Structuring Names Search, without including pronouns and possessives

Fr Matthew Johnson

I am preparing a presentation on Christian Exorcism, for senior clergy.

As part of this I wish to identify the different names for Satan in OT, Apocrypha, & NT; and count these.

I would like to do this but avoid finding and enumerating pronouns and possessives.

? How do I structure a query that will include Satan and related names (devil, etc), ...

<Person Satan> , but without pronouns (he, him, his, etc) or possessives (his, yours, etc)?

Hi Fr Matthew - and welcome to the forums

Try doing a Factbook lookup on Satan and then look at the Referred to as section

If I remember correctly this doesn't include references from the Apocrypha

And excludes the OT

<Person Satan> NOT INTERSECTS (<LogosMorphGr ~ R??????>, <LogosMorphGr ~ V???????>) is more complete for the NT and LXX.

<Person Satan> NOT INTERSECTS (<LogosMorphHeb ~ R??????>, <LogosMorphHeb ~ V????????>) for the OT and Apocrypha.

If used separately in a reverse interlinear, restrict the range appropriately.

Doesn't that depend on the canon of your highest priority Bible?

Huh?

Thanks MJ, I wasn't sure about that and didn't check

I really wish we had to select the canon explicitly, so it was clearer what the parameters of the results were. The common canons for Logos/Verbum users would be:

short (Calvinist)
Anglican
Lutheran
Catholic
Greek Eastern Orthodox
Slavic Eastern Orthodox

Yes, all of these differ.

It does not.

Also, for the original poster, since all the screenshots have displayed the original language data in that section, be aware that there is also a "Translated As" list, which explicitly separates pronouns.(in all forms).
