know, why I am seeing a discrepency in the data given in this Logos book and what I find in my search?

As a Lexham Press book, I would understand the Lexham Hebrew Bible was used. And when you use the phrase "יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים" (with quotes), the results agree with the statement! Results from BHS/WIVU and BHW 4.18 also agree. But results from BHS SESB 2.0 show 16 occurrences outside Gen 2-3.
There are only 4 results in 2 Chron, so I think you searched for יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים i.e. without quotes.

Welcome [:D]
Concur QUICKBIT needs updating since Morph search of Lexham Hebrew Bible has results in 829 verses (with 19 in Genesis 2-3)
lemma:יהוה BEFORE 1 WORD lemma:אֱלֹהִים@N??P

Morph Search for Absolute (no relationship to following noun) has results similar to QUICKBIT
lemma:יהוה BEFORE 1 WORD lemma:אֱלֹהִים@N??PA

Yes, but the construct still does not represent the Name "Yahweh Elohim" that is the subject of the QUICKBIT. Note the results for Josh 22:34, 1 Sam 6:20; where the article is present. Others have a preposition or conjunction.
