Intertextual Search from OT to OT or NT to NT

Hey all,

I am doing research on Deuteronomy and I am using the intertext feature in the Bible Book Explorer, but it only shows results for the NT. How can I search for results in the OT as well?

Andrew, unless I'm mistaken the Intertext feature in Bible Books Explorer cannot search for OT uses of OT text.

This is because it is visualizing information from the "New Testament Use of the Old Testament Dataset".

Thank you, Kevin. So, is there a search formula then that can give me such results?

Others may have better solutions, but this is one way I've found has been fruitful in my own study (see the image below)

Run a Search, and select Basic (not Bible).
Set your search parameters to All Text in Old Testament in All Bibles.
Then, in the search box, enter the passage/verse for which you are looking in carrots (e.g. <Deut 6:4-9>)

This will return results for all the footnote references in any given Bible (i.e. cross references already indicated by the editors of a Bible). I find the ESV to be particularly well marked up.

At the very least, this may provide a good start.
