Logos 4: Automatically Search the Septuagint for a Greek Word

Today’s post is from Morris Proctor, certified and authorized trainer for Logos Bible Software. Morris has trained thousands of Logos users at his two-day Camp Logos training seminars.

Several people have recently asked me for an easy way to search the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament) for every occurrence of a Greek lemma.

Here’s one way to do just that:

• Open an English Bible with a Reverse Interlinear option—such as the ESV—to a New Testament passage
• Right click on a word
• From the right menu select Lemma “your word”
• Select Bible Word Study
• When the Bible Word Study report opens, notice the section Septuagint Translation containing the translation ring
• Click the Greek word in the center of the ring to see very occurrence of that Greek lemma in the Septuagint!
