I knew I only got one on my libray and my seminarey think they very important. Would you consider get more option such as for nrsv or esv verson of this please ? Such as

1.        Kohlenberger, John R.  The NRSV Concordance Unabridged:  Including the Apocryphal/Deuteroncanoical Books.  Grand Rapids:  Zondervan, 1991. 

 

2.       Morrison, Clinton.  An Analytical Concordance to the Revised Standard Version of the New Testament.  Philadelphia:  Westminster, 1979. 

 

Personally, I can't think of anything more useless in Logos than a concordance.  If you need to find some particular word, all you need to do is to run a search on it.  It's about as useful as the proverbial appendages on a boar to have a concordance.

A bit OT, but illustrating the value of a 3rd language (concordance) to evaluate 2 earlier languages, Lev 4:12 in the illustration above is interesting. Some translations go with 'rest' (as NASB, ESV, ISV, etc) while other ones go with 'whole'. Then you have NET (also Tanakh) that wrings its pages and goes with both ('all the rest').

I suppose NET felt a little guilty and so had a lengthy note: 'All of v. 11 is a so-called casus pendens (also known as an extraposition or a nominative absolute), which means that it anticipates the next verse, being the full description of “all (the rest of) the bull” (lit. “all the bull”) at the beginning of v. 12 (actually after the first verb of the verse; see the next note below).'

Interestingly the Massorah lists further connects on the usage.

This would be a good example to check how the Lexham Discourse OT handles these two verses next week.

Normally, I'd agree since the Logos search function is pretty useful. However the Logos power lookup combined with concordances makes for very fast lookup across both the OT and NT at the same time, including quick drilldowns into which hebrew or greek is involved. Don't know if many people know this.

In the instance below, I prioritized the NASB concordance to catch english double-clicks. Then while casually reading in Hebrews, I double-clicked 'rest' which brought up the concordance, with the power lookup bringing in all the uses in both the OT and NT plus quick references to which hebrew or greek word is involved.

Obviously a formal search, if you knew how (the double lookups at the same time), might be more accurate, but when you just want a quick lookup, a concordance can really speed up study. This is especially true when you're in a commentary or regular book where a right-click won't quickly do a Bible search.

I would agree except you can easily save a search as a passage list. And get the list that way, even adding additional translations for comparison.
