κάβος (kabos)

(KAH-vos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a cab (the Hebrew dry-measure קַב, qab — about two pints), Greek-dressed from the Hebrew. The exchange rate of Samaria's siege-famine: 'a donkey's head for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of dove's dung for five shekels' (2 Kings 6:25) — starvation itemized down to the unclean and the unspeakable (the chapter descends further, 6:28-29). Against this market stands the word of the LORD through Elisha the next chapter: fine flour for a shekel by tomorrow at the gate (2 Kings 7:1) — scarcity and plenty both obeying His schedule (Psalm 34:10).

  • cab (qab, dry measure)
  • quarter-cab

Septuagint usage

Καδημίμ (Kadēmim)

(kah-dee-MEEM)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Loanword — the Hebrew קְדוּמִים (qedumim, 'ancient ones'), transliterated in Deborah's victory-song: 'the torrent Kishon swept them away, the torrent of antiquity, the torrent Kishon — my soul, march on in strength' (Judges 5:21). The song credits creation as combatant: stars fought from their courses (Judges 5:20), and the old riverbed rose against Sisera's nine hundred chariots (Judges 4:15) — the 'ancient' brook enlisted the day iron met the God of Israel. Creation fighting for God's people is exodus grammar (Exodus 14:24-25) and endures to the end (Revelation 12:16).

  • ancient (torrent)
  • of antiquity (qedumim)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 5:21 (the rushing stream Kishon cast them out, the rushing stream of antiquity, the rushing stream Kishon; my mighty soul shall trample them).

G2504.2

καδησίμ (kadēsim)

(kah-dee-SEEM)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Loanword — the Hebrew קְדֵשִׁים (qedeshim, the male cult-prostitutes of Canaanite fertility religion; from the root 'consecrated,' darkly — consecrated to abomination), transliterated. Josiah's reform reaches the sanctuary's own precincts: 'he demolished the house of the qedeshim that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove garments for the sacred grove' (2 Kings 23:7) — the forbidden trade (Deuteronomy 23:17) found lodged inside the temple itself, with a textile industry serving Asherah beside it. Reform that counts is this specific: not the high places only, but the corruption at the center (2 Kings 23:4-14; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17).

  • cult prostitutes (qedeshim)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 23:7 (and he demolished the house of the male prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, in which the women wove apparel there for the sacred grove).

(KAH-dee-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a small vessel, pouch, shepherd's bag (diminutive of κάδος, jar). Both occurrences hold the five smooth stones: David chose them from the rushing stream and put them in the shepherd's pouch — and out of that pouch came the one stone for the giant's forehead.

  • pouch
  • shepherd's bag

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 17:40 (he took his rod in his hand, and chose for himself five smooth stones from the rushing stream — and put them in the shepherd's canteen, the one for his provisions — and his sling in his hand); 1 Samuel 17:49 (David stretched out his hand into the canteen, and took from there one stone — and slung it, and struck the Philistine upon his forehead).

G2504.4

κάδος (kados)

(KAH-dos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a bucket, water-jar. The measuring-vessel of Isaiah 40's great comparison: 'all the nations are as a drop from a bucket, and were counted as the tilt of a balance-scale... as saliva shall they be counted' (Isaiah 40:15) — empires weighed and found weightless, one hanging droplet on the rim. The chapter aims the arithmetic at fear: the God beside whom Assyria is bucket-residue is the Shepherd carrying lambs in His bosom (Isaiah 40:11) and giving strength to the faint (Isaiah 40:29-31); the nations' drop-weight is comfort, not cosmology only (Daniel 4:35).

  • bucket
  • water-jar

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 40:15 (since all the nations are as a drop from a pail, and as the tilt of a yoke balance scale were they considered).

καθαγιάζω (kathagiazō)

(kah-thah-gee-AH-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to consecrate down, hallow fully (κατά + ἁγιάζω). The sanctifying-word at two boundaries of holiness: the gold plate, the "consecrated holy thing," set on Aaron's turban at his ordination — and the firstborn animal no man may consecrate, because it is already the LORD's.

  • to consecrate
  • to hallow

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 8:9 (he placed upon the turban, in front, the gold plate — the consecrating holy thing, as the LORD gave charge to Moses); Leviticus 27:26 (a firstborn among cattle — no man shall consecrate it, for it is the LORD's; whether calf or sheep, it is the LORD's).

(kah-thah-ree-O-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make clean, purify (by-form of καθαρίζω). The 'before' photograph in Lamentations' saddest reversal: 'her Nazirites were made cleaner than snow; they radiated more than milk; their cut was above sapphire stone' — and the next verse: 'their appearance became blacker than soot; they were not recognized in the streets' (Lamentations 4:7-8). Consecrated brightness burned down to famine-black — the visible cost of covenant-breaking written on the faces of the consecrated. The book's hinge holds even here: 'His compassions fail not, new every morning' (Lamentations 3:22-23; the whiter-than-snow washing given back at Psalm 51:7).

  • to make clean
  • to purify

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Lamentations 4:7 (her Nazirites were made clean — more than snow they radiated, more than milk were they purified; their broken pieces were above sapphire stone).

Septuagint usage

5 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 24:10 (under His feet a paved work of sapphire, as heaven itself for clearness — and the elders ate and drank); 2 Samuel 22:21 ("according to my righteousness and the cleanness of my hands He repaid me"); Psalm 18:20 (the same confession sung); Psalm 18:24 ("according to the cleanness of my hands before His eyes").

(kah-thee-LO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to nail down, fasten through with nails (κατά + ἧλος, nail); imperative here. The startling petition of the longest psalm: 'Nail my flesh with the fear of You, for I am afraid of Your judgments' (Psalm 119:120) — where the Hebrew says the flesh bristles (shudders) with awe, the Greek prays it fastened: flesh pinned still so it can no longer run. The church has always heard the crucifixion-grammar of discipleship in this Greek line: 'those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions' (Galatians 5:24; 2:20) — mortification not as self-harm but as flesh nailed where fear of God, and finally the love of the Nailed One, holds it.

  • to nail down
  • to fasten with nails

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 119:120 (nail up my flesh because of the fear of you! for because of your judgments I feared).

κάθιδρος (kathidros)

(KAH-thid-ros)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — drenched in sweat (κατά + ἱδρώς, sweat). Jeremiah's portrait of unrepentance at full gallop: 'there is no man repenting of his evil, saying, What have I done? The runner failed to stop from his course — as a sweating horse in his snorting' (Jeremiah 8:6) — sin not as drift but as momentum, lathered and accelerating, past the point where the rider pulls rein. The verse's ache is the missing question ('What have I done?') — the one the prodigal finally asks in the far country: 'he came to himself' (Luke 15:17), proof that the gallop can be stopped by grace if not by exhaustion (Jeremiah 8:4-5).

  • drenched in sweat

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 12:18 (He seats kings upon thrones — and He girded their loins with a belt); Proverbs 18:16 (a man's gift widens him — and sits him by princes).

  • to guide

The jewelry is the theology: adornment worn for the wrong audience, gifts from the true Husband spent on the rivals (Hosea 2:8). The chapter's stunning sequel dresses her again — 'I will betroth you to me forever... in righteousness and in mercy' (Hosea 2:19-20; Ezekiel 16:11-13).

A feast recovered after generations of neglect (2 Chronicles 30:5, 26) — and so glad it voted itself a second week (30:23).

The sluggard's liturgy, recited past the ruined vineyard: 'a little I slumber, a little I sleep soundly, a little I fold my hands to my breast' — and the observer draws the lesson: poverty arrives 'as a highwayman' (Proverbs 24:33-34, repeating 6:10-11). The triple 'a little' is the word's sermon: ruin negotiated in small installments, each one reasonable. Its opposite number is the watching the Lord commands — 'that he not find you sleeping' (Mark 13:36; Romans 13:11).

The people carried as jewels on the mediator's chest is the office fulfilled in the Priest who bears His own on His heart within the veil (Hebrews 9:24) — and the same twelve-stone blaze reappears as the city's foundations (Revelation 21:19-20).

The nervous last clause of Artaxerxes' stop-work order against Jerusalem: 'take guard... lest the ruin multiply unto harm for kings' (Ezra 4:22) — the wall halted by correspondence, empire protecting itself from a rubble-heap city on file as rebellious (Ezra 4:15). The letters win for a while; then the eye of God outranks the archive: 'the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, and they could not stop them' (Ezra 5:5), and the next king's search of the same archives funds the temple instead (Ezra 6:1-8).

Noun — villainy, evil-working (κακός + ἔργον; the abstract of κακοῦργος, malefactor — the word for the two crucified beside the Lord, Luke 23:33). David's plea from inside the ambush: 'O Lord, when will You look on? Restore my soul from their villainy — my only one from the lions' (Psalm 35:17) — 'my only one' (μονογενής) being his one unrepeatable life, thrown among predators for the crime of having done them good (Psalm 35:12-14). The psalm's grievance became the Messiah's own: 'they hated me without cause' (Psalm 35:19, quoted at John 15:25) — the Righteous One among the malefactors, His soul restored from the lion's mouth (Psalm 22:21).

The second half of Scripture's most-quoted warning: 'before destruction, insolence takes the lead; and before a calamitous downfall, evil thinking' (Proverbs 16:18) — the Greek pairing hybris with a corrupted mind as ruin's two outriders. The order is the diagnosis: the fall is lost first in the thinking (Proverbs 16:5). Its cure is the mind that went the other direction — 'let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus,' who went down in order to be exalted (Philippians 2:5-9; James 4:6).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a beetle, wood-borer. The second witness in Habakkuk's woe on blood-built houses: 'the stone shall cry out from the wall, and the beetle from the wood shall utter its sounds' (Habakkuk 2:11) — where the Hebrew has the rafter answering the stone, the Greek gives the testimony to the worm in the beam. Either way the woe stands: a house built by plunder is wired throughout with witnesses for the prosecution (Habakkuk 2:9-12; James 5:3-4). The Lord used the same evidentiary principle on Palm Sunday: 'if these were silent, the stones would cry out' (Luke 19:40).

  • wood-borer

κάπηλος (kapēlos)

(KAH-pee-los)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a huckster, retail wine-dealer (the person-noun of καπηλεύω, to peddle). Isaiah's opening audit of Jerusalem: 'your silver is worthless; your peddlers mix the wine with water' (Isaiah 1:22) — the LXX naming the adulterators where the Hebrew states the adulteration: currency debased, wine cut, a city retailing diluted goods as genuine. Paul reaches for exactly this trade-word for the ministry he refuses: 'we are not as the many, peddling (καπηλεύοντες) the word of God, but as of sincerity... we speak in Christ' (2 Corinthians 2:17) — watered wine and watered word, the same racket.

  • huckster
  • wine-peddler

(KAP-pah-ris)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the caper-berry (the appetite-sharpening condiment of the ancient table). From Qoheleth's allegory of old age: 'the almond blossoms, and the locust grows heavy, and the caper-berry is scattered — for man has gone to his eternal home, and the mourners circle in the market' (Ecclesiastes 12:5) — white-headed almond, dragging limbs, and desire itself failing at last; even the condiment cannot rouse it. The Preacher's counsel stands at the paragraph's head: 'remember your Creator in the days of your youth' (Ecclesiastes 12:1) — before the caper fails, and the dust returns to the earth and the spirit to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7).

  • caper-berry

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 12:5 (and the almond shall bloom, and the locust shall thicken, and the caper shall be dispersed; because the man went to his eternal home, and the ones mourning circled in the market).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to take the heart, to hearten (from καρδία).

The operative verb of Babylon's decreed last banquet: 'in their heat I will give them a drink, and I will intoxicate them so that they should be stupefied, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and in no way be roused, says the LORD' (Jeremiah 51:39) — drunkenness deepening past revelry into a sleep with no morning; the feast of Daniel 5 drank this verse to the bottom (Daniel 5:30). The counter-summons runs through Scripture: 'awake, you who sleep... and Christ will shine on you' (Ephesians 5:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:6-7).

(kar-PAH-see-nos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of karpas, fine cotton or flax-stuff (from the Persian-derived Hebrew כַּרְפַּס, karpas).

The narrator's patience with the fabric list is quiet satire: all this hanging splendor, and the realm is steered by wounded vanity within the week (Esther 1:12, 19-22) — while the unseen King writes the real story through an orphan girl (Esther 4:14).

  • of fine cotton (karpas)
  • of flax-stuff

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 1:6 (being adorned in fine linen, and cotton being stretched upon lines of fine linen and of purple, upon studs of gold and silver, upon columns of Parian marble).

(kar-PEE-zo-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to gather fruit, take the produce of (from καρπός, fruit).

καρπόβρωτος (karpobrōtos)

(kar-PO-vro-tos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — bearing edible fruit (καρπός, fruit + βιβρώσκω, to eat). The siege-works exemption: 'the tree which you know is not fruit-bearing, this you shall destroy and cut for the mound — but the fruit trees you shall not cut' (Deuteronomy 20:19-20), grounded in the Torah's disarming question: 'is the tree of the field a man, that it should be besieged by you?' War itself is placed under stewardship — the army that eats from a tree may not kill it. A law that will not let soldiers destroy an orchard measures the God who spares Nineveh partly for its cattle (Jonah 4:11) and feeds enemies rather than consuming them (2 Kings 6:22-23).

  • fruit-bearing
  • with edible fruit

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 20:20 (but the tree which you know that it is not fruit-bearing, this you shall annihilate, and you shall cut it, and shall build a siege mound at the city).

Septuagint usage

56 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 29:25, 38-41 (the ordination and the daily lambs); Exodus 30:9; Leviticus 1:4, 9, 13, 17 (the burnt offering); Exodus 40:6, 10, 29.

(kar-teh-RO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make strong, harden (by-form of καρτερέω, to endure). From the idol-biography of Isaiah 44: the craftsman 'strengthened for himself a tree from the forest which the LORD planted — a pine; and the rain lengthened it' (Isaiah 44:14). The satire's finest cut is in the subordinate clause: the idol's lumber was God's sapling, watered by God's rain, before half became firewood and half became a god (Isaiah 44:15-17). Idolatry never creates; it only repurposes gifts against the Giver — 'he feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside' (Isaiah 44:20; Romans 1:25).

  • to make strong
  • to harden

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 44:14 (and he strengthened for himself the tree from the grove which the LORD planted — a pine; and the rain lengthened it).

The Gardener's habit of going down to inspect for fruit runs the canon — from Eden's evening walk (Genesis 3:8) to the fig tree given one more year (Luke 13:6-9) and the vinedresser Father (John 15:1-2).

  • walnut-tree
  • nut-garden

Septuagint usage

This is the psalm the New Testament crowns with divinity: 'Your throne, O God, is forever... therefore God, Your God, has anointed You' (Psalm 45:6-7, quoted of the Son at Hebrews 1:8-9) — and cassia belonged to the holy anointing oil itself (Exodus 30:24).
