The Bible uses both "God of ...Jacob" and "God of Israel". How often does it say each version? Is there a place I can look up the actual references?

1Is the question in the title the same one as in the body? – Kazark Dec 21 '12 at 02:54

Sorry, the question is in the title and I worded it badly. I will edit it now. – Sam Dec 23 '12 at 18:15

These types of questions are off topic as per this meta discussion. – Dan Jun 20 '14 at 15:55

There are many ways to determine the quantity of occurrences of a particular phrase in the Bible. The way I often do it is:
- Go to www.blueletterbible.org.
- You will see a box under "Bible Dictionary/ Search."
- Within quotes, type in the word or phrase you would like to search for. For example: "God of Israel." This will yield results for that exact phrase.
- For a less specific search, you can remove the quotes.
The search for "God of Israel" under the "Primary Results" tab yielded: "God of Israel" occurs 203 times in 201 verses in the KJV.
Hope that helps.
I know this is only a partial answer, but doing this in a comment would not have proved beneficial.
