G2701

κατατρέχω (katatréchō)

(kat-at-rekh'-o | ka-ta-TREH-hoh | ka-ta-TRAY-hoh)

Definition

from G2596 and G5143; to run down, i.e., hasten from a tower; run down.

to run down, hasten down

G2701.1

κατατρίβω (katatribō)

(kah-tah-TREE-vo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to wear away, rub down (κατά + τρίβω). Forty years of unworn sandals — Moses' proof of daily providence in the wilderness — set against Proverbs' late repentance, when the flesh of the body wears away and the neglected warnings are finally heard.

to wear away
to wear out

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 29:5 ("He led you forty years in the wilderness — your garments did not grow old, and your sandals did not wear away from your feet"); Proverbs 5:11 (and you shall repent at the last — whenever the flesh of your body wears away).

G2701.2

κατατρυφάω (katatryphaō)

(kah-tah-tree-FAH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to delight richly in, revel in (κατά + τρυφάω, to live delicately). The Psalter's command of joy — "Revel in the LORD, and He will give you the requests of your heart" — delight itself made duty and gift; and the meek of the same psalm, who shall inherit the earth and revel upon a multitude of peace (the verse behind Matthew 5:5).

to delight richly
to revel in

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 37:4 ("revel in the LORD — and He will give you the requests of your heart"); Psalms 37:11 (but the gentle shall inherit the earth — and they shall revel upon a multitude of peace).

G2701.3

κατατρώγω (katatrōgō)

(kah-tah-TRO-go)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to gnaw down, devour (κατά + τρώγω, to gnaw — the vivid eating-verb of John 6:54). The cup drunk past its bottom: 'you shall drink it and strain it out, and gnaw its potsherds' (Ezekiel 23:34) — not only the dregs but the broken vessel itself chewed, judgment internalized to the last fragment. The hyperbole measures how completely the sentence must be swallowed once God has spoken it ('for I have spoken'). That totality is what makes the gospel's cup-exchange weigh so much: He drained what we had mixed (Isaiah 51:17, 22-23 — the cup taken out of the hand of the staggering and given to her tormentors).

to gnaw down
to devour

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 23:34 (and you shall drink it and strain it out, and his potsherds you shall devour; for I have spoken, says Adonai the LORD).

G2701.4

κατατυγχάνω (katatynchanō)

(kah-tah-teen-KHAH-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to attain, light upon what one sought (κατά + τυγχάνω, to hit upon). From Job's birthday-curse, on those who long for death 'as men digging for treasure — and they become overjoyed if they should attain it; death to a man is rest' (Job 3:21-22, with the Greek's closing epigram). Job's despair maps real country: sufferers for whom the grave reads as the only rest left. Scripture neither scolds the ache nor leaves it there — rest is relocated from the grave to a Person ('come to me... and I will give you rest,' Matthew 11:28), and dying itself is re-valued: 'to depart and be with Christ is far better' (Philippians 1:21-23; Revelation 14:13).

to attain
to light upon

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 3:22 (and they become overjoyed if they should attain it; death to a man is rest).

G2701.5

καταφαίνομαι (kataphainomai)

(kah-tah-FEH-no-my)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to appear (to someone), seem plainly (κατά + φαίνομαι, to appear). The dative-verdict at Jacob's bedside: seeing his father's right hand on Ephraim the younger, 'it appeared grievous to Joseph,' and he took hold of the hand to move it (Genesis 48:17) — the most clear-sighted man in Genesis misreading the one scene where crossed hands were the meaning (Genesis 48:14, 19: 'I know, my son, I know'). Election keeps overriding what appears right to the observer — younger over elder from Abel to David (Genesis 25:23; 1 Samuel 16:7) — and blind Jacob, seeing by faith, 'worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff' (Hebrews 11:21).

to appear (to one)
to seem plainly

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 48:17 (and Joseph, seeing that his father put his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it appeared wrong to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father to remove it).

G2701.6

καταφερής (katapherēs)

(kah-tah-feh-REES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — sloping, downhill; as noun, the descent. The geography of the first defeat in Canaan: the men of Ai 'pursued them from the gate... and struck them on the descent; and the heart of the people was terrified, and became as water' (Joshua 7:5) — thirty-six men lost on a downhill chase, and a nation's courage melting because one man's hidden theft had turned God from the camp (Joshua 7:1, 11-12). The slope is the sermon: after Jericho's walls, a garment and two hundred shekels buried in a tent floor are enough to send Israel downhill (Joshua 7:21; 1 Corinthians 5:6 — a little leaven).

sloping
the descent

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 7:5 (and they pursued them from the gate until they defeated them; and they struck them by the incline, and the heart of the people was terrified, and it became as water).

G2702

καταφέρω (kataphérō)

to flee away, flee for refuge

G2703.1

καταφθάνω (kataphthanō)

(kah-tahf-THAH-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to overtake suddenly, catch up upon (κατά + φθάνω, to arrive first). The closing of the trap at Gibeah: Benjamin 'turned before the men of Israel to the way of the wilderness, and the battle overtook them' (Judges 20:42) — the feigned retreat reversed, the ambush's smoke rising behind them (20:38-41), no road left that the war had not already reached. The civil-war chapters are Judges' final exhibit of a kingless people (Judges 21:25); doom that 'overtakes' is the fate Scripture holds out for all presumption — 'sudden destruction, as labor pains' (1 Thessalonians 5:3) — and blessing that overtakes, its redeemed reversal (Deuteronomy 28:2).

to overtake suddenly
to catch upon

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 20:42 (and they leaned before the men of Israel toward the way of the wilderness, and the battle fell unawares upon them).

G2704

to destroy
- to be destroyed, to perish

G2704.1

καταφθορά (kataphthora)

(kah-tah-ftho-RAH)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — corruption, utter decay, destruction (from καταφθείρω above, to destroy utterly). Wrath turned back short of it for humbled Rehoboam, the ransom-psalm's impossibility — no man can pay for life so as not to see corruption — and the fate that hunts the violent down.

corruption
utter decay

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 12:12 (when Rehoboam humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, so as not to bring about complete corruption — and conditions in Judah were good); Psalms 49:9 (the ransom of a soul is too costly — that he should live on forever and not see corruption); Psalms 140:11 (a slanderous man shall not be established in the earth — evil shall hunt the violent man down to corruption).

G2705

καταφιλέω (kataphiléō)

(kat-af-ee-leh'-o | ka-ta-fee-LEH-oh | ka-ta-fee-LAY-oh)

Definition

from 2596 and 5368; to kiss earnestly; kiss.

to kiss much, kiss again and again, kiss tenderly

For the Septuagint (ABP) words at this number, see G2705.1–G2705.3 below.

G2705.1

καταφλέγω (kataphlegō)

(kah-tah-FLEH-go)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to burn up utterly, consume in flame (κατά + φλέγω). Both occurrences fall in the Psalter's history-psalms: the hail-storm's fire burning up in the land of Egypt — and the flame that burned up the sinners of Korah's company when the earth had closed over the others.

to burn up
to consume in flame

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 105:32 (He appointed their rains into hail — fire burning up in their land); Psalms 106:18 (and fire was lit in their congregation — a flame burned up sinners).

G2705.2

καταφλέγω (kataphlegō)

(kah-tah-FLEH-go)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to burn up, set ablaze (κατά + φλέγω, to blaze). From the rescue-theophany of Psalm 18: 'smoke ascended in his anger, and fire from before him; coals were set ablaze by him' (Psalm 18:8) — heaven catching fire because one hemmed-in man cried out (18:6). The psalm's scale-inversion is its gospel: cherub-riding, mountain-shaking descent (18:9-15), all to arrive at one verse of purpose — 'he drew me out of many waters... he rescued me, because he delighted in me' (Psalm 18:16-19). The God who is 'a consuming fire' (Hebrews 12:29) burns on behalf of those who call (Psalm 50:3; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-8).

to set ablaze
to burn up

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 18:8 (smoke ascended in his anger, and fire from in front of him; coals were ignited — they were lit by him).

G2705.3

κατάφοβος (kataphobos)

(kah-TAH-fo-vos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — thoroughly afraid, struck sober with fear (κατά, intensive + φόβος, fear). The LXX's turn on the proverb: 'when the impious are many, sins become many; but the just, at the falling of those, become sobered with fear' (Proverbs 29:16) — where the Hebrew has the righteous seeing the downfall, the Greek has them shuddering at it. The righteous response to watching ruin is not gloating but holy dread (Proverbs 24:17); the Lord fixed the same posture on His hearers: 'unless you repent, you will all likewise perish' (Luke 13:3-5) — and Paul on the broken branches: 'do not be arrogant, but fear' (Romans 11:20).

struck with fear
sobered

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 29:16 (with the impious being many, many sins take place; but with the just, at the falling of those, fear takes place).

G2706

καταφρονέω (kataphronéō)

(kat-af-ron-eh'-o | ka-ta-froh-NEH-oh | ka-ta-froh-NAY-oh)

G2707.1

καταφυγή (kataphygḗ)

(ka-ta-fee-YEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Feminine noun from G2703 (καταφεύγω, to flee for refuge); a refuge, place of escape — in the Psalter, a title of God Himself. It renders the Hebrew refuge-vocabulary (מַחְסֶה machseh, מָנוֹס manos, מִשְׂגָּב misgav) and names both the cities of refuge and the LORD to whom His people flee.

refuge, place of flight

Septuagint usage

22 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 17:15 (Moses' altar, "The LORD my Refuge"); Numbers 35:27-28 and Deuteronomy 19:3 (the cities of refuge); 2 Samuel 22:3; Psalm 9:9; Psalm 18:2; Psalm 31:2-3; Psalm 46:1 ("God is our refuge and strength"); Psalm 59:16.

to plant, plant firmly
of God settling His people in the land (the covenant "planting" theme)

Septuagint usage

G2710.1

καταχρίω (katachriō)

(kah-tah-KHREE-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to smear over, coat thoroughly (κατά + χρίω, to anoint — the anointing-verb turned to caulking). Jochebed's boatwright verse: 'when they could hide him no longer, his mother took a wicker basket of papyrus and smeared it with tar-pitch, and put the child into it, and set it in the marsh by the river' (Exodus 2:3). The basket is a θῖβις — but 'smeared with pitch' is Noah's specification (Genesis 6:14): the LXX writes Moses' cradle as a second ark, one child carried over the death-waters to save a people. A mother's waterproofing, done by faith (Hebrews 11:23), floats the exodus itself (Acts 7:20-21).

to smear over
to coat with pitch

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 2:3 (his mother took for him a wicker basket of papyrus, and besmeared it with tar, and put the male child into it, and put it into the marsh by the river).

G2710.2

καταχρύσεα (katachrysea)

(kah-tah-KHREE-seh-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Proper noun — 'the Gold-Abounding Place' (κατάχρυσος, gilded over): the LXX's translation, rather than transliteration, of Di-zahab ('of gold'), last stop in Deuteronomy's opening itinerary: 'these are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel across the Jordan... between Paran, Tophel, and Laban, and the Ravines, and the Place Abounding in Gold' (Deuteronomy 1:1). The travelogue prefacing the covenant-sermon is a map of memories — and a name meaning 'gold-place' at the head of Deuteronomy cannot help but recall where wilderness gold had gone (Deuteronomy 9:16, 21). Moses preaches grace to a people whose route-markers include their failures (Deuteronomy 8:2).

Gold-Abounding Place (Di-zahab)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 1:1 (between Paran, Tophel, and Laban, and the Canyons, and the Place Abounding in Gold).

G2710.3

Verb from κατά (over) and χρυσόω (G5558, to gild); to gild over, overlay with gold — the tabernacle verb: the ark of the testimony, its poles, the table, the boards, and the altar of incense, all "gilded with pure gold."

to gild, overlay with gold (the ark and the tabernacle furniture)

Septuagint usage

22 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 25:11 ("you shall gild the ark with pure gold, inside and out"); Exodus 25:13 (the poles); Exodus 25:24 (the table); Exodus 26:29 (the boards); Exodus 30:3 (the altar of incense).

G2710.4

κατάχυσις (katachysis)

(kah-TAH-khee-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a pouring-down, downrush (κατά + χέω, to pour). From Elihu's rescue-picture, in the Greek's difficult but suggestive rendering: God 'allured you from the mouth of the enemy — an abyss, a pouring-down beneath it — and your table came down full of fatness' (Job 36:16) — deliverance sketched as extraction from the predator's jaws, over the chasm, to a laden table. The Hebrew's sense — 'he allured you out of distress into a broad place where there is no cramping, and what was set on your table was full of fatness' — is the Shepherd-psalm's route exactly: through the valley to a prepared table (Psalm 23:4-5; 18:19).

pouring-down
downrush

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 36:16 (and he beguiled you from out of the mouth of the enemy — an abyss for pouring down underneath it — and your table went down full of fatness).

G2710.5

καταχώννυμι (katachōnnymi)

(kah-tah-KHON-nee-mee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to heap over, bury under (κατά + χώννυμι, to heap up). From the defended-flock oracle: 'the LORD almighty shall shield them, and they shall consume and heap over them with sling-stones... and the LORD their God shall save them in that day, as a flock his people — for holy stones are rolled upon his land' (Zechariah 9:15-16). Sling-stones burying the enemy while the saved flock gleams 'as stones of a crown' — two heaps of stone, one a grave and one a diadem. The oracle belongs to the donkey-King's chapter (Zechariah 9:9): His victories shield; His spoils are people made jewels (Malachi 3:17).

to heap over
to bury under

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Zechariah 9:15 (the LORD almighty shall shield them, and they shall consume them, and shall heap upon them with stones of a sling).

G2710.6

καταχωρίζω (katachōrizō)

(kah-tah-kho-REE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to enter in a register, set down in writing (κατά + χωρίζω, to assign place). Two registers that steer providence: the census number not entered in the scroll of king David's days because wrath had come for the counting — and Mordecai's unrewarded loyalty written in the royal memorial book, the entry that waited for one sleepless night.

to register
to set down in writing

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 27:24 (Joab began to count the people, and did not finish — and there came wrath upon Israel for this; and the number was not set down in writing in the scroll of the words of the days of king David); Esther 2:23 (the two eunuchs were hanged — and it was ordered to write it in the royal library, a memorial record for Mordecai's good report).

G2711.1

καθοράω (kathoraō)

(kah-tho-RAH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to look down upon, view fully (κατά + ὁράω; the ABP files these OT aorist forms at this decimal, distinct from the NT's own καθοράω of Romans 1:20). The locusts so covering Egypt that none shall be able to look down at the land — and the temple-prayer of the firstfruits liturgy: "Look down from Your holy house, from heaven, and bless Your people Israel."

to look down upon
to view

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 10:5 (the locust shall cover the appearance of the earth — and one shall not be able to look down at the earth; and it shall eat up all the rest left behind from the hail); Deuteronomy 26:15 ("look down from Your holy house, from heaven — and bless Your people Israel, and the land which You gave to them, as You swore to our fathers").

κατεντευκτής (katenteuktēs)

(kah-ten-tevk-TEES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an accuser, one who pleads against (κατά, against + ἐντυγχάνω, to appeal — the intercession-verb, here inverted; cf. Romans 11:2, Elijah pleading against Israel). Job's rawest question, in the Greek's turn: 'if I sinned, what can I do to you, O knower of the mind of men? Why have you set me as your accuser, and I am a burden to you?' (Job 7:20) — the sufferer feeling positioned as evidence against the God he cannot stop loving. The gospel's answer reverses the office: the believer has an Advocate, not an accuser, with the Father (1 John 2:1) — an Intercessor for (Romans 8:34), and the accuser of the brethren thrown down (Revelation 12:10).

accuser
one who pleads against

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 7:20 (why did you establish me as your accuser, and I am unto you a load?).

G2715.1

κατεπείγω (katepeigō)

(kah-teh-PY-go)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to press hard upon, urge down, coerce (κατά + ἐπείγω, to press); participle here, printed fused with its pronoun in the ABP's text of the lending-law: 'if you lend money to the destitute brother beside you, you shall not be coercing him — you shall not lay interest upon him' (Exodus 22:25). Where the Hebrew forbids acting 'as a creditor' (nosheh), the Greek names the creditor's method: pressure. The poor man's cloak-pledge clause follows, with God's own reason attached: 'if he cries out to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate' (Exodus 22:26-27) — lending among God's people must not squeeze (Luke 6:34-35; Psalm 112:5).

to press hard upon
to coerce

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 22:25 (you shall not be coercing him; you shall not place interest upon him).

G2715.2

κατεῖπον (kateipon)

(kah-TY-pon)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to speak against, denounce (κατά + εἶπον, to say); aorist participle here. The epitaph of the ten spies: 'and the men who spoke evil against the land died in the calamity before the LORD' (Numbers 14:37) — of the twelve who saw the same grapes, the same cities, the same giants, ten spoke the land down and fell by plague, while 'Joshua and Caleb lived' (Numbers 14:38). The report was the rebellion: unbelief published becomes unbelief epidemic (Numbers 13:32-14:4; Hebrews 3:19). Caleb's counter-speech marks the other road: 'the LORD is with us; do not fear them' (Numbers 14:9).

to speak against
to denounce

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 14:37 (and they died — the men avowing bad things concerning the land — in the calamity before the LORD).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a working-out, execution of a design (from κατεργάζομαι, to work out fully). The transfer-line of the temple blueprints: 'all was in writing from the hand of the LORD — David gave it to Solomon — for understanding of the working-out of the pattern' (1 Chronicles 28:19). The house is not Solomon's concept: pattern from God, execution entrusted to the son, as the tabernacle before it ('see that you make them according to the pattern,' Exodus 25:40; Hebrews 8:5). The same noun's verb carries Paul's charge to every temple-in-progress: 'work out your own salvation... for it is God who works in you' (Philippians 2:12-13) — divine design, entrusted execution.

working-out
execution (of a plan)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 28:19 (all was in the writing by the hand of the LORD; David gave it to Solomon, according to his understanding of the working out of the plan).

κατευθύ (kateuthy)

(kah-tev-THEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — straight ahead, directly opposite (κατά + εὐθύς, straight).

Liturgy legislated as through-passage: no one leaves the presence the way he came in. The rule is quietly a definition of worship itself — encounter that forbids retracing (Matthew 2:12, the magi 'departed by another way'; Philippians 3:13-14).

κατοικίζω (katoikizō)

G2733.2

κατοικοδομέομαι (katoikodomeomai)

(kah-toy-ko-do-MEH-o-my)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be built up as settlements (κατά + οἰκοδομέω, to build); perfect participle here, 'the built-up places.' The closing line of Esau's register: 'these are the princes of Edom, in their built settlements in the land of their possession — this is Esau, father of Edom' (Genesis 36:43). Esau finishes Genesis 36 housed, princed, and landed, while the chapter after opens with Jacob still 'sojourning in the land where his father sojourned' (Genesis 37:1). Scripture lets the contrast stand: quick establishment against slow inheritance — the tents of promise outlasting the built places of Edom (Hebrews 11:9-10; Obadiah 1:3-4, 18).

built-up settlements
to be built up

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 36:43 (these are the princes of Edom, in the built settlements in the land of their possession; this is Esau, father of Edom).

G2733.4

κατοίομαι (katoiomai)

(kah-TOY-o-my)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be presumptuous, arrogantly self-assured (κατά + οἴομαι, to suppose — supposition hardened into arrogance). The profile printed opposite Scripture's great faith-verse: 'but the presumptuous and despising, the boastful man, shall achieve nothing — who widened his soul as Hades, and like death is never filled; he gathers to himself all the nations' (Habakkuk 2:5), one verse after 'the just shall live by his faith' (Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17). Two appetites, two verdicts: faith receives life; the Hades-wide soul swallows nations and stays empty (Proverbs 27:20). The five woes that follow are its itemized bankruptcy (Habakkuk 2:6-19).

to be presumptuous
to be arrogantly assured

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Habakkuk 2:5 (but the one being arrogant and despising, the ostentatious man, shall in no way achieve anything — who widened his soul as Hades, and as death is not being filled up).

κάτοπτρον (katoptron)

(KAH-top-tron)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a mirror (of polished bronze; the noun beside κατοπτρίζομαι, to behold as in a mirror — the verb of 2 Corinthians 3:18). The laver's provenance: 'he made the bronze basin and its bronze base out of the mirrors of the women who fasted by the doors of the tent of the testimony' (Exodus 38:8) — instruments of self-regard surrendered and recast as the vessel where priests wash before approaching God (Exodus 30:18-20). The trade is the whole spiritual life in bronze: the mirror given up for the basin, self-inspection exchanged for cleansing — until beholding is restored at a better mirror, where we 'with unveiled faces all reflect the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into His image with intensifying glory' (2 Corinthians 3:18; James 1:23-25; Titus 3:5).

mirror

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 38:8 (and he made the brass bathing tub, and its brass base, from out of the mirrors of the women that fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tent of the testimony).

Verb from κατά (fully) and ὀρθόω (to set straight, from ὀρθός G3717); to set upright, establish, order aright — the established world that shall not be shaken, the temple service "set up" in the reforms of Hezekiah and Josiah, and the young man's question: how shall he keep his way straight?

to establish, set up, order aright (the temple service; the throne)
to keep straight, prosper (one's way)

The LXX's name for the temple's right-hand pillar — Jachin rendered "Success/Uprightness," its twin "Strength" — and the throne-theology of the Psalter: righteousness and judgment are the success of His throne.

setting upright
success

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 3:17 (he set the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and one on the left — and he called the name of the one on the right "Success," and the name of the one on the left "Strength"); Psalms 97:2 (cloud and dimness are round about Him — righteousness and judgment are the success of His throne).

G2735.2

κατορύσσω (katoryssō)

(kah-to-REES-soh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb from κατά (down) and ὀρύσσω (G3736, to dig); to dig down — to bury.

κατορχέομαι (katorcheomai)

(kah-tor-KHEH-o-my)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to dance in triumph over, treat with despite (κατά + ὀρχέομαι, to dance). The LXX's reading of Zechariah's deepest oracle: 'I will pour out upon the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and compassion, and they shall look to me because they danced upon me in despite — and they shall mourn over him as over a beloved, and grieve as over the firstborn' (Zechariah 12:10). The Hebrew reads 'they shall look on me whom they pierced' (daqar); the Greek translators evidently saw raqad, 'danced.' John quotes the Hebrew of the pierced One at the cross (John 19:37; Revelation 1:7) — and the Greek's 'despite' names the same crime from another angle: mockery around the cross (Matthew 27:39-44), answered not with wrath but a poured-out spirit of grace producing the mourning that saves (Acts 2:36-37).

to dance in triumph over
to treat despitefully

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Zechariah 12:10 (and they shall look to me, because they treated me despitefully; and they shall beat the breast over him as over a beloved one, and they shall grieve with grief as over the first-born).

κατοχεύω (katocheuō)

(kah-to-KHEV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to breed, cause to mate (of livestock). The first clause of the mixture-laws: 'my law you shall keep: your cattle you shall not mate with one of a different yoke (ἑτεροζύγῳ); your vineyard you shall not sow with diverse seed; a garment woven of two materials you shall not put on' (Leviticus 19:19). Field, flock, and wardrobe were daily catechism in distinction — a people trained at every level of life that some joinings are not theirs to make. Paul carries the cattle-clause's exact adjective into the church: 'do not become unequally yoked (ἑτεροζυγοῦντες) with unbelievers' (2 Corinthians 6:14).

to breed
to cause to mate

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 19:19 (my law you shall keep: your cattle you shall not mate unequally yoked; and your vineyard you shall not sow with diverse seed).

κατόχιμος (katochimos)

(kah-TO-khee-mos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — held in possession, heritable as property (from κατέχω, to hold fast). From the hardest paragraph of the slave-laws: foreign bondservants 'shall be to you possessions unto the eon... but over your brothers, the sons of Israel, each shall not rule harshly over his brother in his labors' (Leviticus 25:46). The chapter's own logic presses against permanent ownership of persons: Israelites cannot be held, 'for they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt' (Leviticus 25:42, 55) — redemption re-titles people to God. That principle, once loosed, runs its full course: one Master over slave and free (Job 31:13-15; Colossians 4:1; Philemon 1:16 — 'no longer as a slave, but a beloved brother').

held as possession
heritable

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 25:46 (and they shall be to you possessions unto the eon; but of your brethren of the sons of Israel, each shall not violently strain his brother in his troubles).

Jonah's word for the underworld's locks: 'I went down into the fissures of the mountains; the earth, whose bars are eternal holds — yet let my life ascend from corruption, O LORD my God!' (Jonah 2:6). From behind bars declared eternal, the prayer contradicts the architecture — and wins: 'the LORD spoke to the fish, and it cast Jonah out' (Jonah 2:10). The Lord took this psalm as His own sign: 'as Jonah was three days and three nights... so shall the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth' (Matthew 12:40) — the eternal holds held Him three days, and 'it was not possible for him to be held (κρατεῖσθαι) by it' (Acts 2:24, 31).

From Ezekiel's siege-diet: 'take wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt — put them into one earthen vessel and make them into bread... three hundred ninety days you shall eat it' (Ezekiel 4:9) — a recipe whose point is its desperation: six grains scraped together because no single bin holds enough, bread weighed at twenty shekels a day (Ezekiel 4:10, 16). The prophet's body became the siege's preview — a sign-act of scarcity from the God whose ultimate answer to famine is 'I am the bread of life' (John 6:35; Amos 8:11).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — hiddenly, in secret (from κρύπτω via its perfect participle). Jeremiah's disclosure of the prophet's private life: 'if you will not hear, my soul shall weep in secret because of your pride, and my eyes shall run down with tears — for the flock of the LORD is broken' (Jeremiah 13:17). The public voice of judgment kept a hidden room of grief; the hardness he announced he mourned where no one saw. The secret tears are themselves revelation — how God's messengers feel God's sentences — and they surface undisguised in the Son weeping over the same city: 'if you had known, even you, the things that make for peace' (Luke 19:41-42; Jeremiah 9:1).

in secret

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to speak empty words (κενός, empty + λέγω, to speak).

Why inquire of the dead concerning the living?' (Isaiah 8:19). The mediums' whole industry filed under one verb: emptiness vocalized. Isaiah's alternative is the standing rule of revelation: 'to the law and to the testimony!' (Isaiah 8:20) — and the living God's own answer to death-inquiries: 'why do you seek the living among the dead?' (Luke 24:5; Deuteronomy 18:10-15).

to speak empty words
to babble emptily

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 8:19 (seek the ones who deliver oracles, and the ones speaking out loud from the earth, and the empty words which they speak out loud from the belly).

Verb — to prick, sting, goad (the parent-verb of κέντρον, the sting of 1 Corinthians 15:55-56 and the goads of Acts 26:14). Job's anatomy of his affliction: 'the arrows of the Mighty One are in my body, whose rage drinks up my blood — whenever I begin to speak, they sting me' (Job 6:4) — pain that interrupts even the telling of pain. Job reads the arrows as God's and argues his case anyway (Job 13:3, 15) — the sufferer's boldness the book finally vindicates (Job 42:7-8). And the sting-word's history ends disarmed: 'O death, where is your sting?' (1 Corinthians 15:55; Hosea 13:14).

The seduction-narrative's turning: 'he followed after her, lured like the gull — as an ox is led to slaughter, and as a dog to bonds, and as a stag shot with a bow' (Proverbs 7:22) — four animal figures for one young man walking to ruin convinced he is flying to a feast. The bird-word is exact: the fool is not dragged but baited, cooperating with his capture (Proverbs 7:21; James 1:14 — 'lured and enticed'). Wisdom's whole apparatus — the window, the warning, the corpse-count (Proverbs 7:6, 24-27) — exists to break the lure.

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list.

The last frame of the wine-woes: 'at the last it bites like a serpent struck, and the venom of a horned viper spreads through him' (Proverbs 23:32) — the cup that sparkled at the start (23:31) delivering its delayed toxin: strange visions, open sea, mast-top sleep, and the addict's morning vow to seek it again (Proverbs 23:33-35). The serpent-in-the-cup is Scripture's standing anatomy of desire misdirected: sweetness first, sting held for the end (Genesis 3:6, 13; James 1:15).

a little horn
the husk of a fruit, perhaps the name of the fruit

Note

This fruit was shaped like a horn and has a sweet taste; it was and is used not only for fattening swine, but as food by the lower classes.

G2769.1

κερατιστής (keratistēs)

(keh-rah-tis-TEES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a gorer, an animal given to goring (from κέρας, horn). Both occurrences fix the liability law of the goring ox: the owner warned whose beast had gored before, and who did not restrain it, answers for the blood or pays the ransom set upon him.

gorer
given to goring

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 21:29 (but if the bull was one goring before yesterday and before the third day, and they testified to its owner and he did not remove it — and it should kill a man or woman, the bull shall be stoned and its owner shall die in addition); Exodus 21:36 (but if it be known that the bull was one goring before, and its owner had not removed it — he shall pay bull for bull, and the one coming to an end shall be his).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a thunderbolt. From the whirlwind's employment-questions: 'will you send thunderbolts, and will they go, and say to you, What is it?' (Job 38:35) — lightning depicted as a servant that reports for orders, awaiting dispatch like a courier at the door. The catechism's cumulative point: Job commands none of the household staff of creation — snow, storehouses, constellations, bolts (Job 38:22, 31-33) — and yet their Master has been managing Job's case all along (Job 38:1-3). The lightning that answers to God alone becomes, in the Son's mouth, the figure of His own arriving (Matthew 24:27; Psalm 97:4).

The Assyrian's sentence, scored for full orchestra: 'the LORD will make heard the glory of his voice, and show the rage of his arm... as a devouring flame he shall thunder-strike violently, as water and hail carried down by force' (Isaiah 30:30) — and the next verses add the unearthly detail: every stroke of the appointed staff falls 'to the sound of tambourines and harps' (Isaiah 30:31-32), judgment on the oppressor set to Zion's music. Deliverance and doom are one event heard from two sides (Exodus 14:19-20; 2 Thessalonians 1:6-7).

to strike with a thunderbolt
to blast

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 30:30 (and as a devouring flame he shall strike with a thunderbolt violently; even as water and hail being carried together by force).

κέρκωψ (kerkōps)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a trickster, mischievous knave (the Kerkopes of Greek tale were ape-like rogues; the LXX borrows the type for the Hebrew's 'whisperer'). The gossip-proverb: 'the words of tricksters are soft, but they strike into the inner chambers of the belly' (Proverbs 26:22) — slander's delivery system: softness outside, penetration inside, lodging where it cannot be dug out. The proverb recurs verbatim (Proverbs 18:8) because the danger recurs; its remedy is fuel-starvation: 'where there is no wood-gatherer, fire is extinguished; where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases' (Proverbs 26:20; Ephesians 4:29).

(Ezra 1:9). Cyrus counts out to Sheshbazzar, piece by piece, what Nebuchadnezzar carried off (Ezra 1:7-11) — 5,400 vessels, audited home. The itemized list is the theology: nothing consecrated was lost in the seventy years; the God who numbers vessels numbers exiles (Ezra 1:11 with Isaiah 43:5-7; John 6:39).

From the afflicted man's psalm: 'for I ate ashes as bread, and mixed my drink with weeping' (Psalm 102:9) — grief as the standing ingredient at every meal, tears the only water in the cup. The psalm holds this misery against eternity — 'my days decline as a shadow... but you are the same, and your years shall not fail' (Psalm 102:11, 27) — and the New Testament reads that eternal answer as the Son (Psalm 102:25-27 at Hebrews 1:10-12): the unchanging One who Himself took the tear-mixed cup (Matthew 26:38-39; Psalm 42:3).

The LXX's startling verb in David's confession: 'behold, in lawless deeds I was conceived, and in sins my mother craved me' (Psalm 51:5) — sinfulness traced not to a deed but to origins, present in the womb-hunger before the birth. The Miserere's logic depends on this depth: surface sins need surface remedies, but David's case requires re-creation — 'wisdom in the hidden part' (Psalm 51:6), 'create in me a clean heart' (Psalm 51:10) — the root-cleansing promised in the new covenant (Ezekiel 36:26; John 3:5-6).
