Tracing NT Greek words in the Septuagint

Hi Barry - and welcome to the forums

Barry Williams said:

This is probably really easy but I can't figure out how to do it.  I have Logos 6 (Silver) and would like to know how, when I read the NT Greek, I can locate that Greek word in the LXX.

Two suggestions:

1: Use the search capabilities from the right-click menu

In the example below, I right click on a word in the Greek text, ensure that "Lemma" is selected and choose "search this resource"

This will run a search of that word in the NA28

Click on where it says Nestle-Aland and enter LXX and choose a Septuagint text to run the search against that

and you get results like this

2) Use the Bible Word Study guide

Select it from the right-click menu

and you get results something like

Scroll right down to the bottom and run the Textual Search against the LXX

and you get the same results as in the first example.

Hope this helps, Graham

I followed your suggestions but discovered that when I right click on the Greek text I get fewer options to choose from. I don't have the Lemma option for example

Can you post a screenshot showing what you are right-clicking on and what options you get in the menu? Details at https://wiki.logos.com/Screenshot

using Bible Word Study Guide, I manage to scroll right down to the bottom but in Textual Search there is no LXX to select.

This may be related to the lemma issue you mentioned above so let's try and resolve that one first

Barry Williams said:

Do you think that I lack these options because I have the Silver package, and that I might have to upgrade?

You should be able to do this within Silver so should be no need to upgrade for this.

Hi Barry

You do have the lemma option there - I am highlighting it in my screenshot below

Clicking on that will provide the various options on the left-hand side
