Wisdom's tree-of-life beatitude: 'she is a tree of life to all the ones holding her, and to the ones leaning upon her as upon the LORD — safe' — the Greek daring to make leaning on Wisdom and leaning on the LORD one gesture (Proverbs 3:18). The tree barred at Eden's east (Genesis 3:24) stands open in Wisdom's hand, and at the canon's end its leaves heal the nations (Revelation 22:2).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a questioning, close interrogation (sister of ἐπερώτημα, the 'appeal' of 1 Peter 3:21). The brothers' defense before Jacob: 'asking, the man asked about us and our family — does your father still live? is there a brother to you? — and we reported according to this questioning' — Joseph's controlled interrogation, question by question, steering the family toward the reunion none of them can see (Genesis 43:7).

(ep-EH-tay-os)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — yearly, annual (ἐπί + ἔτος, year). The release-law's arithmetic of gratitude: 'it shall not be hard before you when they are sent out free, for he served you six years at the yearly wage of the hireling — and the LORD your God shall bless you' — the freed bondservant valued at double a hired hand's annual rate, so the master's loss is recast as accounts already settled (Deuteronomy 15:18, with the open hand of 15:13-14). Behind the ledger stands the memory: 'you were a slave in Egypt, and the LORD redeemed you' (Deuteronomy 15:15).

Definition

The blackest line of Jeremiah's confessions: 'cursed is the day in which I was born... let it not be longed for!' — the prophet un-wishing his own birthday, in the same breath-range as Job 3, moments after singing 'He rescued the soul of the needy' (Jeremiah 20:13-14). Scripture keeps the whiplash unedited: the faithful can plummet from doxology to despair, and the call stands anyway — 'before I formed you in the belly, I knew you' (Jeremiah 1:5).

longed for
to be wished for

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 20:14 (cursed is the day in which I was birthed, the day in which my mother gave birth to me; let it not be longed for!).

to bless in His name

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 10:8 (at that time the LORD drew apart the tribe of Levi — to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD, to minister, and to invoke in His name until this day); 1 Chronicles 23:13 (Aaron was drawn apart to be sanctified holy of holies, he and his sons unto the age — to burn incense before the LORD, to minister, and to invoke in His name unto the age).

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 6:40 ("and now, O Lord, let Your eyes be open — and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place"); 2 Chronicles 7:15 ("and now My eyes shall be open — and My ears attentive to the prayer of this place").

From Zophar's portfolio of the wicked man's end: 'may all darkness wait for him; inextinguishable fire shall devour him, and may a stranger afflict his house' — the estate hoarded against every neighbor passing to someone with no name in the family (Job 20:26; Ecclesiastes 6:2 grieves the same transfer). The 'unquenchable fire' phrase-family reappears at the Jordan, in the Baptist's winnowing sermon (Matthew 3:12).

stranger
incomer

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 20:26 (may all darkness wait for him; inextinguishable fire shall devour him; and may a stranger inflict evil on his house).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — intermarriage, marriage-alliance (from ἐπιγαμβρεύω, to marry into). Joshua's farewell warning: 'if you should turn away and cleave to the remnant of these nations, and make marriage-alliances with them, and mix together with them' — then the LORD's driving-out stops, and the allies become 'snares and thorns... until you perish' (Joshua 23:12-13).

Wisdom's most fearsome sentence: 'accordingly I also will laugh at your destruction, and I will rejoice whenever ruin comes to you' — the spurned street-crier answering years of refused calls with terrible mirth (Proverbs 1:24-26), the same laughter heaven turns on conspiring kings (Psalm 2:4).

Speech is the heart's uniform.

Bildad's erasure-curse on the wicked: 'he will not be known among his people, nor will his house be preserved under heaven' — memory itself revoked, the name struck from the register (Job 18:19; Psalm 109:13 prays the same fate). Scripture's counter-ledger runs the other way: 'the Lord knows the ones being His' (2 Timothy 2:19), and the safest fame is a name 'written in the heavens' (Luke 10:20).

Qoheleth's first hard finding: 'the thing perverted is not able to be embellished, and deficiency is not able to be counted' — what is bent cannot be decorated straight; ornament is not repair (Ecclesiastes 1:15). Under the sun the crooked stays crooked ('consider the work of God — who can straighten what He has bent?', Ecclesiastes 7:13); above it stands the only remedy that is not cosmetic: 'if anyone is in Christ — new creation' (2 Corinthians 5:17).

to embellish
to adorn over

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 1:15 (the thing being perverted is not able to be embellished; and deficiency is not able to be counted).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to prevail against, overpower (ἐπί + κραταιόω, to strengthen; passive-deponent here). The premise of the threefold-cord proverb: 'if one prevails against the one, the two shall stand against him — and the three-stranded cord shall not be quickly ripped apart' (Ecclesiastes 4:12) — solitary strength loses to numbers; braided weakness beats them. The Preacher's arithmetic of companionship: better warmth, better wages, better falls — because there is a lifter (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).

to prevail against
to overpower

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 4:12 (and if one prevails against the one, the two shall stand against him).

Septuagint usage

4 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 17:18 (a man lacking sense claps his hands in pledge, becoming surety for his friend); Isaiah 55:12 ("you shall go out with joy... the mountains and hills shall break forth into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands"); Jeremiah 5:31 (the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests applauded with their hands — "and My people love to have it so"); Amos 6:5 (those at ease in Zion — clapping to the sound of the instruments, devising for themselves like David).

The humbling of Moab: 'intoxicate him, for he was magnified against the LORD; and Moab shall strike with his hand, and will be for laughter, even himself' — the proud nation made a sprawling drunk, slapping about (the Hebrew has him wallowing in his own vomit), the mocker of Israel become the mocked (Jeremiah 48:26-27). Pride's physics are fixed: 'he was magnified against the LORD' is always the setup for the fall (Proverbs 16:18; Obadiah 1:3-4).

The chapter had already preached its point at the cave's first sealing: 'do not fear... for the LORD has delivered them up' (Joshua 10:18-19, 25).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to shine forth upon (ἐπί + λάμπω, to shine). The LXX's rendering of the Branch-verse: 'in that day God shall shine forth in counsel with glory upon the earth, to exalt and to glorify the one left behind of Israel' — where the Hebrew promises 'the Branch of the LORD, beautiful and glorious,' the Greek hears a dawning (Isaiah 4:2). The two readings converge in the LXX's own habit of naming the Branch 'Ἀνατολή,' the Rising (Zechariah 3:8), and both arrive in Zechariah's benediction: 'the Dayspring from on high has visited us' (Luke 1:78-79).

to shine forth
to dawn upon

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 4:2 (in that day God shall shine forth in counsel with glory upon the earth, to exalt and to glorify the one left behind of Israel).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the upper millstone, runner-stone (ἐπί + μύλη, mill). The pledge-law's shortest mercy: 'you shall not take for security a millstone nor an upper millstone, for this one takes a life for security' — the pair of stones that grinds the day's flour counted as the household's life itself; to hold the runner-stone overnight is to pawn a family's supper (Deuteronomy 24:6). The law will not let lending reach the borrower's daily bread — the same God taught praying for it (Matthew 6:11).

From Eliphaz's night-oracle: 'if He does not trust His own servants, and considers His angels crooked in what He conceives' — the argument from heaven's own standard: if even unfallen ministers are not clean before Him, 'how much more the ones dwelling in houses of clay' (Job 4:18-19). The premise is sound and the New Testament keeps it — no creature's righteousness stands uncredited before God (Romans 3:20); the missing term was a Mediator Eliphaz's system had no room for (Job 9:33; 1 Timothy 2:5).

to conceive
to devise

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 4:18 (if even his servants he does not trust, and even considers his angels as crooked in what he thinks about).

Wisdom knows one lawful all-nighter: getting free of a foolish pledge. The urgency itself is the lesson — some entanglements are escaped, not managed (2 Timothy 2:4).

to slumber
to doze

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 6:4 (you should not give sleep to your eyes nor slumber to your eyelids).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to lodge as a guest, be entertained in a house (ἐπί + ξένος, guest). Proverbs' grim hospitality: 'the ruin of the impious is welcomed as a guest, for they do not prefer to do the just things' — destruction not breaking in but shown to its room, boarded willingly by the household's own preferences (Proverbs 21:7). Sin's end never arrives as a stranger; it was invited (James 1:14-15).

Septuagint usage

From the list of seven things the LORD detests, at its climax: 'an unjust lying witness kindles, and sends lawsuits between brothers' — perjury as arson plus postal service, false words dispatched into a family until the court does the dividing (Proverbs 6:19; the seventh abomination is the whole list's summary, 'one sowing discord between brothers'). The peacemaker-beatitude is its exact negative (Matthew 5:9).

to send upon
to dispatch besides

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 6:19 (an unjust lying witness kindles, and brings in addition judicial cases between brethren).

The borrowed axe-head's physics reversed: 'and the man of God said, Where did it fall? — and he plucked off wood and tossed it there, and the iron floated' (2 Kings 6:6). A workman's debt-crisis ('and it was borrowed!', 2 Kings 6:5) answered by a miracle of exact kindness — God's power stooping to a lost tool, wood raising iron, the gentlest resurrection-shape in the prophets (2 Kings 6:7, 'lift it out to yourself').

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 6:6 (and he plucked off wood and tossed it there, and the iron implement floated).

From the sin-offering rubrics: 'whatever its blood should be sprinkled upon — upon the cloak — that on which it was sprinkled shall be washed in a holy place' — the atoning blood so charged that a stray drop consecrates the garment it lands on (Leviticus 6:27). The blood that marked laundry under the law now 'speaks better things' over persons (Hebrews 12:24).

to sprinkle upon

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 6:27 (and to whomever of its blood should be sprinkled upon, upon the cloak — the one which should be sprinkled upon by it shall be washed in a holy place).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a saddle, pack-saddle, riding-load (from ἐπισάττω, to load upon). From the discharge-purity laws: 'every saddle upon which the one having the emission should mount will be unclean until evening' — impurity tracked even into tack and harness, contagious through whatever bears the body (Leviticus 15:9-10). The law's minute cartography of uncleanness sets up the gospel's inversion: the woman with the twelve-year flow touches Him, and purity flows backward (Mark 5:25-34).

Job's dossier-complaint: 'you sealed up my lawless deeds in a bag, and marked it if in anything I unwillingly transgressed' — sins imagined as evidence bagged, sealed, and annotated, even the accidental ones flagged (Job 14:17). The same chapter aches for the opposite filing ('you would call, and I would answer,' Job 14:15); the gospel supplies it: the handwritten record 'wiped out... nailed to the cross' (Colossians 2:14).

to mark

Septuagint usage

The Korah word: the congregation gathered against Moses and Aaron, remembered by Zelophehad's daughters as the conspiracy their father shared not — and Jeremiah's friends who rise together watching for his fall.

ἐπισυστρέφω (episystrephō)

(ep-ee-sees-TREH-fo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to gather together against, mass upon (ἐπί + σύν + στρέφω, to turn; the family of ἐπισύστασις). The morning after Korah: 'in the gathering together of the congregation against Moses and Aaron... the cloud covered the tent, and the glory of the LORD appeared' — a second mutiny within a day of the first's burial, met not by argument but by glory (Numbers 16:41-42). What follows is the priesthood's finest hour: Aaron with his censer 'standing between the dead and the living' (Numbers 16:47-48) — mediation running toward the plague, the shape of the greater Priest's whole career (Hebrews 7:25).

to mass against
to gather together upon

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 16:42 (and it came to pass in the gathering together of the congregation against Moses and Aaron... the cloud covered it, and there appeared the glory of the LORD).

ἐπισφραγίζω (episphragizō)

(ep-ee-sfrah-GID-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to set a seal upon, confirm by sealing (ἐπί + σφραγίζω, to seal). The covenant-renewal's closing formality: 'in all these things we ordain a trust, and we write it — and our rulers, our Levites, our priests put their seal upon it' — the long confession-prayer of Nehemiah 9 descending into ink and wax, repentance made documentary (Nehemiah 9:38, with the signatory roll of chapter 10). Sealed resolve broke within a generation (Nehemiah 13); the covenant that holds is sealed from the other side — 'having believed, you were sealed with the Spirit' (Ephesians 1:13).

to seal
to confirm by seal

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Nehemiah 9:38 (and in all these things we are ordained a trust, and we write it; and our rulers put a seal upon it — our Levites, our priests).
