Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.
This tip is inspired by the forum post: Louw Nida style tagging (93.167) for Hebrew text? - Logos Forums
This tip relates to these three resources:
- Swanson, James. Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains: Aramaic (Old Testament). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1997.
- Swanson, James. Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains: Greek (New Testament). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1997.
- Swanson, James. Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains : Hebrew (Old Testament). Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, Inc., 1997.
The DBL has several important characteristics:
- it covers all three primary Biblical languages
- it provides links to several standard resources
- it was used in the creation of the Bible sense lexicon
- it shows basic verse mapping differences
The first box shows links to:
- Strong's lexicon
- Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament
- Louw-Nida Greek-English Lexicon
The second box shows the alternative versification used by English Bibles.
The third box show parsing difference with Brown-Driver-Biggs Hebrew-English Lexicon.
The fourth box show comparison to BHS forms; elsewhere one finds Kethibh/Qere forms for text where what is written is not what is read.
In short, the DBL can serve as the starting point for input from a variety of other sources.
The DBL also has multiple indices which allows one to use if to obtain the correct format for reference search terms.
