The covenant's portrait of secret apostasy: 'if, hearing the words of this curse, one should bless himself in his heart, saying, Sacred things shall happen to me, though in the wandering of my heart I shall walk' — the man who hears the oath and privately exempts himself (Deuteronomy 29:19). The next verse is among the Torah's most severe: 'the LORD will not be willing to pardon him' — presumption upon grace being the one posture grace does not underwrite (Deuteronomy 29:20; Romans 2:4-5).

Moses descending to the calf-feast: 'Moses saw the people, that they had been let loose — for Aaron let them loose — a derision to their opponents' — the priestly brother's permissiveness pricing the whole camp as enemy entertainment (Exodus 32:25). Unguarded worship is the world's best comedy about God's people; Moses' gate-cry in the next verse begins the recovery (Exodus 32:26; Titus 2:7-8).

laughingstock
object of derision

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 32:25 (and Moses seeing the people, that they have been dispersed — for Aaron dispersed them — to be a derision to their opponents).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the forearm, the arm at the hand (ἐπί + χείρ, hand). The disarming of Moab in one verse: 'the horn of Moab was broken, and his forearm was destroyed, says the LORD' — horn and arm, the Bible's two anatomy-words for power: the one that gores and the one that grips, both shattered together (Jeremiah 48:25; Psalm 75:10; Ezekiel 30:21 does the same surgery on Pharaoh). Strength has a Breaker; the arm that is never broken belongs to the LORD (Isaiah 53:1; Luke 1:51).

Elihu's unanswerable commission: 'will you solidify with Him the sky for things grown old — strong as the appearance of a poured casting?' — the heavens as molten metal poured and hardened to mirror-finish (Job 37:18; the Hebrew asks the same of the 'firm skies, like a cast mirror').

The second temple's logistics running on a pagan signature: money to quarriers and fabricators, food and oil to Sidon and Tyre, 'to bring cedar wood from Lebanon by sea to Joppa — by the decree of Cyrus king of the Persians' (Ezra 3:7). The route and the cedar deliberately retrace Solomon's (2 Chronicles 2:16); the authorization retraces something higher — 'the LORD stirred the spirit of Cyrus' (Ezra 1:1; Proverbs 21:1).

decree
resolve

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezra 3:7 (to bring forth wood of cedars from Lebanon by sea to Joppa, by the decree of Cyrus king of the Persians concerning this).

From David's civil register: Azmaveth over the king's storehouses, 'and over the storehouses in the country, and in the cities, and in the towns, and in the estates, and in the towers — Jehonathan' (1 Chronicles 27:25) — the kingdom's plenty administered down to the last farm-hamlet and watchtower. The chapter's quiet doctrine: stewardship is granular; even a psalm-singing kingdom keeps inventories (1 Chronicles 27:25-31; Proverbs 27:23-24).

farmstead
estate

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 27:25 (and over the storehouses in the country, and in the cities, and in the towns, and in the estates, and in the towers, was Jehonathan the son of Uzziah).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun/adjective — a desert-dweller, solitary of the wilderness (from ἐρημία, desert; here of the wild desert donkey). Zophar's deflating anthropology: 'man is over-confident with words — but a mortal born of woman is equal to a desert donkey' — humanity in its own strength ranked with the untamable wilderness ass (Job 11:12; the LORD Himself later celebrates that creature's freedom, Job 39:5-8). The insult carries a truth Zophar misapplies: apart from God, the freest man is a wild colt; the promise is a new heart, not a better halter (Jeremiah 31:33).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a courtesan, mistress (feminine of ἑταῖρος, companion).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — companionship, fellowship of comrades (from ἑταῖρος, companion). The friendship-proverb at its hinge: 'a man of friends is for companionship — and there is a friend cleaving closer than a brother' (Proverbs 18:24) — sociability is common; covenant-friendship is rarer than kinship, a cleaving (προσκολλάω, the marriage-verb of Genesis 2:24) that outholds blood. The proverb's open slot is filled by name in the upper room: 'no longer do I call you servants... I have called you friends' (John 15:13-15).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a chastisement, scourging affliction (from ἐτάζω, to test, examine). The first plagues-on-Pharaoh in Scripture — four hundred years early: 'and the LORD chastised Pharaoh with great and severe chastisements, and his house, on account of Sarai the wife of Abram' (Genesis 12:17) — the bride-in-the-harem crisis resolved by God alone, while Abram profits from his own half-truth. The scene is the exodus in miniature (a Pharaoh, plagues, and departure with wealth, Genesis 12:16-20; 15:14) — the pattern rehearsed on the promise-bearers' behalf, deserved by neither.
