有人已經建立，或目前正在建立一個自訂的 Biblical Terms Tool（聖經術語工具）清單，其中包含聖經中所有的人名，並將每個人名與舊約和新約中所有包含該人名的經文引用關聯起來嗎？
追蹤在 Major Biblical Terms（主要聖經術語）中標記為「Name」（人名）的項目，對於檢查舊約和新約內部的一致性非常有用，但無法跨約檢查——這必須逐案處理。當然，可以透過篩選「人名」並顯示兩個約的術語，然後按英文欄位排序，來操作清單以便輕鬆比較。這使得找出跨約使用的「相同」人名變得相對簡單：

但我認為更好的解決方案是一個預先進行組合的獨立清單。這裡有幾個挑戰：
- 將指代不同人物的名字分開（目前 Major Biblical Terms 清單就是這樣做的）
- 僅匹配跨約指代同一人物的名字（與 #1 相關）
- 那些看似指代同一人物，但在希臘文或希伯來文中拼寫有兩種以上不同方式的名字的問題（是該拆分還是合併？——我猜合併更好，如果譯者堅持要反映這些差異，他們可以從希伯來文或希臘文清單中手動挑選相關項目，並在統一人名清單中取消該人名的星號標記）
毫無疑問，還有其他我沒想到的問題。但儘管有這些挑戰，我認為這樣的清單會很有幫助。
Has anyone created, or is anyone currently creating, a custom Biblical Terms Tool list that has every name in the Bible, with each name associated with all references containing that name in both Old and New Testaments?
Tracking items marked as “Name” in Major Biblical Terms is great for checking consistency within the OT and NT, but not across both – that has to be done on a case by case basis. One can, of course, manipulate the lists for easy comparison, by filtering for Names and showing terms from both testaments, then sorting by the English column. That makes it relatively straightforward to find the “same” name used across testaments:

But I think a better solution would be a separate list that does the combinations ahead of time. A few challenges:
- Keeping names separate that refer to different people (as is currently done in the Major Biblical Terms list)
- Matching only those names across testaments that refer to the same person (related to #1)
- Problems of names that seem to refer to the same person but are spelled two+ different ways in Greek or in Hebrew (better to split or to glom? - I suspect it’s better to glom, and if translators are committed to reflecting differences, they can hand-pick the relevant items from a Hebrew or Greek list and unstar the name in the Unified Names list)
And no doubt there are other problems I’m not thinking of. But in spite of the challenges, I think such a list would be helpful.
