Nice! Thanks for this. It's a great hack. I have always thought Logos needs much more built-in flexibility with the keyboard. Many software developers use a text editor called vim that essentially allows you to edit text files without ever lifting your fingers from the keyboard to touch the mouse. If you watch someone who is experienced using it, it can look like magic as the code rapidly transforms. It takes years to master (the manual is hundreds of pages long), but with mastery comes a tremendous amount of efficiency. I can think of so many ways Logos would benefit from something like vim keybindings. One other thing I wish Logos would do is offer Linux support (or at the very least make the web app more fully-featured). When I want to do something mildly advanced in Logos, I have to run Windows in a virtual machine. I know Logos + Linux users are in the minority, but Linux isn't just for computer nerds. Many Christians in the majority world use Linux because they can't afford a Windows license or to be in the endless hardware upgrade cycle of the Apple ecosystem. Linux can run quite fast on decade old machines because it doesn't come with a lot of the bloat that comes with each additional Microsoft/Apple upgrade. One thing would solve both these issues: making Logos open source. The Christian world would so benefit from a company supported open source library application that programmers around the world could contribute to. Much of the world's best software today follows this kind of model. One can only hope... :)

Oooh this is beautiful. I've stopped using bibleworks because I had to change computers and haven't figured out how to get it to work. I love logos, but I usually find myself using Google to search instead of Logos. This is awesome.

Am very grateful, have used Alfred for years. Appreciate this time-saving info!

This is great! You've really taken these scripts to the next level! I've loved using some similar scripts in Accordance and it saves me so much time! I'll definitely share this video with my Logos friends! P.S. In Accordance scripture references you should be able to use a period in place of a colon.

Hey Mark. Thank you for this hack. Very cool. Love logos. I use it every day. This definitely adds to the functionality for sure! Will be using this. Just wanted to say also thank you for all of your other content as well. I wouldn’t say that i am KJV only necessarily. I do love my KJV but you have inspired me to try other translations and have eased my mind about a lot of the things KJV only people say about other translations. I’ve found that the NASB and ESV are pretty nice to use.

Good morning Mark (Australian time)… It is a pity that I was already invested in Olive Tree when our ‘on-line’ paths crossed… otherwise… :)

Mark, I want to move forward with a Logos software platform purchase. I am a layperson seeking to study deeper and to prepare things such as an expository Men’s Bible study on occasion. I would very much appreciate some advice in getting started. I’m sure you get many such requests but if you can assist it would be a great help. The online analysis tool suggests I would be a candidate for a Silver or Gold package. Although a bronze package would be an affordable option at this time. If I were to start at Bronze can adding to it be a reasonable approach? Would it cost me much more in the long run? What about starting with Logos 10 Disciple Premium as I saw you mentioned but in a KZread video? Frankly the website didn’t showcase this without your link so it is hard to compare the options. Thank You, Brother in Christ, Kevin

Speaking of Bibleworks, does Logos have the equivalent of BGT (a single file combination of the LXX and GNT)? I have not seen a convenient way of searching for a Greek word across both testaments with single result set.

I am posting this here because I failed to find a point of contact elsewhere: I think I found a phrase in the KJV that might be of interest At the beginning of the "eulogy" in Isaiah 14:4-21, in 14:4 to be exact, the KJV reads "The Golden City Ceased", modern translations universally read something along the lines of "insolence" (the Septuagint also has this reading!) I think it might interesting as something along the lines of the tambourine in Job because I have no idea how the KJV translators came to the reading of "Golden City"

@MAMoreno

Жыл бұрын

The modern translations typically follow the Dead Sea Scrolls here. The Masoretic text is deemed incomprehensible due to the presence of a hapax legomenon (a word that appears only once). It contains the consonants for the Hebrew word for "gold," which explains the KJV's interpretation. The Vulgate may have influenced Coverdale to go in this direction, as it uses the word "tributum" (i.e. tribute, a payment that may come in the form of gold). Both the KJV and the RV/ASV offer "exactress" as an alternative gloss to "city" in their marginal notes. Young uses the masculine form, "exactor," in his translation. These ideas of "city," "tribute," and "exactor" come together in the Geneva Bible's attempt at making sense of the Masoretic text: "gold thirsty Babel." The NKJV and MEV stick with "golden city," while just about every other major translation follows the RSV in emending the text by one letter.
