μέντοιγε (mentoige)

(MEN-tee-gheh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Particle — however, nevertheless, for all that (μέντοι strengthened with γε). Opening the psalm's verdict on human busyness: 'nevertheless, in an image man passes along; surely in vain he is disturbed — he treasures up, and does not know for whom he shall gather.' Man walks as a shadow-image of himself, feverish over a pile he cannot keep. Jesus retells the verse as a parable: the rich fool's barns and the night his soul is required — 'so is he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God' (Psalm 39:6; Luke 12:20-21).

μεριτεύομαι (meriteuomai)

(meh-ree-TEV-o-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to divide into shares, partition (from μερίς, portion — beside μεριστής, the 'divider' of Luke 12:14). In the Leviathan interrogation: 'do nations feed on him? do the nations of the Phoenicians divide him into portions?' The famous merchant-peoples cannot make the beast a commodity — no market, no harpoon-auction, no shares (Job 41:6-7). The argument is a fortiori: if the creature cannot be carved up by commerce, the Creator cannot be contracted with — 'who has first given to me, that I should repay him? whatever is under the whole heaven is mine' (Job 41:11; Romans 11:35).

to partition
to divide into shares

G3313.1

μεσαῖος (mesaios)

(meh-SEH-os)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of the middle, the between-man (from μέσος, middle; substantive here). The LXX's rendering of the Hebrew אִישׁ הַבֵּנַיִם, 'the man of the between' — the duel-champion who fights in the space between two armies so that two peoples' fates ride on one combat: 'behold, the middle man ascended — his name was Goliath the Philistine from Gath — and David heard.' The whole theology of representative combat is in the title: one stands for all, and his victory or fall is theirs (1 Samuel 17:8-9). David takes the middle space for Israel, and the shepherd's single victory routs an army — the figure the gospel fills with the one Mediator who stood between (1 Timothy 2:5; Romans 5:18-19).

the middle man
duel-champion

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 17:23 (and behold, a man in the middle ascended — the name given to him was Goliath the Philistine from Gath — from the battle array of the Philistines, and David heard).

G3313.2

μεσάντιον (mesantion)

(meh-SAN-tee-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the weaver's beam, the heddle-bar of a loom (from μέσος, middle — the bar through the middle of the warp). Goliath's armory itemized: 'the shaft of his spear was as a weaver's beam, and his lance six hundred shekels of iron; and the one lifting his weapons went before him.' Scripture measures the giant precisely so that the sling-stone's arithmetic stands out: 'the LORD saves not with sword and spear, for the battle is the LORD's' (1 Samuel 17:45-47). The weaver's-beam spear becomes a stock measure for giants (2 Samuel 21:19; 1 Chronicles 20:5) — and every one of them falls.

weaver's beam
loom-bar

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 17:7 (and the shaft of his spear was as the weaver's beam of one weaving; and his lance was six hundred shekels of iron).

μεσημβρινός (mesēmbrinos)

(meh-seem-vree-NOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of midday, noonday (from μεσημβρία, midday). The noonday of Psalm 91 — the destruction that wastes at midday, read by the Greek tradition as the noonday demon — with Job's noon-blind counselors and the plea for a midnight-dark shadow at noon over Moab's outcasts.

of midday
noonday

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 5:14 (they meet darkness in the daytime — and grope at noonday as in the night); Psalms 91:6 (you shall not fear the plague that walks in darkness — nor the destruction that lays waste at noonday); Isaiah 16:3 ("make your shadow like night in the midst of noonday — hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive").

G3314.2

μεσθάαλ (mesthaal)

(mes-THAH-al)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Loanword — the Hebrew מֶלְתָּחָה (meltachah), the vestry or wardrobe-house, transliterated. Jehu's trap dressed its victims: 'Jehu told the one over the wardrobe-house to bring out garments for all the servants of Baal — and the keeper of the wardrobe brought them forth.' The robes served as a census: whoever wore Baal's vestment stood identified when the executioners came (2 Kings 10:22-25). Clothing as allegiance runs the length of Scripture — from Baal's fatal uniform to the wedding garment whose absence is equally fatal (Matthew 22:11-13) and the white robes given, not donned by stealth (Revelation 7:13-14).

wardrobe (meltachah)
vestry

Septuagint usage

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — purple-trimmed, shot through with purple (μέσος + πορφύρα). Both occurrences hang in the wardrobe of the daughters of Zion — the purple-trimmed garments in the catalogue of finery, and the sackcloth that shall replace "the tunic trimmed with purple" in the day the LORD takes it all away.

In the travel-brochure of the good land: 'a land in which without poverty you shall eat your bread... whose stones are iron, and out of whose mountains you shall mine copper.'

The same chapter that promised mined copper began with taught hunger (Deuteronomy 8:3) — both provisions, both pedagogy.

Spoken by God about Himself, at the summit of Hosea: 'How shall I deal with you, Ephraim?... shall I appoint you as Admah, as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me; my relenting is stirred together.' The cities named are Sodom's burned sisters (Deuteronomy 29:23) — Israel deserves their sentence, and the Judge's own compassion revolts against it: 'I will not execute the fierceness of my anger... for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst' (Hosea 11:8-9). The turning happens inside God — the wrath falls, at last, where He Himself absorbs it (Romans 8:32).

relenting
change of heart

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Hosea 11:8 (my heart shall be converted in the same thing; my repentance was disturbed).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — regret, after-sorrow (from μεταμέλλομαι).

regret
after-sorrow

Septuagint usage

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to migrate, be driven from one's home.

μετανίστημι (metanistēmi)

(meh-tah-NIS-tee-mee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to remove from one's abode, migrate, be dislodged; aorist imperative here. From the imprecatory psalm's curse-list against the treacherous accuser: 'being shaken, let his sons change residence and let them beg; let them be cast out of their ruined places.' The psalm is judicial, not spiteful — the petitioner hands his enemy's sentence entirely to God (Psalm 109:4, 'but I give myself to prayer'). Peter reads this very psalm of the office of Judas: 'let another take his overseership' (Psalm 109:8; Acts 1:20) — the betrayer of the ultimate Innocent inherits the ultimate vacancy.

to change residence
to be dislodged

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 109:10 (in being shaken up, let his sons change residence, and let them beg; let them be cast out from their areas).

In the doxology that interrupts Amos's indictment: 'the one making all things and refashioning them, and turning the shadow into morning, and darkening day into night; the one calling on the water of the sea and pouring it upon the face of the earth — the LORD God almighty is his name.' Where the MT names Pleiades and Orion, the LXX generalizes to the Maker's continuous remaking: creation is not a finished artifact but a governed process, turned and re-turned daily. The doxology is planted inside a summons — 'seek the LORD and live' (Amos 5:6, 8) — the Remaker of skies can remake a people (2 Corinthians 5:17).

Verb — to change abode, be displaced (intransitive use here; the same verb the NT has at μετοικίζω in Stephen's history — 'I will displace you beyond Babylon,' Acts 7:43; the ABP files this LXX occurrence under its own number beside μετοικεσία, the 'deportation' of Matthew 1:11-12). David fleeing Absalom releases his foreign volunteer: 'why should you also go with us? Return... for you are an alien yourself, and you are displaced from your place.' Ittai the Gittite answers with one of Scripture's great loyalty-oaths: 'wherever my lord the king shall be, whether for death or life, there your servant will be' (2 Samuel 15:19-21) — a Philistine exile out-covenanting Israel, clinging to the rejected king on his way up Olivet weeping (2 Samuel 15:30; John 12:26).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a displaced person, resettled alien, refugee (from μετοικίζω, to displace). Jeremiah's counter-naming of his jailer: Pashhur the temple officer had beaten the prophet and locked him in the stocks; released, Jeremiah answers, 'the LORD has called your name not Pashhur, but Refugee.' The MT reads Magor-missabib, 'Terror on every side'; the LXX names the terror's outcome — the man who policed God's house will die resettled in Babylon with all his friends (Jeremiah 20:1-6). Persecuting the word does not silence it; it books the persecutor's own passage (Jeremiah 20:9).

refugee
displaced alien

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 20:3 (Jeremiah said to him, The LORD called your name not Pashhur, but instead, Refugee).

In the temple furnishing-list: 'he made ten pots of brass, each holding forty baths, each pot four cubits by measure — one pot upon one base, for the ten bases.' The ten lavers for washing the burnt offerings (2 Chronicles 4:6) are given their gauge like everything else in the house — cubits, baths, shekels — because holiness in Scripture is never vague: the God who commands washing also specifies the basin. The visionary temple ends the same way, a man with a measuring reed (Ezekiel 40:3; Revelation 21:15).

measurement
measure

Artaxerxes reads his cupbearer's face: 'why is your face in a sorry state, and you are not well? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. And I was very much afraid.' Four months of secret mourning over Jerusalem's walls (Nehemiah 1:1-4; 2:1) surface in one unguarded expression — and the exchange that follows contains Scripture's shortest recorded prayer, fired between the king's question and the answer: 'so I prayed to the God of heaven, and I said to the king...' (Nehemiah 2:4-5). The composure broke; the mission began.

to be well

Septuagint usage

The proverb binds the two fears in one clause while the canon keeps their order absolute: when the two commands collide, 'we must obey God rather than men' (Acts 5:29), but where they do not, the same conscience that fears God honors the king (Proverbs 24:21-22; 1 Peter 2:17 — 'fear God; honor the king').

The acrostic poem dignifies textile work as wisdom's embodiment — wool and flax sought willingly, the spindle taken by choice (Proverbs 31:13, 19), the household clothed in scarlet against snow (Proverbs 31:21). Hands that wind thread are the poem's answer to 'charm is deceitful': glory measured in usefulness, 'and let her works praise her in the gates' (Proverbs 31:30-31; Acts 9:39 — Dorcas's tunics shown weeping at her bier).

(mee-khah-NEV-o-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to engineer, contrive by device (from μηχανή, machine — the next entry); perfect passive participle here, 'engineered by calculations.' Uzziah's arms program: 'he made in Jerusalem machines engineered by devices, to be upon the towers and corners, to throw arrows and great stones.' The verse's closing clause carries the chapter's whole theology: 'his apparatus was heard of afar, for he was wonderfully helped, until he grew strong' — and 'when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction' (2 Chronicles 26:15-16). Engineering was grace while he knew it was help; it became ruin the day he read it as himself.

to engineer
to contrive

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 26:15 (and he made in Jerusalem machines being constructed for devices, to be upon the towers and upon the corners, to throw arrows and great stones).

Definition

Noun — a machine, engine, contrivance; plural here of Uzziah's tower-mounted artillery, the catapults and stone-throwers 'engineered by calculations' (the participle of the previous entry stands beside it in the same verse). Scripture's only siege-engine inventory on Judah's side of the wall — and the narrative immediately audits it: the fame was real, the help was God's, and the strength curdled into the censer in the king's hand and leprosy on his forehead (2 Chronicles 26:15-19). The psalm had already priced the hardware: 'some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we will remember the name of the LORD our God' (Psalm 20:7).

machine
siege engine

(MEE-an-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — defilement, act of polluting (the noun of μιαίνω, to defile); cognate dative here, 'with defilement he shall defile him' — the Hebrew infinitive-absolute made Greek. The hardest sentence in the leprosy laws: 'he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall surely declare him defiled — his infection is in his head.' The priest can diagnose defilement exhaustively — fourteen chapters of it — but owns no cure; the leper goes outside the camp, clothes torn, crying 'Unclean' (Leviticus 13:44-46). The reversal waits for the hand that touches lepers and defiles nothing: 'I will; be clean' (Mark 1:41; Hebrews 13:12 — He suffered outside the camp).

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 13:44 (he is a leprous man, he is unclean; in defilement the priest shall declare him defiled — his infection is in his head).

(mee-KRO-tees)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — smallness, littleness (from μικρός, small). The word on which the kingdom tore: Rehoboam's young courtiers script his answer — 'thus you shall say: my littleness is thicker than my father's loins' — the LXX's abstraction of the Hebrew's 'my little finger.' The boast means: my smallest part out-crushes Solomon's whole strength; whips will graduate to scorpions (1 Kings 12:10-11). Ten tribes walk away on the strength of that sentence — 'the thing was from the LORD' (1 Kings 12:15) — and the canon's counter-image stands forever: the true Son of David, 'gentle and lowly in heart,' whose yoke is easy (Matthew 11:29-30).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — red ochre, vermilion, the painter's red earth; dative here. Jehoiakim's renovation project under the woe-oracle: 'you built yourself a well-proportioned house, with airy upper rooms, cut windows, boarded with cedar, and coated in vermilion' — built, the previous verse says, 'by unrighteousness... using his neighbor's service without wages' (Jeremiah 22:13-14). Against the vermilion stands the father's plainer glory: Josiah 'judged the cause of the poor and needy... is not this to know me? says the LORD' (Jeremiah 22:15-16). The paint outlived the painter's honor — Jehoiakim got a donkey's burial (Jeremiah 22:19).
