Interlinears

Interlinear Bibles are a valuable tool for learning and studying the original language text of the Bible. There are two types of interlinear Bibles available in Logos:

  • Traditional interlinear Bibles are based on the original language text and display English equivalents to help with translation work.
  • Reverse interlinear Bibles display an English translation with the corresponding Greek and Hebrew words placed below (and out of their original order).

Note: Interlinear information is not available in every resource. The resource must be a translation and contain reverse-interlinear data. This is usually indicated in the title of the resource. You can find more information about reverse-interlinear data in a resource using the Information panel in your Library.

You can access interlinear information in two different ways: in line with the text of the resource or in a pane at the bottom of the resource.

Inline Interlinear

  1. Open an interlinear-enabled Bible.
  2. Click the Interlinear icon  in the resource panel toolbar.
  3. Click the arrow Arrow - Open icon beside the Interlinear icon and check the box beside Inline Reverse Interlinear.

    1 Turn On Inline Reverse Interlinear

  4. Click the arrow Arrow - Open icon beside Inline to expand the menu. Select the interlinear information you want to display.

    Note: The Surface box refers to the text of the (usually) English translation. The remaining options refer to the Hebrew or Greek source text.

 

Interlinear Pane

  1. Open an interlinear-enabled resource.
  2. Click the Interlinear icon  in the resource panel toolbar.
  3. Click the arrow Arrow - Open icon beside the Interlinear icon and check the box beside Reverse Interlinear Pane. A pane displaying interlinear information will appear at the bottom of the panel.2 Turn On Reverse Interlinear Pane
  4. Customize the displayed interlinear information by right-clicking in the left column of the pane and selecting the information you want to view.

    3 Customize Reverse Interlinear Pane

    The top line displays the text of your open Bible. The pane will update as you scroll, and selecting a word in your Bible highlights it in the interlinear pane. You can also click and drag the interlinear pane left and right to a desired location.
