ἱδρύω (hidryō)

(hid-REE-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to seat firmly, establish (perfect passive participle here: 'firmly set'). From the closing prayer of Psalm 144: 'our sons as new plantings, firmly established in their youth; our daughters adorned as the likeness of a temple' — children as the true wealth of the blessed city, rooted saplings and temple-corner columns (Psalm 144:12; the psalm ends 'blessed the people whose God is the LORD,' 144:15). The 'new plantings' here are the LXX's νεόφυτα — the word Paul borrows for the recently-planted believer not yet ready for office (1 Timothy 3:6); establishment in youth is planting, not haste (Psalm 1:3).

(hee-kah-NOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — thoroughly, sufficiently (from ἱκανός, enough). The devastating 'enough' of Job's wash-scene: 'if I wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with purity, You dipped me thoroughly in filth, and my own clothes abhorred me' (Job 9:30-31) — self-cleansing overturned in one dip; even his garments recoil. The argument lands two verses later in the ache the gospel answers: 'there is no umpire between us, who might lay his hand upon us both' (Job 9:33) — the mediator Job lacked and sinners have (1 Timothy 2:5; 1 John 1:7).

thoroughly

Definition

Noun — a suppliant, one who comes pleading (the person-noun beside ἱκετηρία, supplication — the word for Christ's own 'supplications with loud crying,' Hebrews 5:7). Quoted here from the mouths of the weary: 'you said, Serving God is vain; what profit that we kept His injunctions and walked as suppliants before the face of the LORD almighty?' (Malachi 3:14) — piety audited for returns and declared a loss. The chapter's answer is a ledger of the other kind: a book of remembrance written for those who feared the LORD, 'and they shall be mine... in the day I make up my treasured possession' (Malachi 3:16-17).

suppliant
pleader

(hee-lah-REE-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make cheerful, brighten (from ἱλαρότης, cheerfulness — the family of God's beloved 'cheerful giver,' 2 Corinthians 9:7). From creation's provision-psalm: 'wine makes glad the heart of man, to make his face cheerful with oil, and bread supports the heart of man' (Psalm 104:15) — the triad of bread, wine, and oil credited directly to God's husbandry, gladness listed among His intended products. The psalm forbids a joyless doctrine of creation (1 Timothy 4:4; 6:17) — and the two table-elements of the triad end up in the Lord's own hands (Matthew 26:26-27).

to make cheerful
to brighten (the face)

(hee-lah-ROS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — cheerfully, with a bright face (adverb of the ἱλαρός family, one entry above). Eliphaz's picture of restored fellowship: 'then you shall speak openly before the LORD, looking up into the heaven cheerfully' (Job 22:26) — the LXX using παρρησιάζομαι, the New Testament's own word for bold access. The friend's map is right — delight in the Almighty, face lifted without shame — but his route (Job's supposed repentance from invented crimes, Job 22:5-9) is wrong; the true road to cheerful upward looking is the mediator's blood: 'having boldness to enter the holy places' (Hebrews 4:16; 10:19-22).

cheerfully
with bright face

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 22:26 (so then, you shall speak openly before the LORD, looking up into the heaven happily).

The tenants of fallen Babylon: 'therefore effigies shall dwell in the islands, and daughters of sirens shall dwell in them; it shall not be inhabited any longer unto the eon' (Jeremiah 50:39) — the LXX peopling the ruins with phantoms and siren-daughters where the Hebrew lists desert beasts and ostriches.

From the Amalekite's account of Gilboa: 'by chance I happened upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul was propped upon his spear, and behold, the chariots and the cavalry-commanders closed in on him' (2 Samuel 1:6). The report frames his claim to have finished the king off at Saul's own request — a story contradicting 1 Samuel 31:4-5 and calculated for reward; David takes him at his word and it costs him his life: 'your blood be on your head, for your own mouth testified against you' (2 Samuel 1:10, 15-16).

(ikh-NEV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to track, follow a scent (from ἴχνος, footprint).

(Proverbs 23:29-30) — appetite pictured as a hound working a scent, the drinker become a tracker of his own trap. The passage finishes the trail: the serpent's bite, the strange visions, and the addict's dawn resolve, 'I will seek it yet again' (Proverbs 23:32-35). The counter-tracking is wisdom's: 'seek her as silver, search for her as hidden treasure' (Proverbs 2:4; Ephesians 5:18).
