μνημόσυνα (mnēmosyna)

(mnee-MO-see-nah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective (plural) — of remembrance, memorial; the plural of μνημόσυνον standing adjectivally with 'letters' — 'the records of remembrance of the days' — and filed by the ABP under its own number. The hinge-night of Esther: 'the LORD removed sleep from the king that night, and he told his servant to carry in the records of remembrance of the days, to read to him.' The Hebrew leaves the insomnia unexplained; the LXX names the agent outright. One sleepless king, one archived kindness of Mordecai, and the gallows-plot inverts by morning (Esther 6:1-11) — providence working through a filing system, in the one book that never says God's name in Hebrew and here cannot avoid it in Greek.

records of remembrance
memorial writings

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 6:1 (but the LORD removed the sleep from the king that night; and he told his servant to carry in the letters, the memorandum of the days, to read to him).

The Joseph question — "what if Joseph should hold our evil against us?" — answered by grace, and Zechariah's command: "let none of you keep account of his brother's evil in your heart."

to bear a grudge, resent

Septuagint usage

5 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 50:15 ("lest Joseph hold a grudge against us and repay us all the evil" — the fear grace dissolves); Ezekiel 25:12 (Edom's grudge-keeping vengeance on the house of Judah); Joel 3:4 (Tyre and Sidon — "are you repaying Me? do you hold a grudge against Me?"); Zechariah 7:10 ("let none of you remember his brother's evil in your heart").

G3422.3

μνησίκακος (mnēsikakos)

(mnee-SEE-kah-kos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — remembering evil, resentful, grudge-bearing (μιμνῄσκομαι, to remember + κακόν, evil); genitive plural here. 'In the ways of righteousness is life; but the ways of the resentful are unto death' — where the MT's second clause reads 'in its pathway is no death,' the LXX names the counter-road: the grudge-keeper's memory is his highway to the grave. The diagnosis is the exact negative of love's ledger — love 'does not reckon the evil' (1 Corinthians 13:5) — and of the forgiven servant's failure, who remembered a hundred denarii against his own canceled talents (Matthew 18:28-35).

resentful
grudge-bearing

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 12:28 (in the ways of righteousness is life; but the ways of the resentful are unto death).

μολόχη (molochē)

(mo-LO-khee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the mallow, a soft-leaved plant that wilts fast in heat. Job's portrait of the exalted wicked: 'his arrogance afflicted many, but he withered as a mallow in sweltering heat, and as an ear of grain falling off the stalk by itself.' The oppressor's end needs no assassin — just weather; his stalk lets go of him. The image is Scripture's standing meteorology for the proud: grass that flourishes in the morning (Psalm 37:2; 90:5-6), the rich man fading 'in the midst of his pursuits' like the flower under the scorching wind (James 1:11).

mallow plant
quick-wilting herb

Septuagint usage

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — contamination, befouling (the noun of μολύνω, to defile — the verb of unsoiled garments in Revelation 3:4). In the last sermon to the Egypt-bound remnant, God's summary of centuries of prophetic labor: 'I sent to you my servants the prophets, rising early — saying, You shall not do this thing of contamination which I hated.' The queen-of-heaven incense (Jeremiah 44:17-19) is filed not as alternative spirituality but as filth the LORD detests — and the tragedy of the chapter is the congregation's frank refusal: 'we will not listen' (Jeremiah 44:16). The rising-early God against the settled-in defilement (Jeremiah 7:13, 25).

contamination
befouling

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 44:4 (you shall not do this thing, this contamination which I detested).

Definition

The afflicted man's self-portrait: 'I kept watch, and became as a sparrow living alone upon a roof' — sleepless, small, exposed, the flock gone. Psalm 102 titles itself 'a prayer of the afflicted, when he is faint' and climbs from this lone sparrow to the throne: 'You, LORD, endure forever... You are the same, and Your years shall not fail' — the very verses Hebrews reads as the Father's address to the Son (Psalm 102:25-27; Hebrews 1:10-12). The psalm of the loneliest bird belongs to the Christ who was left alone (John 16:32) so the solitary could be brought home.

Definition

Jacob's blessing cresting on Joseph: 'the blessings of your father prevailed above the blessings of the enduring mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon the head of Joseph.' The patriarch stacks his benediction higher than geology — what a father hands down in covenant outlasts what the earth holds up in stone (Genesis 49:26). Moses repeats the measurement over the same tribe (Deuteronomy 33:15-16), and the prophets take the comparison to its limit: mountains may depart, 'but my kindness shall not depart from you' (Isaiah 54:10).

enduring
stable

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 49:26 (he excelled in strength over the blessing of the enduring mountains, and beyond the blessings of the everlasting hills; they will be upon the head of Joseph).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the solitary wild boar, the lone-ranging hog (from μόνος — the beast that has left the sounder to forage alone). In the vine-psalm's lament: 'the pig from the forest laid her waste, and the solitary boar feeds on her' — the vine brought out of Egypt, planted, walled, and now unwalled to every snout (Psalm 80:8-13). The psalm's plea rises through the ruined vineyard to a person: 'let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man you strengthened for yourself' (Psalm 80:17) — answered when the true Vine stands where the ravaged one failed (John 15:1; Mark 12:1-11).

The terms are total: 'if he prevails and strikes me, we will be your servants' (1 Samuel 17:9) — two armies staked on two bodies. Israel's answer, after forty days of no man (1 Samuel 17:16), is a shepherd with a sling and a Name (1 Samuel 17:45) — representative victory, one for all, the shape the gospel fills at the cross (Colossians 2:15; Romans 5:19).

Septuagint usage

μονόρχις (monorchis)

(mo-NOR-khis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — having one testicle (μόνος + ὄρχις); closing the priestly blemish-roster of Leviticus 21. No son of Aaron with a listed defect — blind, lame, mutilated, hunchbacked, scabbed, or maimed in his generative body — might approach to offer the bread of his God, 'yet he may eat the bread' (Leviticus 21:20-23): barred from the altar, kept at the table. The rule is typology, not cruelty — the mediator must image wholeness, as the victim must be without blemish (Leviticus 22:20) — until the Priest arrives who is 'holy, innocent, undefiled' in fact (Hebrews 7:26) and throws the table open to the maimed, the lame, and the blind (Luke 14:13, 21).

From the Sinai-procession psalm's portrait of God's household policy: 'God settles the solitary in a house, leading out the prisoners with courage — likewise the embittered ones dwelling in tombs.' The Judge of widows and Father of orphans (Psalm 68:5) runs a resettlement program: loners housed, chained ones marched out into the open. The verse is the Old Testament's charter for what Pentecost builds — the isolated made 'members of the household of God' (Ephesians 2:19; Psalm 68:18 is Paul's ascension text, Ephesians 4:8).

solitary
living alone

Septuagint usage

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Loanword — the Hebrew מִשְׁפְּתַיִם (mishpetayim), the sheepfolds or saddle-panniers, transliterated. Deborah's song, in the roll-call of tribes that came and tribes that considered: 'why did you sit between the sheepfolds, to listen to the whistlings of the flocks? For the divisions of Reuben — great searchings of heart.' Reuben held excellent meetings about the war and attended none of it; the pastoral pipe drowned out the trumpet (Judges 5:15-16). The song's ledger is uncomfortable on purpose — Zebulun 'hazarded its soul unto death' in the same stanza-block (Judges 5:18) — the perennial audit of hearts that deliberate versus feet that go (Matthew 21:28-31).

sheepfolds (mishpetayim)
saddle-panniers

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to dress a wound with lint, bind up (from μοτός, the surgeon's lint packing). Israel's penitent liturgy: 'let us go and return to the LORD our God, for he has seized and he will heal us; he shall strike, and he shall dress our wounds.' The hand that tore is the only hand trusted to bandage — judgment and surgery are the same fingers (Deuteronomy 32:39; Job 5:18). The next verse sets the timetable the apostles preached from: 'he will revive us after two days; on the third day we shall rise up and live before him' (Hosea 6:2) — the wounded-and-raised people gathered into the stricken-and-risen Christ, 'raised on the third day according to the Scriptures' (1 Corinthians 15:4).

Heading a taxonomic verse in the swarming-things register: 'the field-mouse, and chameleon, and newt, and lizard, and mole' — all unclean to the touch when dead (Leviticus 11:29-31). The catalog's care down to shrews and geckos taught Israel that holiness has no off-duty zones: 'be holy, for I am holy' is the chapter's own moral (Leviticus 11:44-45, quoted 1 Peter 1:16). The boundary the shrew marked was pedagogy for a season — lifted when the sheet came down from heaven (Acts 10:12-15; Mark 7:19).

The vow-payer's extravagance: 'whole burnt-offerings filled with marrow I will offer up to you, with incense and rams; I will offer to you oxen with goats.' Marrow-fat offerings are worship at richest grade — nothing lean, nothing token — from the man who went through fire and water and out into abundance (Psalm 66:12-15), and who then turns the sacrifice into testimony: 'come and hear, and I will declare what he has done for my soul' (Psalm 66:16).

Zechariah's follow-up question: 'what are the two branches of the olive trees, by the handles of the two golden spouts, pouring and returning the gold oil?' The vision is a supply-line diagram: living trees feeding a burning lamp through golden conduits, no priest refilling — and its caption is the campaign text of the rebuilt temple: 'not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD almighty' (Zechariah 4:6, 11-14). The two anointed sons of oil reappear as the two witnesses standing before the Lord of the earth (Revelation 11:4).

The war-procession psalm counts God's escort: 'the chariot of God is ten-thousand-fold, thousands of flourishing ones; the LORD among them, in Sinai, in the holy place.' Sinai's whole retinue is mobile — the mountain's glory rides — and the very next verse is the line Paul lifts for the ascension: 'you ascended on high, you led captivity captive, you received gifts among men' (Psalm 68:17-18; Ephesians 4:8). The myriad chariots surface again around one frightened servant at Dothan — 'the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire' (2 Kings 6:17) — the standing army of the enthroned Christ (Matthew 26:53).

Definition

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

'Blind, or broken, or tongue-cut, or wart-covered, or with chronic mange, or having scabs — you shall not bring these to the LORD... upon the altar.' The altar's admission standard mirrors the priest's own (Leviticus 21:20, the roster one column over): what represents atonement must be visibly whole, because the type is speaking of the true Lamb — 'without blemish and without spot' (Leviticus 22:22; 1 Peter 1:19). Malachi's priests, shrugging blind and lame animals onto the altar, are charged with despising the Name itself (Malachi 1:8).

wart-covered

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 22:22 (blind, or broken, or with the tongue cut out, or troubled with warts — they shall not bring these to the LORD upon the altar).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the 'ant-lion' (μύρμηξ, ant + λέων, lion) — the LXX's famous curiosity in Eliphaz's first speech, where the MT reads one of Hebrew's five lion-words: 'the ant-lion perished for lack of prey, and the lions' cubs forsook one another.' Whatever creature the translator saw — the ant-devouring insect of the naturalists, or simply a small lion — the sentence's logic stands: even apex predators starve when God withholds; strength is a dependency, not a guarantee (Job 4:10-11). Eliphaz aims it at Job as accusation; the book's end re-aims it as doxology — every lion's meat is the LORD's to give (Job 38:39-41; Psalm 34:10).

ant-lion
small lion

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 4:11 (the small lion is destroyed by not having game; and the cubs of lions forsook one another).

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 6:6 ("go to the ant, O sluggard — and emulate its ways when you see them, and become wiser than it"); Proverbs 30:25 (the ants — in whom there is no strength, yet they prepare their foods in summer).

μυρσίνη (myrsinē)

(meer-SEE-nee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the myrtle. Booths-branch of Nehemiah's restored feast — and Isaiah's twice-planted sign: myrtle in the wilderness, myrtle instead of the brier, an everlasting name for the LORD.

μυσαρός (mysaros)

(mee-sah-ROS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — foul, abominable (from μύσος, defilement). The ground given for the bestiality prohibition in the holiness code: 'a woman shall not set herself before any four-footed creature — for it is foul.' Leviticus 18 draws creation-order lines around the marriage bed and then makes the land itself a moral agent: defiled by these practices, 'the land vomited out its inhabitants' — and will not grade Israel on a curve (Leviticus 18:23-28). The word's force is visceral by design; some boundaries are guarded not by argument but by nausea, the conscience's memory of Eden's order (Genesis 2:24; Romans 1:24-25).

foul
abominable

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 18:23 (and a woman shall not set herself with any four-footed creature to breed; for it is detestable).

(MEES-tax)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the mustache, upper lip. The court's forensic evidence for a lame man's loyalty: 'Mephibosheth... had not attended to his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his garments, from the day the king departed until the day he came in peace.' While Ziba worked the road with gifts and slander (2 Samuel 16:1-4), the son of Jonathan wore his grief where it could not be faked — an untrimmed lip through the whole exile of the king (2 Samuel 19:24). Loyalty legible in the body, mourning until the return: the posture Scripture assigns the bride between departure and appearing (Matthew 9:15; 2 Timothy 4:8).

mustache
upper lip

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Samuel 19:24 (and he attended not to his feet, nor prepared his mustache, and his garments he did not wash from the day the king went forth until the day he came in peace).

μωκάομαι (mōkaomai)

(mo-KAH-o-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to mock, hold up to ridicule; perfect passive participle here — 'things having been made a mockery.' The idol-audit in the oracle against Babylon: 'they are vain works, objects of mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.' The satire has already run its course — the smith's bellows, the gilded mute, 'every founder is put to shame by his graven image' (Jeremiah 51:17-18; 10:14-15) — so the gods of the empire enter God's ledger not as rivals but as punchlines with an expiration date. The taunt is mercy in disguise: it clears the field for 'the portion of Jacob... the one who formed all things' (Jeremiah 51:19).

to be mocked
held in derision

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 51:18 (they are vain works, being scorned; in the time of their visitation they shall be destroyed).

G3469.1

μωμητός (mōmētos)

(mo-mee-TOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — blameworthy, marked with blemish (verbal adjective of μωμάομαι, to find fault — Paul's word at 2 Corinthians 8:20); plural here. The Song of Moses' indictment: 'they sinned — not his children, blemished ones — a crooked and perverted generation.' The covenant nation wears the vocabulary of a defective sacrifice. Paul writes the exact photographic negative over the church: 'children of God without blemish (ἄμωμα) in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation' (Deuteronomy 32:5; Philippians 2:15) — same generation-language, the blemish transferred and removed by the Lamb 'without blemish' (1 Peter 1:19; Jude 1:24).

blameworthy
blemished

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 32:5 (they sinned — they are not his children; they are a scoffing — a crooked generation, and one turning aside).

ναίω (naiō)

(NEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to dwell, inhabit (the old poetic verb of abode); participle here. Eliphaz's cosmology, true in itself however misapplied to Job: 'does not the one inhabiting the high places inspect? and the ones borne along in insolence he humbled.' Height, for God, is not distance but vantage — the high dwelling is an observation post over every proud head (Job 22:12; Psalm 113:5-6). The prophets complete what Eliphaz cannot: the High One's address includes a second residence — 'I dwell in the high and holy place, and with him who is contrite and lowly of spirit' (Isaiah 57:15) — the descent the incarnation makes literal (John 1:14).

to inhabit
to dwell

Septuagint usage

The bride's planned hospitality: 'I shall bring you into the house of my mother... I will give you to drink from the spiced wine, from the juice of my pomegranates.' Love in the Song is never abstract — it pours: spiced wine, pressed fruit, the best of the garden she earlier called his own ('let my beloved come into his garden and eat,' Song of Solomon 4:16; 8:2). The Bridegroom of the gospel receives such hospitality and outgives it — the water made wine at a wedding (John 2:9-10), the cup He will drink new in the kingdom (Matthew 26:29).

flowing juice
stream

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Song of Solomon 8:2 (I will give you to drink from the scented wine, of the juice of my pomegranates).

ναῦλον (naulon)

Noun — passage-money, a ship's fare (from ναῦς, ship — beside ναύκληρος, the shipmaster of Acts 27:11). The most quietly devastating detail in Jonah's flight: 'he found a boat proceeding to Tarshish, and he gave his fare, and went aboard to sail with them — away from the face of the LORD.' Running from God is the only journey the prophet ever pays for; obedience would have cost him nothing but himself. The purchased ticket buys a storm, a lottery, and a fish (Jonah 1:4-17) — while the return trip is grace's fare, free and non-negotiable: 'salvation belongs to the LORD' (Jonah 2:9). The greater-than-Jonah pays every fare in the other direction (Matthew 12:41; Mark 10:45).

Loanword — the ostrich (transliterating a Hebrew bird-name from Job's whirlwind vocabulary; the MT of the verse runs 'the wing of the ostriches rejoices' with רְנָנִים, the 'joyous-crying' bird). God's zoology exam reaches the ostrich: 'the wing of those delighting — the ostrich; but should the stork and the falcon conceive so?' There follows Scripture's fondest portrait of a foolish creature: eggs left in the dust, young treated roughly, 'for God caused wisdom to be forgotten to her' — and yet when she runs 'she laughs at the horse and its rider' (Job 39:13-18). Even divinely-appointed folly outruns human strength; the Maker delights in creatures useless to us and delightful to Him (Psalm 104:26-31).

The temple coup that saved the messianic line: 'he brought forth the son of the king, and put upon him the nezer, and the testimony; and he anointed him... and they clapped their hands and said, Let the king live!' Seven-year-old Joash, hidden six years from Athaliah's massacre of the royal seed (2 Kings 11:1-3), is crowned with two objects — the diadem and the covenant document — royalty under Scripture from the first minute (Deuteronomy 17:18-20). The nezer is also the high priest's golden plate (Exodus 29:6), 'Holy to the LORD': one word for both consecrated heads, joined at last in the Priest-King (Zechariah 6:11-13; Hebrews 7:1-2).

diadem (nezer)
