νεόω (neoō)

(neh-O-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to plow anew, break up fallow ground (from νέος, new — to make the field new); aorist imperative here with its cognate noun, 'new-plow yourselves new-plowed ground.' The pre-exilic altar call: 'thus says the LORD to the men of Judah and the dwellers of Jerusalem: Plow yourselves fields prepared for plowing, and do not sow among thorn-bushes.' Repentance is tillage — hard crust broken before seed is spent; the same husbandry Hosea orders ('sow for yourselves righteousness... for it is time to seek the LORD,' Hosea 10:12). The unbroken, thorn-choked soil reappears in the parable, where the word is strangled by cares and riches (Jeremiah 4:3-4; Matthew 13:7, 22).

to plow anew

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 4:3 (plow to yourselves fields prepared for plowing, and you should not sow among thorn-bushes).

νέσσα (nessa)

(NES-sah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Loanword — transliterating the Hebrew נֹצָה (notsah), plumage, feathers, in the whirlwind speech's ostrich riddle: 'the wing of those delighting — the ostrich; but should the stork conceive, and the falcon-plumage?' The verse sets the gorgeous-but-foolish wing beside the wise nesting birds — the ostrich has splendid feathers and no nest-sense, leaving her eggs to the dust (Job 39:13-16). The Maker's point is His own: some glories He distributes without utility, 'for God caused wisdom to be forgotten to her' (Job 39:17), and He remains glad in what puzzles us (Psalm 104:31).

plumage (notsah)
feathers

νέωμα (neōma)

(NEH-o-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — newly-broken ground, a fallow field turned (the cognate object of νεόω, one entry family back — the ABP's verse prints verb and noun together, 'new-plow yourselves new-plowings'). Jeremiah's farming figure for national repentance: the ground of the heart has lain fallow long enough to crust and seed itself with thorns; sowing without plowing wastes the seed on the surface. The command's inward translation follows one verse later: 'circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart' (Jeremiah 4:3-4) — the plowshare God ultimately takes up Himself in the new heart promised (Ezekiel 36:26).

The Hebrew verb is נצח (to superintend — the root of the psalm-titles' 'choirmaster'); the LXX hears victory in it: supervision of God's work is victory-making, worship-work carried to completion. The same root's noun becomes the resurrection shout — 'death is swallowed up in victory' (εἰς νῖκος, Isaiah 25:8; 1 Corinthians 15:54) — the final building-completion of all (Zechariah 4:7-9).

Definition

God's laundry-audit of Judah: 'though you should wash in lye and multiply soap for yourself, still you are stained in your iniquities before me, says the LORD.' Guilt is not on the skin; the best chemistry of self-reform leaves the spot untouched because the spot is the self (Jeremiah 2:22; 13:23 — the leopard's spots). What lye cannot lift, another agent does: 'though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow' (Isaiah 1:18) — a whiteness bought, not scrubbed (1 John 1:7; Revelation 7:14).

Four precipitations, four tempos: the word arrives as downpour and as dew, torrent and quiet accumulation (Deuteronomy 32:2). Isaiah completes the meteorology — rain and snow do not return without watering the earth, 'so shall my word be... it shall not return to me empty' (Isaiah 55:10-11).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — with the mind engaged, discerningly (from νοέω, to perceive — printed here in a cognate pair, 'intelligibly comprehend'). Wisdom's etiquette for dining with power: 'if you sit to sup at the table of a monarch, discerningly discern the things set before you' — the dishes are data; a ruler's hospitality has terms, and his delicacies are 'deceitful bread' (Proverbs 23:1-3). The doubled thinking-word makes the table a test of attention: appetite unexamined becomes leverage in another man's hand. The only table with no hidden clause is the one where the Host is the sacrifice (Proverbs 9:1-5; Luke 22:19-20).

discerningly

The valiant woman's speech-ethic: 'she opens her mouth wisely and lawfully, and charity is on her tongue' — the LXX's rendering of the Hebrew 'the torah of kindness is on her tongue' (Proverbs 31:26).

The nesting hedgehog is prophecy's signature of finished judgment: where empire roared, small creatures breed undisturbed. Revelation reprises the scene for the last Babylon — 'a dwelling place of demons... a haunt of every unclean bird' (Revelation 18:2) — while God's people are promised the opposite trajectory: ruins rebuilt, cities inhabited (Isaiah 58:12).

(noo-THEH-tee-mah)

Definition

Noun — an admonition, a putting-in-mind (from νουθετέω, to admonish — Paul's discipling verb, Colossians 1:28). Eliphaz's beatitude, true even in the mouth that misapplies it: 'blessed is the man whom the LORD reproved; and the admonition of the Almighty do not refuse.' Wisdom's parallel makes it canonical — 'my son, do not despise the discipline of the LORD' (Proverbs 3:11-12) — and Hebrews preaches it whole: discipline is the evidence of sonship, 'God is treating you as sons' (Hebrews 12:5-7). The admonition refused is an inheritance declined; received, it yields 'the peaceable fruit of righteousness' (Hebrews 12:11).

admonition
reproof

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — admonishing, the act of putting in mind (a second noun of νουθετέω, beside νουθέτημα one entry above). In the LXX's rendering of wisdom's transmission-clause: 'your ear shall obey wisdom, and you shall apply your heart to understanding — and you shall apply it for admonition to your son.' What the ear takes in, the mouth hands down: wisdom received creates the obligation to admonish the next generation (Proverbs 2:1-2 LXX; Deuteronomy 6:6-7). The household grammar carries into the new covenant unbroken — 'bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord' (Ephesians 6:4).

admonishing

νωθροκάρδιος (nōthrokardios)

(no-thro-KAR-dee-os)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — dull of heart, sluggish-hearted (νωθρός, sluggish — Hebrews' word for dull hearing, Hebrews 5:11 — + καρδία, heart). The proverb's social audit: 'the mouth of the discerning is lauded by a man, but the dull of heart is sneered at.' Wisdom is public — discernment wins praise, while the heart too sluggish to perceive earns the room's contempt (Proverbs 12:8). Scripture treats dullness of heart not as low aptitude but as culpable drift — 'their heart grew fat' (Isaiah 6:10) — and its cure is not cleverness but quickening: 'did not our hearts burn within us?' (Luke 24:32).

dull of heart
sluggish-hearted

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 12:8 (the mouth of the discerning is lauded by a man; but the dull of heart is sneered at).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Loanword — the Hebrew נֹקֵד (noqed), a sheep-master, large-scale herdsman, transliterated. The tribute economy of Moab: 'Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams with the fleece' — until Ahab died and Mesha rebelled (2 Kings 3:4-5). The rare title appears exactly once more in the Hebrew Bible: Amos was 'among the noqedim of Tekoa' (Amos 1:1) — a king and a prophet sharing one job description, and the shepherd from Tekoa outlasting the shepherd-king of Moab, because 'the LORD took me from following the flock' (Amos 7:15).

sheep-master (noqed)

Septuagint usage

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be yellowish, show yellow (from ξανθός, yellow). The diagnostic word of the scall-law: thin yellowish hair in the mark decides the priest's verdict.

Noun — a gift of homage or hospitality; tribute (from ξένος, guest, stranger; cf. ξενίζω above).

(kseh-nis-MOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an entertaining of guests, a hospitality-meal (from ξενίζω, to host a stranger). The proverb that prices a dinner by its atmosphere: 'better a hospitality of vegetables with friendship and favor, than a banquet of calves with hatred.' The LXX's word makes the point structural — what is served is hosting, not food; a plate of greens can carry more welcome than a fatted feast carries with resentment in the room (Proverbs 15:17; 17:1). The gospel's tables run on this rule — the Pharisee's banquet without love, the sinner's ointment with it (Luke 7:36-47), and the Supper itself: bread, wine, and covenant friendship (Luke 22:15).

hospitality-meal
entertainment of guests

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 15:17 (better hospitality of vegetables with friendship and favor, than a fete of calves with hatred).

The widow of Zarephath's last menu: 'a handful of flour in the pitcher, a little oil in the jar — and behold, I am gathering two sticks, and I shall go in and make it for myself and my children, and we shall eat and die.' Two sticks' worth of fire between a household and starvation — and there God stations His prophet, and the flour does not fail 'until the day the LORD gives rain' (1 Kings 17:12-16). Jesus holds her up as the election-of-grace scandal of His hometown sermon: many widows in Israel, and Elijah sent to none but her (Luke 4:25-26).

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 17:12 (and behold, I shall collect together two sticks, and I shall enter and make it for myself and my children, and we shall eat and die).

The law behind it: 'fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out' (Leviticus 6:12-13). Perpetual worship runs on scheduled logistics — someone must haul wood, and Nehemiah's community made even the hauling covenantal (Nehemiah 10:34; 13:31), a rotation of ordinary families keeping atonement's fire lit.

wood-offering
wood-carrying

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Nehemiah 10:34 (and we cast lots for the gifts of bearing wood, to bring into the house of our God, year by year, to burn upon the altar of the LORD our God, as is written in the law).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to board with wood, panel (from ξύλον, wood).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a paired team, a two-horse chariot (from the old ξυν- prefix + the yoke-word — two yoked as one). The watchman's sighting in the Desert-of-the-Sea oracle: 'behold, he comes — a rider of a paired chariot; and answering he said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon, and all her statues; her handmade idols are broken unto the ground.' One rider, one sentence, and the empire is past tense — with its gods itemized in the wreckage, since Babylon's fall is first a theological event (Isaiah 21:9; 46:1). The double cry echoes to the canon's end: 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great' (Revelation 14:8; 18:2) — every rival city has the same obituary already drafted.

two-horse chariot
paired team

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 21:9 (and behold, he comes — a rider of a double chariot; and responding he said, Fallen, fallen is Babylon, and all her statues).

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 22:12 (the Lord, the LORD of hosts, called in that day for weeping, and beating the breast — and for shaving, and for girding of sackcloth); Micah 1:16 (shave and shear for your tender children — widen your shaving as an eagle, for they were taken captive from you).

G3587.2

(ksee-RON)

Definition

The instrument whose absence marks consecration — "no razor shall come upon his head," Nazirite and Samson alike — and whose figure Isaiah turns to judgment: the LORD shaving Judah "with the hired razor beyond the River, the king of Assyria."

razor
the consecration mark ("no razor on his head")

Septuagint usage

7 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 6:5 (all the days of the vow of purification, a razor shall not come upon his head — the Nazirite); Judges 16:17 (a razor has not come upon my head, for I have been holy to God from my mother's womb — Samson's secret); Isaiah 7:20 (in that day the Lord shall shave with the hired razor beyond the River — the king of Assyria); Ezekiel 5:1 (take a sharp sword, as a barber's razor, upon your head and beard — the sign of the thirds).

The stones of two houses: David's gathered masons hewing planed stones for the house of God — and Amos's woe on the planed-stone houses built by oppression: "you built planed houses, but in no way shall you dwell in them."

planed
dressed (stone)

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 22:2 (David told them to gather the foreigners in the land of Israel — and he placed quarriers to quarry planed stones, to build the house of God); Amos 5:11 (because they beat the poor with fists, and you received choice gifts from them — you built planed houses, but in no way shall you dwell in them; you planted desirable vineyards, but in no way shall you drink their wine).

ξύω (xyō)

(XEE-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to scrape. Job's verb on the ash heap in both occurrences — the potsherd taken "to scrape the pus" — and his own report of flesh melting into clods scraped away — the anti-throne from which the canon's deepest questions were asked.

to scrape

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 2:8 (he took a potsherd to scrape away the pus — and he sat upon the dung heap outside the city); Job 7:5 ("my body seethes with the rot of worms — and I waste away, scraping clods of earth from pus").

ὀβελίσκος (obeliskos)

(o-veh-LEES-kos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a small spit, pointed skewer (diminutive of ὀβελός, a roasting-spit; whence 'obelisk'); plural here of Leviathan's underside. From the beast's dossier: 'his bed is sharp points, and all the gold of the sea under him is as untold mud.' Where other creatures need soft ground, Leviathan sleeps on skewers and treats treasure as sludge — invulnerable below, contemptuous of wealth, unbribable and unhuntable (Job 41:30; 41:26-29). The portrait's purpose is doxological a fortiori: if the creature is beyond man's tackle, 'who then is he who can stand before me?' (Job 41:10) — none, and the man who grasps it repents in dust (Job 42:6).

sharp point
small spit

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 41:30 (his strewn bed is of sharp points; and all the gold of the sea under him is as untold mud).

Noun; obol — the LXX's small money-weight rendering the Hebrew גֵּרָה (gerah), one-twentieth of the holy shekel.

obol (the gerah, 1/20 shekel)
small coin, least weight

Septuagint usage

7 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 30:13 (the half-shekel offering to the LORD — the shekel is twenty obols — the atonement money); Numbers 3:47 (five shekels apiece by the holy shekel — twenty obols the shekel — the redemption of the firstborn); 1 Samuel 2:36 (everyone left of your house shall come to bow for an obol of silver — the doom of Eli's line); Ezekiel 45:12 (the shekel shall be twenty obols — the restored standards of the vision).

ὀγδοηκονταέξ (ogdoēkontahex)

(og-do-ee-kon-tah-EX)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Numeral — eighty-six (ὀγδοήκοντα + ἕξ). The timestamp on the flesh's shortcut: 'Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.' Eleven years after the promise entered Canaan (Genesis 12:4), the household engineered an heir — and the very next verse of the narrative is thirteen years of divine silence: 'Abram was ninety-nine years old' when the LORD appeared again (Genesis 17:1). The chronology is the commentary. Paul reads the two sons as two covenants: the one 'born according to the flesh' and the one 'through promise' (Galatians 4:22-23) — what self-help begat at eighty-six, grace overruled at a hundred (Genesis 21:2, 5).

eighty-six

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 16:16 (and Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram).

G3589.2

ὀγδοηκονταπέντε (ogdoēkontapente)

(ogh-dho-ee-kon-dah-PEN-deh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Numeral — eighty-five (from ὀγδοήκοντα, eighty, + πέντε fused into one written form — a compound cardinal the traditional Strong's list leaves slotless). Doeg's slaughter of the priests of Nob — and the hundred eighty-five thousand of the Assyrian camp, in both tellings.

eighty-five

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 22:18 (Doeg the Edomite turned and struck the priests — on that day he put to death eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod); 2 Kings 19:35 (that night the angel of the LORD went out and struck a hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria — and behold, all of them were dead bodies); Isaiah 37:36 (the parallel record — the angel of the LORD struck a hundred eighty-five thousand in the Assyrian camp).

G3589.3

ὀγδοηκοντατέσσαρες (ogdoēkontatessares)

(og-do-ee-kon-tah-TES-sah-res)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Numeral — eighty-four (ὀγδοήκοντα + τέσσαρες). From the census of the repopulated holy city: 'all the Levites in the holy city — two hundred eighty-four.' Jerusalem after the wall was rebuilt was underpopulated, and families were conscripted by lot — one in ten — while volunteers were blessed by the people (Nehemiah 11:1-2). The Chronicler-style roll that follows names gatekeepers, singers, and the overseer of the giving of thanks (Nehemiah 11:17), because in Scripture headcounts are liturgy: God's city is peopled by name and number, down to the last four of the two hundred eighty-four (Isaiah 4:3; Luke 10:20).

eighty-four

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Nehemiah 11:18 (all the Levites in the holy city — two hundred eighty-four).

G3589.4

ὀγδοηκοντατρεῖς (ogdoēkontatreis)

(og-do-ee-kon-tah-TREES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Numeral — eighty-three (ὀγδοήκοντα + τρεῖς); genitive here. The ages on the credentials presented to Pharaoh: 'Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron eighty-three, when they spoke to Pharaoh.' The exodus's front line is two old men — one a fugitive shepherd forty years out of relevance (Exodus 2:15; 7:7; Acts 7:23, 30). The numbers preach: God's timetable ripens servants past the age ambition retires them, so that the strength on display is unmistakably His (2 Corinthians 4:7). Moses' own psalm prices the years — 'seventy, or by strength eighty' (Psalm 90:10) — and his ministry began at the far edge of that span.

eighty-three

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 7:7 (and Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty-three years old when they spoke to Pharaoh).

G3589.5

ὀγδοηκοστός (ogdoēkostos)

(og-do-ee-kos-TOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Numeral — eightieth (ordinal of ὀγδοήκοντα); dative here inside the canon's great date-stamp: 'in the four hundred and eightieth year of the exodus of the sons of Israel out of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign... he built the house to the LORD.' One clause spans the whole wilderness-to-worship arc: redemption (exodus) counted forward to residence (temple), 480 years measured as a single sentence (1 Kings 6:1). The pattern is redemptive history's shape — brought out in order to be brought in, 'you shall serve God upon this mountain' (Exodus 3:12) — completed when the true temple rose in three days (John 2:19-21).
