Regarding this website in 2017 (https://mpseminars.com/find-greek-words-in-the-lxx/) which showed how to find which Greek words (LXX) were used to translate a particular word in the Hebrew text. I have the Logos resources shown in the article except I'm using ESV instead of NASB. I can duplicate up to Step H but cannot duplicate Steps J and K to get Hebrew to Greek. Can anyone help ?
Welcome to the forums. What Greek Septuagint text do you own in Logos? It should show in the drop-down box.
You need a Septuagint with morphology. So if you pick the Lexham English Septuagint (LES), it will not work but the Logos LXX will. You can make sure you have it: https://ref.ly/logosres/logoslxx?ref=BibleLXX.Ge19.19
Thank you. I bought the Greek "Septuagint with Logos Morphology" because that is what the web site article showed as working successfully ( I can still return it with the 30 day period) and I bought the Greek Lexham Septuagint (can also still return this one). Neither of them enabled the Greek to Hebrew as shown in the article.
Hi,
Thank you for the response. I bought the Greek "Septuagint with Logos Morphology". Is that the same thing as the Logos LXX ?
To show how a word is translated from one language into another (in Bible Word Study), you will need a reverse interlinear. The normal ESV English-Greek and English-Hebrew reverse interlinears will let you do this for Greek or Hebrew into English. To enable this for the LXX, you will need an LXX Greek-Hebrew reverse interlinear, such as:
(You will also need to own the corresponding LXX text.)

Yes, that is the same thing. You can find that LXX in a bundle with the reverse interlinears here: https://www.logos.com/product/249858/septuagint-rahlfs-with-reverse-interlinear
(I think dynamic pricing should bring the price down to reflect your existing purchase of the LXX text.)
Do you have this?

Thank you!. Your suggestion worked. I purchased the Lexham Greek-Hebrew Reverse InterIinear Septuagint as you suggested. I am now able show a summary of how a given Hebrew word was translated into Greek in the LXX. This is really a bit of a "pseudo" method since we don't know exactly what the original Hebrew text was that the LXX was translated from so any figure like this has to be used with caveats...but it's still a helpful starting point for a word study. (Note: Strangely, this Lexham Greek-Hebrew LXX Reverse Interlinear integrates only with the non-Lexham Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint so I had to purchase that also ($51 w/ apparatus).) Thank you again!
I do not have that book but thank you for letting me know about it.
