The Libertine Jews had built, at their own expense, a synagogue at Jerusalem which they frequented when in that city, even though they had fixed their abode in Rome. The name "Libertines" adhered to them to distinguish them from free born Jews who had subsequently taken up their residence at Rome. Evidence seems to have been discovered of the existence of a "synagogue of the Libertines" at Pompeii.

λιθουργέω (lithourgeō)

(lee-thoor-GHEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to work stone, cut and dress stone (λίθος, stone + ἔργον, work). From Bezalel's commission: God 'filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom and understanding... to cut the stone, and to work the wood, and to labor in every work of wisdom' (Exodus 35:31-33) — the first person in Scripture said to be filled with the Spirit of God is a craftsman, and the filling issues in masonry, joinery, and weaving (35:35). Stone-cutting as charismatic gift dignifies every skilled hand turned Godward (Colossians 3:23) — and the Spirit who cut stones for the first sanctuary now builds the living one: 'you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house' (1 Peter 2:5; Ephesians 2:21-22).

to work stone
to cut stone

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 35:33 (and to cut the stone, and to manufacture the wood things, and to produce with every work of wisdom).

G3038.2

λιθουργικός (lithourgikos)

(lee-thoor-gee-KOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of stone-working, a stonecutter's (λίθος + ἔργον). Both occurrences serve the sanctuary: the engraving of the two shoulder-stones with the names of the sons of Israel, "the work of a stonecutter's craft" — and stonecutting among the crafts with which Bezalel was filled by the Spirit of God.

of stone-working
stonecutting

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 28:11 (a work of a stonecutter's craft — you shall carve the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel); Exodus 31:5 ("and the stonecutting works, and the woodworking crafts — to work according to all the works").

G3039.1

λικμήτωρ (likmētōr)

(lik-MEE-tor)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a winnower (agent noun of λικμάω, to winnow — the verb Jesus uses of the stone that scatters its victim to chaff, Luke 20:18). The royal proverb: 'a wise king is a winnower of the impious, and he puts the wheel upon them' — the threshing-cart wheel driven over the harvest, separating grain from straw. Good government is agriculture: not rage but process, discerning and dividing until the worthless is blown away (Proverbs 20:8). The figure ascends to the King whose fan is in His hand, gathering wheat and burning chaff (Matthew 3:12).

winnower
one who separates chaff

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 20:26 (a wise king is a winnower of the impious, and he puts the wheel upon them).

G3039.2

λικμός (likmos)

(lik-MOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a winnowing shovel, winnowing fan (the instrument of λικμάω; the ABP prints the dative τῷ λικμῷ). The remnant-sieve of Amos: 'I shall winnow the house of Israel among all the nations, in the manner grain is winnowed by the winnowing shovel — and in no way shall a broken piece fall upon the earth.' Exile is winnowing, not annihilation: the shaking is violent and the keeping is exact; not one true kernel lost among the nations (Amos 9:8-9). James cites this very passage's sequel — the rebuilt tent of David — for the Gentile ingathering (Amos 9:11-12; Acts 15:16-17).

winnowing shovel
winnowing fan

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Amos 9:9 (I shall winnow among all the nations the house of Israel, in which manner grain is winnowed by the winnowing shovel; and in no way shall there fall a broken piece upon the earth).

G3039.4

λιμαγχονέω (limanchoneō)

(lee-mang-kho-NEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to weaken with hunger, famish (from λιμός, famine, + ἄγχω, to press tight — hunger's stranglehold). The wilderness pedagogy: 'He afflicted you and famished you and fed you the manna... that He should announce to you that not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word going forth through the mouth of God.' The famishing was curriculum — hunger dug the space the word would fill; the manna answered the appetite God Himself had created. This is the verse the famished Son answers the tempter with after forty days (Matthew 4:4; Deuteronomy 8:2-3).

to famish
to weaken with hunger

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 8:3 (and he afflicted you, and caused you to hunger, and fed you the manna which your fathers had not known).

λιμοκτονέω (limoktoneō)

(lee-mok-to-NEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to kill by famine, starve (from λιμός, famine, + κτείνω, to kill; future here, negated). The first proverb of the providence-pairs: 'the LORD will not starve a just soul, but the life of the impious He will overturn.' Not a promise of plenty but of custody — the righteous may hunger (Deuteronomy 8:3 above), but hunger will not be their executioner; David's old-age testimony stands beside it (Psalm 37:25), and Jesus turns it into the kingdom's economics: seek first, and the rest is added (Matthew 6:33).

to starve
to kill by famine

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 10:3 (the LORD will not famish a just soul; but the life of the impious he will prostrate).

G3042

λιμός (limós)

(lee-mos' | lee-MOSE | lee-MOSE)

Definition

(lee-MOS-so)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be famished, hunger (from λιμός, famine). Both occurrences bark in Psalm 59's refrain — the enemies returning at evening, famished as a dog, circling the city — the prowling hunger of the wicked around the man God guards.

to be famished
to hunger

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 59:6 (they shall return at evening, and shall be famished as a dog — and shall circle the city); Psalms 59:14 (the refrain again — they shall return at evening, and be famished as a dog, and circle the city).

G3042.2

Adjective from λίνον (G3043, flax, linen); of flaxen linen — the linen garments of priestly service: the breeches of the altar ministry, the holy vestments of the Day of Atonement, and Jeremiah's linen waistband.

of flaxen linen, linen

Septuagint usage

15 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 6:10 (the priest shall put on his linen robe and linen breeches); Leviticus 16:4 (the holy linen tunic — for the Day of Atonement); Leviticus 16:23; Jeremiah 13:1 (go, get yourself a linen waistband).

G3042.3

λινοκαλάμη (linokalamē)

(lee-no-kah-LAH-mee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — flax-stalk, stalks of flax (λίνον, flax, + καλάμη, stalk); collective singular here of the drying flax piled on Rahab's roof. 'She brought them up upon the roof and hid them in the flax-stalks piled by her upon the roof' — the harlot's homely inventory becomes the instrument of salvation history: under the flax lie the spies, and on the flax hangs the future of the line that runs through Rahab to David to Christ (Matthew 1:5). Faith is commended precisely here — 'by faith Rahab did not perish... having received the spies with peace' (Hebrews 11:31; James 2:25).

flax-stalk
stalks of flax

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 2:6 (but she brought them upon the roof, and hid them in the stalk of flax having been piled by her upon the roof).

λίπασμα (lipasma)

(LEE-pas-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — fatness, rich food (from λιπαρός, fat, sumptuous — Revelation 18:14); plural here. Ezra's law-reading day, when the people wept at hearing the words: 'go and eat fatness, and drink sweetness, and send portions to the ones not having... and do not faint, for the joy of the LORD is our strength.' Conviction turned to feast by command — the day was holy, and holiness there meant rich food, shared portions, and joy as fortification (Nehemiah 8:9-12). The gospel keeps the menu: a feast of fat things for all peoples on this mountain (Isaiah 25:6).

fatness
rich food

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Nehemiah 8:10 (go and eat fatness, and drink sweetness, and send portions to the ones not having, for the day is holy to the LORD our God; and do not faint, for the joy of the LORD is our strength).

G3045.2

λίσσομαι (lissomai)

(LEES-so-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to beg, implore (the old poetic verb of entreaty, frequent in Homer's suppliants, rare in prose; holding this slot in the ABP's numbering). Job's exhausted petition: 'I implore, wearying — and what shall I do? Strangers stole my possessions.' The verb of a man whose asking outlasts his strength: entreaty continued past the point of argument. Job's begging is not groundless — two chapters earlier he has lodged his witness in heaven (Job 16:19-21), the advocate-hope the gospel names (1 John 2:1).

to implore
to entreat

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 17:2 (I implore, wearying — for what shall I do? and strangers stole my possessions).

G3045.3

λιτανεύω (litaneuō)

(lee-tah-NEV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to entreat, supplicate (from λιτή, prayer of entreaty — the word behind 'litany'). In the royal wedding psalm: 'the daughter of Tyre shall come with gifts; the rich of the people will entreat your face.' The nations court the favor of the anointed King's bride — wealth itself turned suppliant at the throne the psalm addresses as God's (Psalm 45:6). Hebrews reads the psalm of the Son (Hebrews 1:8-9); the entreating rich anticipate kings falling down and nations serving Him (Psalm 72:10-11), gifts and all (Matthew 2:11).

to entreat
to supplicate

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 45:12 (and the daughter of Tyre shall come with gifts; the rich of the people will implore your face).

G3045.4

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — plain, cheap, of no account; plural here of Jephthah's recruits. Driven out by his brothers for his birth, 'Jephthah dwelt in the land of Tob, and cheap men collected together with Jephthah and went forth with him.' The despised head gathers the despised — the same pattern as David's cave, where the distressed, indebted, and bitter of soul rallied to the anointed outcast (1 Samuel 22:2). God's habit is on record: the low-born and the counted-as-nothing chosen to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27-28); Jephthah himself lands in faith's honor roll (Hebrews 11:32).

cheap
of no account

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 11:3 (and he dwelt in the land of Tob, and cheap men collected together with Jephthah, and went forth together with him).

Israel's thirst became litigation against God — and the Rock was struck and gave water (Exodus 17:6; 1 Corinthians 10:4). The psalm keeps the warning green: 'harden not your hearts as at the Reviling' (Psalm 95:8; Hebrews 3:8).

λοιμεύομαι (loimeuomai)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to act the pest, behave pestilently (from λοιμός, pestilence — the LXX's standing word for the scorner, as in Psalm 1:1's 'seat of pestilent ones'). The proverb of escalating temper: 'an evil-minded man shall be much penalized; and if he should turn pestilent, he shall add his own life also.' Rage unrepented graduates from fines to fatality — the scorner's tuition rises until the last payment is himself (Proverbs 19:19; 29:22). The remedy the chapter urges is the listening ear (Proverbs 19:20).

Desecration as public theology — the shrine of the storm-god converted to the city's most contemptible utility, so that every generation could read what Baal was worth (2 Kings 10:27-28).

Noun — a kitchen, cooking-place (from μάγειρος, cook, butcher — no kinship with the μαγεία of this base number; the slot is numeric only); plural here. In Ezekiel's visionary temple the tour reaches the courtyard corners: 'cooking places existed from beneath the inner chambers round about' — and the next verse names their use: 'these are the houses of the cooks, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people' (Ezekiel 46:23-24). The glory-filled temple has kitchens: the vision's holiness descends to the pots — the day when even cooking vessels are 'holy to the LORD' (Zechariah 14:20-21).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to butcher, cut up as a cook does (from μάγειρος, cook-butcher; one entry above the kitchens of Ezekiel 46). Lamentations' most terrible kitchen-word, in the dirge over fallen Jerusalem: 'boy and old man lay on the ground in the streets... by famine you killed; in the day of your anger you butchered, you spared not.' The poet does not soften the agent — the covenant curses were executed by the covenant LORD (Lamentations 2:17; Deuteronomy 28:49-57) — and precisely this unsparing book holds the morning-mercies center (Lamentations 3:22-23), the wrath borne at last by the Son not spared (Romans 8:32).

to butcher
to cut up

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Lamentations 2:21 (by broadsword and by famine you killed; in the day of your anger you cut up, you spared not).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a female cook (feminine of μάγειρος; plural here). In Samuel's inventory of what the demanded king will cost: 'your daughters he will take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for baking.' The verb of the whole indictment is take — sons taken for chariots, daughters for kitchens, fields and tithes taken for courtiers (1 Samuel 8:11-17) — the mirror-image of the God who gives. Israel traded the giving King for a taking one; the true King, when He came, took a towel (John 13:4-5; Mark 10:45).

female cook

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 8:13 (and your daughters he will take for perfumers, and for cooks, and for baking).

Noun — a kneaded cake, round loaf (from μάσσω, to knead — no kinship with the μαγεύω of this base number; the slot is numeric only). The dream in Midian's camp: 'behold, a loaf of barley bread was rolling in the camp of Midian, and it came unto the tent and struck it and overturned it, and the tent fell.' Barley — the poor man's grain — tumbling downhill flattens the war-tent: the dream's own interpreter reads it as 'the sword of Gideon' (Judges 7:14), and God had already explained the arithmetic: three hundred, lest Israel boast (Judges 7:2). The weak thing chosen to overthrow the mighty is a standing divine signature (1 Corinthians 1:27).

kneaded loaf
round cake

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 7:13 (behold, a loaf of barley bread was rolling in the camp of Midian, and it came unto the tent, and struck it, and overturned it, and the tent fell).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make bald, pluck out hair (from μαδάω, to lose hair; aorist here). Nehemiah's fury at the mixed marriages that unraveled the remnant: 'I quarreled with them, and cursed them, and struck some of their men, and plucked their hair, and bound them to an oath.' Set beside Ezra, who at the same sin plucked out his own hair and beard (Ezra 9:3) — two zeals, the reformer's violence and the intercessor's grief. Both are outdone by the Servant who gave His cheeks to those who plucked (Isaiah 50:6), bearing the covenant-breaking He came to mend.

to pluck hair
to make bald

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Nehemiah 13:25 (and I quarreled with them, and cursed them, and I struck some of their men, and I plucked their hair, and I bound them to an oath by God).

G3099.2

Μαζουρώθ (Mazourōth)

(mah-zoo-ROTH)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Transliterated Hebrew noun — Mazuroth, the mazzaroth: the constellations in their courses (loanword per the μαναά precedent). Josiah abolished the incense burned to sun, moon, and the mazuroth — and the LORD's whirlwind-question reclaims them: "will you bring forth mazuroth in its season?" — worship refused to the stars, wonder redirected to their Leader.

Mazuroth
the constellations

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 23:5 (he incinerated the ones burning incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the Mazuroth — and to all the military of the heaven); Job 38:32 ("will you bring forth Mazuroth in its season — and will you lead the Bear with its offspring?").

G3099.3

μάθημα (mathēma)

(MAH-thee-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a lesson, thing learned (from μανθάνω, to learn); plural here. Jeremiah's bitter tuition-image: 'what will you say when they visit you — and you yourself taught them lessons against yourself, for rule? Shall not pangs seize you as a woman giving birth?' Judah tutored her own conquerors: the alliances she courted were a curriculum, and the students graduated to masters (Jeremiah 13:21; 2:33). Sin as self-taught instruction is the prophets' repeated diagnosis — 'your own wickedness shall correct you' (Jeremiah 2:19).

lesson
thing learned

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 13:21 (what shall you say whenever they should visit you — and you taught them lessons against yourself, for rule? shall not pangs control you as a woman giving birth?).
