INFER and FUZZY not finding LXX reference in GNT

2 Tim 2.19 has, "ἔγνω κύριος τοὺς ὄντας αὐτου" = the LORD knows those who are his, which is quoting LXX Num. 16:5 (ἔγνω ὁ θεὸς τοὺς ὄντας αὐτοῦ).

 

But I can't get from 2Tim to Num. 16 using INFER or a FUZZY search. Is this because Numbers has "God" instead of "LORD"? Shouldn't INFER 6 or FUZZY 1 find this? I'm searching "γινώσκω κύριος ὁ εἰμί αὐτός" (lexical form) in LXX, and I just get pointed to Isa. 56:6.

 

Been a while since I used INFER in depth, so the problem may be me.

Check your INFER search settings to make sure it is allowing one word to be missing from the string. If you turn down INFER to 3 you’ll get it. Your search string has two missing words and that’s the problem. But 3 or 4 word string instead of 6 will get it
