What is the best way to find the Hebrew equivalent of Greek words.
Many ways.
Mine is to take advantage of the Lexham analytical lexicons, prioritizing them (for this, the LXX one). A quick right click on the greek shows me the hebrew alignment, and associated OT verse usage in the Lookup section.
The analyticals have the advantage of working without needing the lemma tagged.
I’m not at my laptop now, but here is what you could do on the mobile app to search for Hebrew and Greek equivalents:
Hope this helps!
You can also use the Lexham English Septuagint to search for Greek lexemes in the LXX Analytical Lexicon:
Here is how I check for Hebrew and Greek equivalents on the desktop:
Here is the layout that I use to study Hebrew and Greek equivalents in the Old Testament:
Here is another way that I search for Hebrew and Greek equivalents in the Old Testament:
3.Then use the cross highlighting feature to find the equivalents:
4. Then do a field/content Bible search in your created collection of Septuagints and Hebrew Bible using the Hebrew and Greek lemmas with the OR command and compare your results with the Grid analysis:
Using the field/content Bible search, you can use the INTERSECTS command to find the exact equivalents between the Hebrew and Greek lemmas in the Old Testament:
Context, Context, Context. There is generally no one to one equivalent between words in different languages. The semantic ranges of meaning may overlap but will not likely ever be an exact match. The previous suggestions will be helpful in your quest but just don’t expect what you find in one situation to mean that you can apply that equivalent word relationship in every case.
Hi @Bob Diebel,
If you like visual aid more this would be a good tool here in the Bible Word Study Panel at Septuagint Translation section.
I learn this from BibleProject & love it as they explained that due to the NT Greek being used for those who read the Septuagint in their era, then it would make sense that they use similar style of Greek back then to write & convey the message in NT. So that would mean that the semantic ranges of meaning will make more sense as the NT authors likes to refer back or quote from the OT. That's just what I learned with some sense of agreement logically & most comfortable with though, there might be better ways out there. Hope it helps !
Steps :
Right click a word → Bible Word Study → Scroll to Septuagint Translation section.

Hmm…not sure what's wrong with my post, but it needs approval for the latest information to be updated.
The previous reply was missing one more resource, here you go : https://www.logos.com/product/10494/the-old-testament-in-greek-according-to-the-septuagint

I'm reading my first book by Steven Runge (Romans) and am learning so much. I looked on Logos and then online to see if he had anything out on Ephesians which I am studying with my church. I found a listing on Best Commentaries that showed an Ephesians version published in 2018 but was not able to find anything else about…
I do a lot of traveling and I have no access to Internet in some cases. Is there a downloadable version of the app?
Any of the collections worth getting?
I am presently using a MacBook Pro for home use, and an iPad 10 for using Logos out of the home. I sometimes get frustrated with the limitations of the iPad Logos version. I am considering getting a Mac Air. I don't want to overbuy. I take care of and keep my electronic devices for a long time. For those who have the Mac…
As already asked here (but presumably buried in the thread), I would like to know from @Logos / Verbum officials, a) If Study Assistant in Verbum behaves differently from Study Assistant in Logos (given the fact that Verbum is marketed as a Catholic App). Or does that only depend on my personal inventory of resources, many…
