4.1 Concordances Their Usages
3
4.1.1 Definition of Terms

• The three principal terms are analytical,
  exhaustive, and complete. An analytical
  concordance is one in which the words of the
  translated Bible are presented alphabetically,
  with passages in which each term occurs being
  apportioned under the respective Hebrew, Latin
  (in the case of certain deuterocanonical texts),
  or Greek words underlying the term.

4
4.1.1 Definition of Terms

• An exhaustive concordance is one that lists
  passages in sequence under a headword, without
  classifying under the various original terms, and
  in some way accounts for every occurrence of a
  word in the translation, including the word if
  and other frequently used conjunctions,
  relatives, and particles.

5
4.1.1 Definition of Terms

• A complete concordance is one in which every
  word is cited and at least one passage is
  indicated for a word, as is the case especially
  for words that occur hundreds or thousands of
  times. Danker, Multipurpose Tools for Bible
  Study, p. 1

4.1.5 Use of Concordances

• 4.1.5.1 As a Systematizer
• 4.1.5.2 Linguistic Contribution
• The lexicographer considers the way a word is
  used and takes snapshots from various angles. A
  concordance helps one do what the lexicographer
  does but permits its user to look anew at the
  evidence. Danker, 17

15
4.1.5 Use of Concordances

• If it is the task of a concordance to help one
  etch more clearly the features of words, then it
  is especially useful for chalking the line that
  separates synonyms. Danker, 17-18
