David's one wise move was to step out of hiding himself — 'I have sinned against the LORD' (2 Samuel 12:13) — the confession that became the Fifty-first Psalm (Psalm 32:3-5).

From the whirlwind's meteorology: 'who prepared a channel for the fierce rain, and a way for the uproar?'

The next verse holds the catechism's tenderest fact: the rain is routed 'to a land where no man is... to satisfy the desolate ground' (Job 38:26-27) — providence lavished where no one is watching, the signature of a goodness that does not perform for audiences (Matthew 5:45; Psalm 104:13-14).

From the Assyria-clause of the LORD's sworn plan: 'I will destroy the Assyrians upon my land and upon my mountains... and their yoke shall be removed from them, and their glory shall be removed from their shoulders' (Isaiah 14:24-25) — where the Hebrew lifts the oppressor's burden off Israel's shoulders, the Greek strips the oppressor's pomp from his own. Both happened on one night (Isaiah 37:36). The broken yoke is Isaiah's recurring dawn (Isaiah 9:4; 10:27) — until the shoulders that offer a different yoke entirely: 'my yoke is easy' (Matthew 11:29-30).

The quiet theological verb-object of Ruth's last chapter: 'Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife, and he went in to her — and the LORD gave her conception, and she bore a son' (Ruth 4:13). After a book of famine, burials, and barren years in Moab, the narrator assigns the pregnancy explicitly to God — the only direct act of the LORD narrated in the whole book beside the ending of the famine (Ruth 1:6). The child is Obed, father of Jesse, father of David (Ruth 4:17) — conception given as covenant freight, on the road to the birth announced to a virgin (Matthew 1:5; Luke 1:31-33).

Set against him in the same verse: Abigail, 'of good understanding and beautiful in appearance,' whose speed and speech restrain David from blood (25:23-33).

Qoheleth's epistemology in two hidden processes: 'as you do not know the way of the wind, nor the bones in the womb of her who is with child, so you shall not know the works of God, who does all things' (Ecclesiastes 11:5). The counsel it funds is not paralysis but sowing: 'in the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand' (11:6) — work entrusted to processes you cannot audit. Both of the Preacher's mysteries meet in one night conversation: the wind that blows where it wills, and birth — from above (John 3:4-8; Psalm 139:13-15).

to be with child
to carry in the womb

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 11:5 (as the bones in the womb of one being with child, so you shall not know the actions of God, as much as he shall do in all things).

The lovers' spring errand: 'let us rise early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine has bloomed, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates have flowered — there I will give you my love' (Song of Solomon 7:12). Love in the Song keeps farmer's hours: up at dawn, inspecting for buds, giving itself where things are growing. The Song's blossom-season is the Bible's picture of love's arrival — 'the flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come' (Song of Solomon 2:11-13).

The turning is dated to the day the foundation was laid: 'from this day I will bless you' (Haggai 2:18-19) — the bin's arithmetic healed when the priorities were (Matthew 6:33; Malachi 3:10).

grain-bin

(KOH-dhohn)

Definition

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

The Jews' answer to the counter-decree: 'in every city and province where the notice was posted, there was joy and gladness among the Jews — feasting and gladness; and many of the nations were circumcised and became Jews, for the fear of the Jews' (Esther 8:17). The cup that opened the book belonged to the killers (Esther 3:15); by the end it stands on the survivors' tables — the reversal Purim drinks to annually (Esther 9:22): sorrow turned to gladness, the enemy's feast-day inherited by the delivered (Psalm 30:11; Isaiah 25:6).

drinking-feast
carousal

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 8:17 (there was joy and gladness among the Jews, with toasting and gladness; and many of the nations were circumcised, and became Jewish-like because of the fear of the Jews).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to carouse, sit drinking toasts (from κώθων, the drinking-cup, one entry above). The most chilling sentence in Esther: 'the matter was hastened, even in Shushan — and the king and Haman sat toasting; but the city was in confusion' (Esther 3:15) — a genocide signed, sealed, couriered, and celebrated over wine while the capital reels. The narrator's cut from cup to chaos is the verdict (Proverbs 29:2). But wine-benches are reversible furniture in this book: the decree's undoing is negotiated at a banquet (Esther 7:1-6), and the killers' cup passes to the delivered (Esther 8:17; Habakkuk 2:15-16).

to carouse
to sit toasting

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 3:15 (and the king and Haman toasted, but the city was disturbed).

The thigh is the priest's own due from the peace-offering (Leviticus 7:32-33) — and the seer had ordered it held back before Saul arrived (9:23): the kingdom is served to the farm-boy in the honored portion, anointing to follow at dawn (1 Samuel 10:1). Grace sets the table before the recipient understands the meal (Psalm 23:5; Luke 22:29-30).

thigh
hind quarter

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 9:24 (and the cook took the hind quarter and the part upon it, and placed it before Saul; behold, the leftover — place it before you, and eat! for as a testimony it is placed for you).

(KO-lee-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a restraint, hindrance, stocks (from κωλύω, to hinder). Job's surveillance-complaint: 'you put my foot in restraint, and watched all my works, and reached to the roots of my feet' (Job 13:27) — God experienced as warden: foot in the stocks, every path logged, even the footprint's root examined (Elihu quotes the line back, Job 33:11). The book's long answer re-reads the watching: 'he knows the way that I take' (Job 23:10) is the same gaze felt from inside faith — and the Psalter volunteers for it: 'search me, O God... and lead me in the way everlasting' (Psalm 139:23-24, with 139:1-5).

restraint
stocks

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 13:27 (and you put my foot under restraint; and you watched all my works; and into the roots of my feet you attained).

(ko-MAR-khees)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a village-chief, local magistrate (κώμη, village + ἄρχω, to rule). From the empire-wide search that swept Esther to Susa: 'let the king appoint magistrates in all the provinces of his kingdom, and let them choose beautiful young virgins for Shushan the city, to the house of the women' (Esther 2:3) — a bureaucracy of officials, eunuchs, and beauty-regimens (2:12), built for a king's appetite. Providence rides the whole apparatus without endorsement: the machinery that gathers girls to a harem positions one orphan 'for such a time as this' (Esther 2:8-9, 17; 4:14) — Joseph's grammar again: meant for evil, worked for saving (Genesis 50:20).

village-chief
magistrate

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 2:3 (and let the king place magistrates in all the places of his kingdom, and let them choose beautiful young women, virgins, to be brought to Shushan the city).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an oar. From the shipwright's inventory of the good ship Tyre: 'out of Bashan they made your oars; your decks they made of ivory, from the isles of the Chittim' (Ezekiel 27:6) — the city allegorized as a luxury vessel, every plank sourced from a different nation's best (27:3-11). The lading-list exists for the sinking: 'your rowers brought you into great waters; the east wind broke you in the heart of the seas' (Ezekiel 27:26) — the fuller the manifest, the louder the silence after (27:32-36). Cargo is not keel; only one boast survives deep water (Jeremiah 9:23-24; 1 Timothy 6:17).

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 27:6 (from out of Bashan they made your oars; your decks they made from out of ivory, from the islands of the Chittim).

Psalm 39's discipline of the tongue at both hinges: "I was mute and humbled, and kept silent even from good" — and the deeper silence of submission: "I was mute and opened not my mouth, for You are the One who made me" — the stillness the Suffering Servant would fill (Isaiah 53:7).

The judge's asymmetry was the weapon: bound on the unexpected thigh, unsearched (3:15-16) — the LORD's habit of saving by the overlooked hand (Judges 3:15 with 20:16; 1 Corinthians 1:27-29), and eighty years of rest bought by it (Judges 3:30).

λαχανεία (lachaneia)

(lah-khah-NEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a vegetable-garden, herb-plot (from λάχανον, garden-herb). The two irrigation systems of Deuteronomy: 'the land you are entering is not like the land of Egypt... where you sowed your seed and watered it with your foot, like a vegetable garden' — but a land of hills and valleys that 'drinks water of the rain of heaven, a land the LORD your God cares for: the eyes of the LORD your God are always upon it' (Deuteronomy 11:10-12). Egypt's foot-pumped plots ran on human treadle; Canaan runs on watched sky — an agriculture designed to keep a nation looking up (Deuteronomy 11:13-14; Matthew 6:11, 25-33).
