Search Parameters Help

I'm trying to do a search of places in the Old Testament where the word "vine" is actually referring to Israel. I can write click on Vine in Psalm 80 and bring up Thing|Vine that was brought up from Egypt, but can't find any references outside of Psalm 80. I thought it might be something like <Thing vine> INTERSECTS <People Israel>, but that didn't return anything either. What am I doing wrong? Is there another way to go about finding this information?

Welcome to the forums. This isn't the area of my expertise but I can head you in the right direction. I think you need to step back a bit and think about language a bit. The word "vine" never means "Israel" in the sense of definition of vine. The word "vine" may be figuratively used to represent "Israel" - symbolically or metaphorically. Look in the Help file or Westbury, Joshua R., Jeremy Thompson, Kristopher A. Lyle, and Jimmy Parks, eds. Lexham Figurative Language of the Bible Glossary. Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2016.

You could also look up "Vine that was brought out of Egypt" in the Factbook.

Unfortunately, I'm indexing and don't have complete search results

<Thing vine> INTERSECTS <People Israel>,

There are some searches where you can't get adequate terms, and this is one. There are too many choices for people of Israel/Judah e.g. <Thing Vine> NEAR <Person Kingdom of Judah>

{Section <Culture Nations as plants>} or <Thing Vine brought out of Egypt> will bring up Ps 80.
