Bible Word Study Help
Hi. I have a class on Hebrew where the professor is trying to get us to look at a particular Hebrew word using various helps. Well I came across Logos' Bible Word Study if you right click on the word you are interested in, and it pulled up that word and its definition as normal. But the same word has two different definitions (and I am fine with that), but it is a definition that is not tied to a resource. Well I know a number of you have beenthrough college and seminary and you know how academic it is. There is nothing to cite so where did Logos get the definition from, and how am I supposed to cite the source other than a generic "Logos Software"? That is not good enough. It needs to be able to be found specifically. Thanks for your help, I appreaciate it!

Hi Steve
The particular section of the Guide you are looking at it the "Senses" section - which is populated by information from the Faithlife Bible Sense Lexicon (BSL)
If you click on one of the terms - such as "deep shadow" the BSL will open to the appropriate place .
If you then click on the small "i" symbol at the top right you get to the Information Pane which includes Citation details which you can copy
Does this give you what you want?

Is this the same way to find the reference for word-for-word definitions?

Hi Amanda - and welcome to the forums

Do you mean the word-by-word section in the Exegetical Guide?
If so that is done differently with most definitions simply being taken from various lexicons.
If this doesn't answer your question please start a new thread outlining what you are asking

Yes, welcome to the forums Amanda.
Here is an example of what Graham was saying.

Thank you for this. It is much closer to what I am looking for and at least the prof can see the definition for himself even though there is no other source. It also seems to give a footnotes version and a bibliography version and I can choose which on I want to copy. Thanks again. I did not know the Bible Sense Lexicon had a bibliography.
