Definition

The narrative weighs the bronze so carefully in order to discard it: David refuses Saul's armor entirely (17:38-39) and names the actual balance of forces — 'the LORD saves not with sword and spear, for the battle is the LORD's' (1 Samuel 17:47; 2 Corinthians 10:4).

The curse-catalogue's unhealable diseases frame the gospel's claim at its full height: 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us' (Galatians 3:13) — bearing the whole register, boil and itch and all (Isaiah 53:4; Matthew 8:16-17).

The last line Job speaks in his own defense: 'if my land ever cried out against me... let nettles come forth to me instead of wheat, and a bush instead of barley.

The curse-flora is Eden's aftermath vocabulary ('thorns and thistles,' Genesis 3:18) — invoked by a man daring the ground to testify, whom God Himself will shortly call blameless (Job 42:7-8).

(Haggai 1:4) — sixteen years of 'not yet time' (1:2) exposed by one adjective: the finish-work lavished on private ceilings while God's house stood open to the sky. The prescription follows the diagnosis: 'consider your ways... go up, bring wood, build the house, and I will take pleasure in it' (Haggai 1:7-8) — and the treasure-priorities the Lord preached stand behind it (Matthew 6:33).

A god held together by adhesive, shaped to the image of its maker — the exact inversion of Genesis: man making god in his own likeness (Genesis 1:26-27; Psalm 115:8). The satire's tenderness is its close: 'remember these things, O Jacob... I have blotted out your transgressions; return to me, for I have redeemed you' (Isaiah 44:21-22).

κολοβόκερκος (kolobokerkos)

(ko-lo-VO-ker-kos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — dock-tailed, with mutilated tail (κολοβός, curtailed + κέρκος, tail). From the votive-offering rules: 'a calf or sheep with mutilated ears or dock-tailed you may make for yourself as slaughter, but for your vow it shall not be accepted' (Leviticus 22:23) — the defective animal permitted for the table, barred from the altar. The distinction guards a doctrine: what is offered to God must be whole, 'without blemish' (Leviticus 22:20-21) — the standard Malachi found scandalously inverted ('offer it now to your governor!', Malachi 1:8) and which the true Lamb finally met in person: 'a lamb without blemish and without spot' (1 Peter 1:19).

dock-tailed
tail-mutilated

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 22:23 (a calf or a sheep with mutilated ears, or tailless, you shall make them slaughter for yourself; but for your vow it shall not be taken).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — mutilated-nosed, with disfigured nose (κολοβός, curtailed + ῥίς, nose). From the priestly blemish-roster: 'any man in whom there is a blemish shall not approach — a blind man, or lame, or mutilated-nosed, or crop-eared' (Leviticus 21:18) — the officiant's body held to the same wholeness as the offering's (Leviticus 22:20-23). The law drew in flesh what it awaited in fact: a Priest 'holy, innocent, undefiled' (Hebrews 7:26). And its counter-melody already sounded inside the law itself — the blemished priest still ate the holy bread (Leviticus 21:22), and the excluded bodies of the old order are called personally into the new (Isaiah 56:3-5; Luke 14:21).

mutilated-nosed
split-nosed

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 21:18 (a blind man, or lame, or splitmouth, or with mutilated ears, shall not come forward).

The altar of the visionary temple is surveyed immediately after the glory returns (Ezekiel 43:1-5): restored presence entails restored atonement, measured to the cubit — blood provided for before worship resumes (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 9:22).

Noun — a striking with fists, battering (from κόνδυλος, knuckle — the noun of the fist-verb at Amos 5:11). The evidence-line of the Moab-Ammon oracle: 'I heard the scorns of Moab, and the fist-blows of the sons of Ammon, with which they berated my people and magnified themselves over my borders' (Zephaniah 2:8). The opening verb carries the comfort: every taunt logged, every blow on the covenant people registered in heaven's ledger ('he who touches you touches the apple of his eye,' Zechariah 2:8) — and answered: 'therefore, as I live...

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — plaster, whitewash coating (from κονία, lime-dust). The writing-surface of history's most famous interruption: 'in the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote, opposite the lampstand, upon the plaster of the wall of the king's house — and the king beheld the knuckles of the hand as it wrote' (Daniel 5:5). Belshazzar had toasted his gods in the temple's cups (5:2-4); the answer came in four words on the lime: numbered, weighed, divided (5:25-28) — 'and that night he was slain' (5:30). Walls hold God's handwriting when thrones will not hear it (Habakkuk 2:11; Luke 12:20).

shaft
pike-pole

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 17:7 (the shaft of his spear was as a weaver's beam — and his spearhead six hundred shekels of iron; and the one carrying his weapons went before him); Ezekiel 39:9 (the ones dwelling in the cities of Israel shall burn with the weapons — small shields and spears, bows and arrows, hand staves and pikes; and they shall burn with them fire for seven years).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — fleabane, a rank briar-weed.

The chapter of free water and wine (55:1) and the never-void word (55:10-11) ends in botany reversed: curse-flora (Genesis 3:18) uprooted, evergreen and fragrant planted in its bed — creation itself made a monument to redemption. The joy-led exodus that precedes it (55:12) is the gospel's landscape (Romans 8:19-21).

fleabane
briar

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 55:13 (and instead of the briar shall ascend the myrtle; and the LORD will be for a name and for an eternal sign, and it shall not cease).

(ko-pah-NEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to pound in a mortar, beat fine (from κόπανον, pestle); perfect participle here of oil: 'Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat as food for his house, and twenty baths of pounded oil — year by year' (1 Kings 5:11). Beaten oil is the premium grade — olives crushed gently in the mortar rather than pressed hot — the grade Torah reserves for the sanctuary lamp (Exodus 27:20). Solomon pays temple-quality goods for temple-bound cedar: the covenant of Tyre's timber (1 Kings 5:8-12) is provisioned as carefully as the altar it serves — and even pagan partners receive covenant generosity (1 Kings 5:12; Colossians 4:5).

to pound
beaten (oil)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 5:11 (and Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, and food for his house, and twenty baths of pounded olive oil; thus Solomon gave to Hiram yearly).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to weary, tire out (from κόπος, toil). Qoheleth's fool in one sentence: 'the toil of fools shall weary them — such a one does not know the way to go into the city' (Ecclesiastes 10:15) — enormous effort expended by a man who cannot manage the most public road in the region. Toil without wisdom manufactures exhaustion, not arrival (Ecclesiastes 10:10). The Preacher's riddle finds its rest where all weariness does: 'come to me, all who labor (κοπιῶντες) and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest' (Matthew 11:28) — the Way into the city that fools miss (John 14:6; Hebrews 12:22).

(KO-po-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — weariness, fatigue (from κόπος, toil). The Preacher's postscript to all scholarship: 'beyond these, my son, beware: of making many scrolls there is no limit, and much study is weariness of the flesh' (Ecclesiastes 12:12) — written, with perfect irony, at the end of a book. The guard-rail stands one verse earlier: the words of the wise are 'goads and firmly-fixed nails, given by one Shepherd' (Ecclesiastes 12:11) — a bounded canon from a single Giver, sufficient where endless bibliography exhausts. The conclusion follows in two lines: fear God and keep His commandments (Ecclesiastes 12:13; John 21:25 with 20:31 — enough written 'that you may believe').

weariness
fatigue

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 12:12 (of making many scrolls there is no limit; and much meditation is weariness of flesh).

The aging king faints in the battle; Abishai intervenes; and the army writes a new rule: 'you shall not go out with us any longer, that you not quench the lamp of Israel' (2 Samuel 21:17) — the royal life re-valued as a flame the nation lives by.

κορώνη (korōnē)

(ko-RO-nee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a crow; also the curved handle or hook (the ABP glosses by the second sense, 'crowbar'). The LXX's image for Judah at the roadside: 'lift your eyes to the straight way and see where you have not been defiled — you sat by the ways for them as a crow left desolate, and defiled the land with your harlotries' (Jeremiah 3:2) — a solitary scavenger-bird waiting at the crossroads, where the Hebrew has 'like an Arab in the wilderness' waiting for caravans. Either figure indicts the watching-for-lovers posture; and the chapter still turns on the impossible invitation: 'return to me... only acknowledge your iniquity' (Jeremiah 3:1, 12-13).

crow
curved hook

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 3:2 (you have sat upon the ways for them as a crow having been made desolate, and defiled the land in your harlotries and in your evils).

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

Even the unseen layer is legislated: holiness runs to the underclothes, 'for glory and for beauty' (Exodus 28:2, 40) — and the true Priest's seamless tunic drew the soldiers' lot at the cross (John 19:23-24).

fringed

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective, root of κουφίζω (G2893, to lighten); light, nimble, swift — Saul and Jonathan swifter than eagles, Asahel light of foot as a gazelle, and the prophets' 'light thing' in the eyes of the Lord.

Septuagint usage

14 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Samuel 1:23 (Saul and Jonathan — swifter than eagles, stronger than lions); 2 Samuel 2:18 (Asahel was light of foot as a gazelle in the field); 2 Kings 20:10 (it is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten steps); Isaiah 18:2.

κούφως (kouphōs)

(KOO-fos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — lightly, nimbly (from κοῦφος, light of weight; the family of κουφίζω, to lighten). The terrifying logistics of Isaiah's summons: 'he shall lift a signal to the nations far off, and whistle for them from the end of the earth — and behold, quickly, nimbly they come' (Isaiah 5:26): no one weary, no sandal-strap broken, arrows sharp (5:27-28). The vineyard chapter's point is in the whistle: the invading superpower is livestock to its Owner, called with a herdsman's hiss (Isaiah 7:18) — history's armies moving lightly because Someone else carries the decision (Isaiah 10:5-7, 15).

κόχλαξ (kochlax)

(KOKH-lax)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a pebble, small round stone. From Jonathan's two-man assault at Michmash: 'the first strike which Jonathan struck, and his armor-bearer, was about twenty men — with arrows, and with sling-stones, and with pebbles of the field' (1 Samuel 14:14) — improvised ammunition in a war where Israel owned two swords total (1 Samuel 13:22). The arithmetic ran on Jonathan's creed: 'nothing restrains the LORD from saving by many or by few' (1 Samuel 14:6) — and the ground itself joined in (14:15). Field-stones felling Philistines is the family signature (1 Samuel 17:40, 49): heaven's arsenal is unimpressive on purpose (1 Corinthians 1:27).

pebble
field-stone

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 14:14 (the first beating which Jonathan struck, and the one carrying his weapons, was about twenty men — by arrows, and by rock slinging, and by pebbles of the plain).

(kreh-pah-LAH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be heavy-headed with wine, dizzy, reeling (cf. the NT's κραιπάλη, dissipation). The psalm's bold figure — the Lord awaking like a mighty man shouting off wine — and Isaiah's staggering earth and stupefied prophets, drunk but not with wine.

to be dizzy with wine
to reel

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 78:65 (then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep — like a mighty man dizzy from wine — and struck His enemies backward); Isaiah 24:20 (the earth staggers like a drunkard, reeling dizzy like a watchman's hut — its transgression heavy upon it); Isaiah 29:9 ("be amazed and be dizzy — they are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink" — for the LORD has poured out a spirit of deep sleep).

(KRAH-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — mixed wine, wine blended (from κεράννυμι, to mix). From the Song's most lavish praise-poem: 'your navel is a turned bowl, never lacking mixed wine; your belly a heap of wheat fenced about with lilies' (Song of Solomon 7:2) — the bride's body celebrated in the vocabulary of festival abundance: full bowl, gathered harvest. Scripture keeps this frankness inside covenant and calls it holy — 'drink your fill, O lovers' (Song of Solomon 5:1; Proverbs 5:18-19) — married delight as a designed feast, and beneath the Song's surface, the covenant-joy it has always figured (Isaiah 62:5; Ephesians 5:31-32).

mixed wine
blended wine

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Song of Solomon 7:2 (your navel is as a turned basin, not lacking mixed wine; your belly is as a heap of grain shut up in lilies).

G2900.1

κραταιότης (krataiotēs)

(krah-teh-O-tees)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — mightiness, sovereign force (from κραταιός, mighty). From the refuge-psalm's opening storm: 'the waters roared and were troubled; the mountains were shaken by his mightiness' (Psalm 46:3) — the Greek adding the possessive theology: even the chaos quakes at His force, not its own. That is why 'we will not fear though the earth be removed' (46:2): the psalm's refuge (46:1) is mightier than the emergency, and the storm ends in His imperative — 'be still, and know that I am God' (Psalm 46:10; Mark 4:39, the same stillness commanded in person).

mightiness
sovereign force

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 46:3 (their waters sounded and were disturbed; the mountains were disturbed by his force).
