G4001.1

πεντάπηχυς (pentapēchys)

(pen-TAH-pee-khees)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — five cubits tall (πέντε + πῆχυς, cubit). Benaiah's third exploit: 'he struck the Egyptian man, a man of good height, five cubits — and in the Egyptian's hand a spear like a weaver's beam; and Benaiah went down against him with a staff, and wrested the spear from the Egyptian's hand, and killed him with his own spear' (1 Chronicles 11:23). Seven-and-a-half feet of giant, disarmed by a man carrying a stick — the Goliath-pattern in miniature (the same weaver's-beam spear, 1 Samuel 17:7), where the enemy's own weapon finishes him (1 Samuel 17:51). The mighty men's exploits orbit David as the church's victories orbit David's Son, who disarmed the strong by the strong one's own instrument — death by death (Hebrews 2:14; Colossians 2:15).

five cubits tall

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 11:23 (and this one struck the Egyptian man, a tall man, five cubits; and in the hand of the Egyptian was a spear as the beam of a loom of one weaving).

G4001.2

πενταπλασίως (pentaplasiōs)

(pen-tah-plah-SEE-os)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — five-fold, five times over (πέντε + the -πλάσιος multiplier). At Joseph's table, incognito: 'portions were lifted from him to them, and Benjamin's portion was magnified above the portions of all — five-fold over theirs; and they drank and were merry with him.' The oversized helping is a designed experiment: the brothers once sold the favored son over a robe — will visible favoritism toward Rachel's other boy reopen the wound? (Genesis 43:34; 37:3-4). They pass the appetizer-test and, in the next chapter, the real one — Judah offering himself in Benjamin's place (Genesis 44:33) — the substitute-speech that unlocks Joseph's disclosure (Genesis 45:1-4) and prefigures Judah's greater Son (Mark 10:45).

five-fold
five times over

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 43:34 (and the portion of Benjamin was magnified over the portions of all — five-fold over those; and they drank and became intoxicated with him).

G4001.3

πενταπλοῦς (pentaplous)

(pen-tah-PLOOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — five-fold (πέντε + the -πλοῦς fold-suffix); plural here of the inner-sanctuary doorframe: 'for the doorway of the dabir he made doors of juniper wood, and five-fold doorposts.' The oracle — the Most Holy Place housing the ark — got olive-wood doors carved with cherubim and gold overlay on a five-sided post system (1 Kings 6:31-32): even the threshold geometry of the innermost room was bespoke. Scripture's architecture always preaches at the doorway — cherubim guard this entrance as they guarded Eden's (Genesis 3:24) — until the veil of the same room tears top to bottom (Matthew 27:51) and the way in stands 'new and living' (Hebrews 10:19-20).

five-fold
pentagonal (of doorposts)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 6:31 (and for the doorway of the dabir he made doors of wood of juniper, and doorways five-fold).

Dan's three tribes form the rear guard of the wilderness formation (Numbers 2:25-31) — the position Deuteronomy calls gathering up 'all the stragglers' (cf. Joshua 6:9, the rear ward after the ark). The camp arithmetic preaches order: every tribe counted, stationed, and sequenced around the tabernacle at the center (Numbers 2:2, 17) — a nation shaped like its worship, as the last city is shaped, twelve gates around the throne (Revelation 21:12-13).

fifty-seven

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 2:31 (all the ones being numbered of the camp of Dan — a hundred and fifty-seven thousand and six hundred; last they shall lift away according to their order).

(pen-dee-kos-TOS)

Definition

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

Septuagint usage

4 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 25:10 ("you shall consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants; it shall be a Jubilee for you"); Leviticus 25:11 (the fiftieth year shall be a Jubilee — you shall not sow, nor reap what grows of itself); 2 Kings 15:23 (in the fiftieth year of Azariah king of Judah, Pekahiah son of Menahem began to reign over Israel in Samaria); 2 Kings 15:27 (in the fiftieth and second year of Azariah, Pekah son of Remaliah began his twenty years over Israel).

(PEH-pee-ros)

Definition

Adjective — ripe, matured; plural here in the cupbearer's dream: 'in the grapevine were three lower branches, and it flourishing, bearing shoots — ripe, the clusters of grapes.' The dream compresses a season into a glance — budding, blossom, ripe clusters — and Joseph reads the acceleration: three branches, three days, restoration (Genesis 40:9-13). The prison-interpreter's preface is the entry's theology: 'do not interpretations belong to God?' (Genesis 40:8) — read in a dungeon by a slave whose own ripeness God was scheduling, two years ahead of Pharaoh's dreams (Genesis 41:1, 14-16). Seasons ripen on His calendar, prisoners included (Psalm 105:17-22; Galatians 4:4).

matured

from the perfect of the alternate of G3958; reliance; confidence, trust.

trust, confidence, reliance

G4006.1

πεποιθότως (pepoithotōs)

(peh-pee-tho-TOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — confidently, securely, in settled trust (from the perfect of πείθω — the family of πεποίθησις). Both occurrences promise the same eschatological safety: Judah saved and Jerusalem "dwelling securely" in the days of the Righteous Branch whose name is "The LORD our Righteousness" — and Zechariah's finale, no more curse, and Jerusalem dwelling securely.

securely
confidently

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 33:16 (in those days Judah shall be delivered, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely — and this is the name which He shall call her: The-LORD-our-righteousness); Zechariah 14:11 (and it shall dwell in her — and there shall not be an anathema any longer; and Jerusalem shall dwell securely).

G4006.2

πέπων (pepōn)

(PEH-pone)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a melon (literally 'the ripened one'); plural here in the wilderness craving-list: 'we remember the fish we ate in Egypt free of charge, and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlics.' Nostalgia's menu omits one ingredient: the price — 'free of charge' meant slavery's wages (Numbers 11:5; Exodus 1:13-14). Appetite rewrites history, grading manna down ('nothing but this manna,' Numbers 11:6) against a bondage-buffet remembered without the whips. The craving-camp got its quail and its graves in the same field — Kibroth-hattaavah, 'graves of craving' (Numbers 11:33-34; Psalm 106:14-15) — the standing warning against looking back better than it was (Luke 9:62; 17:32).

melon

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 11:5 (we remember the fishes which we ate in Egypt without charge, and the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlics).

G4007.1

περαίνω (perainō)

(peh-REH-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to bring to an end, accomplish, achieve. Samuel's plea against apostasy — do not follow after the gods that are nothing, "which shall achieve nothing" — and Habakkuk's woe against arrogance: the pretentious man shall achieve nothing — the double verdict on every project without God.

to achieve
to accomplish

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 12:21 ("do not turn aside after the ones being nothing — who shall achieve nothing, and who shall not rescue, for they are nothing"); Habakkuk 2:5 (the arrogant and the despiser — a pretentious man — should he have achieved nothing at all: who widened his soul as Hades, and this one as death is never filled).

limit
end

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 4:8 (there is one alone, without a second — and there is no limit to all his toil; his eye is not satisfied with riches: "for whom do I toil and deprive my soul of good?"); Ecclesiastes 4:16 (there is no limit to all the people, to all who were before them — and those who come after will not rejoice in him); Ecclesiastes 12:12 ("and beyond these, my son, beware — of making many books there is no limit, and much study is weariness of the flesh").

G4009.2

περάτης (peratēs)

(peh-RAH-tees)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a crosser-over, one from beyond (from πέραν, the far side) — the LXX's rendering of Scripture's first 'Hebrew': 'one of the rescued came and reported to Abram the crosser-over; and he dwelt at the oak of Mamre.' Where the Hebrew reads ha-'ivri (the Hebrew, from 'ever, 'the region beyond'), the Greek translates the etymology: Abram is the man from across the River, the one who crossed over when called (Genesis 14:13; Joshua 24:2-3 — 'your fathers dwelt beyond the River... and I took your father Abraham from beyond the River'). Identity as itinerary: the father of the faithful is defined by the crossing, 'a stranger and sojourner' to the end (Genesis 23:4), seeking the country he never repossessed on earth (Hebrews 11:9-10, 13-16).

crosser-over
one from beyond (Hebrew)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 14:13 (one of the ones being rescued came and reported to Abram, to the traveler; and he dwelt at the oak of Mamre).

G4011.1

πέρδιξ (perdix)

(PER-diks)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the partridge. Jeremiah's proverb of misgotten wealth: 'the partridge calls out, gathering together what she did not hatch — so is the man having his riches, but not with judgment: at the half of his days they will abandon him, and at his end he will be a fool.' The folk-image (a bird brooding eggs not her own, hatchlings that leave) prices unjust gain exactly: it never belonged, so it never stays (Jeremiah 17:11). The proverb sits deliberately beside the sanctuary-verse — 'a throne of glory on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary' (Jeremiah 17:12) — one treasure abandons its holder; the other holds its treasurer. Jesus retells the partridge as the barn-builder: 'and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?' (Luke 12:20-21).

partridge

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 17:11 (the partridge speaks out loud, gathering together what she did not give birth to; so the man having his riches but not with equity — in the first half of his days his riches will leave him).

Note

In comparative, it retains substantially the same meaning of circuit (around), excess (beyond), or completeness (through).

Septuagint usage

6 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 27:11 (the court pillars with their silver-plated fittings); Exodus 38:17 (capitals overlaid with silver, pillars banded with silver); Psalm 68:13 ("the wings of a dove being silvered, her pinions with the greenness of gold"); Isaiah 30:22 (the silver-plated idols defiled and scattered like filth).

περίβλεπτος (peribleptos)

(peh-REE-vlep-tos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — looked at from every side, admired (verbal adjective of περιβλέπω, to look around). The valiant woman's reflected glory: 'her husband becomes admired in the gates, whenever he sits in council with the elders of the land.' The poem credits her industry for his standing — the man is conspicuous at court partly because his house is in order behind him (Proverbs 31:23, in the acrostic of her fields, wool, and lamps; Proverbs 12:4, 'an excellent wife is the crown of her husband'). Honor in Scripture is largely borrowed light — spouses crowning spouses, children crowning the aged (Proverbs 17:6), the church the joy-crown of her apostle (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20), and all of it lent from one Source (1 Corinthians 4:7).

admired
conspicuous

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 31:23 (and her husband is admired at the gate, whenever he should sit in the sanhedrin with the aged of the land).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a wrap-around garment, covering (from περιβάλλω, to throw around). From the purification orders after Midian: 'every wrap-around garment, and every item of skin, and every work of goat's hair, and every wooden item — you shall purify.' The returning army itself waited outside the camp seven days (Numbers 31:19-20, 24); even the baggage needed cleansing, metals through fire, the rest through water (Numbers 31:22-23). War, even commanded war, defiles — the theology beneath David's disqualification from temple-building (1 Chronicles 22:8). Holiness audits down to the kit-bag: 'cleanse ourselves from every defilement of flesh and spirit' (2 Corinthians 7:1; Jude 1:23 — 'hating even the garment').

wrap-around garment
covering

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 31:20 (and every wrap-around garment, and every item made of skin, and every work of goat skin, and every wooden item, you shall purify).

G4018.1

περιβολή (peribolē)

(peh-ree-vo-LEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a wrapping, outer mantle (beside περιβόλαιον — the 'mantle' of Hebrews 1:12). In Jacob's Shiloh-oracle over Judah: 'binding his foal to the grapevine... he shall wash his apparel in wine, and his mantle in the blood of the grape.' The coming ruler's clothing is grape-stained — abundance so extravagant that wine does laundry (Genesis 49:11, after 'the scepter shall not depart... until Shiloh comes,' Genesis 49:10). But the canon lets the image darken with distance: the wine-washed mantle becomes the winepress-stained garments of the lone Treader (Isaiah 63:2-3) and the robe 'dipped in blood' of the rider called the Word of God (Revelation 19:13). One wardrobe, first fruitfulness, finally judgment — both his by right (John 2:1-11; Revelation 14:19-20).

mantle
outer wrapping

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 49:11 (he shall wash his apparel in wine, and his wrap-around garment in the blood of the grape).

G4018.2

περίβολος (peribolos)

(peh-REE-vo-los)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an enclosure, enclosing wall (cf. the base περιβόλαιον, a wrap-around covering). Zion's promised enclosure of choice stones — and the measured enclosure of Ezekiel's visionary temple, walling off the holy from the common.

enclosure
enclosing wall

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 54:12 ("I will make your battlements jasper, your gates stones of crystal, and your enclosure choice stones"); Ezekiel 40:5 (behold, an enclosure outside the house all around — and in the man's hand the measuring reed of six cubits); Ezekiel 42:20 (he measured the four sides — it had an enclosure all around, five hundred long and five hundred wide, to divide between the holy and the profane).

G4018.3

περιγίνομαι (periginomai)

(peh-ree-GHEE-no-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to accrue to, come to one as surplus advantage; aorist passive participle here — 'the understanding that accrued to him.' David's handover-testimony over the temple blueprints: 'all of it in writing from the hand of the LORD — he gave David understanding of the working-out of the pattern.' The plans for porches, treasuries, courses, and cherubim-chariot came the way the tabernacle's had — by pattern shown, not committee drafted (1 Chronicles 28:11-19; Exodus 25:9, 40). The verse's humility is structural: the wisest engineering David owned was received, an accrued grace 'from the hand of the LORD upon me' — and the true sanctuary is likewise 'pitched by the Lord, not man' (Hebrews 8:2, 5; James 1:17).

to accrue to
to come as advantage

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 28:19 (all in the writing by the hand of the LORD David gave to Solomon, according to the advantage to him for understanding of the working out of the plan).

περιδειπνέω (perideipneō)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to hold the funeral meal, give the wake-supper (περί + δεῖπνον, supper); aorist infinitive here. After Abner's murder: 'all the people came to give David the funeral meal of bread while it was still day; and David swore: God do so to me and more, if I taste bread or anything before the sun goes down.' The customary wake-bread is offered; the king refuses it publicly and fasts till dusk — grief as exoneration, 'and all the people took note, and it was good in their eyes... that it had not been of the king to slay Abner' (2 Samuel 3:35-37). David curses Joab's house and walks behind the bier weeping (2 Samuel 3:29, 31-32): the LORD's anointed refusing profit from a murder done in his interest — innocence maintained where advantage whispered (Psalm 26:4-6, 9-10).

to hold the wake-meal
to give the funeral supper

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Samuel 3:35 (and all the people came to cause David to eat bread at the wake while it was still day; and David swore an oath).

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 35:22 (the men and women, everyone willing of heart, brought brooches, earrings, rings, and right-armbands — every article of gold, a wave offering to the LORD); Numbers 31:50 ("we have brought the LORD's offering, what each man found — articles of gold, armlets, right-armbands, rings, earrings, and clasps — to make atonement for our souls before the LORD"); Isaiah 3:20 (the day the Lord strips the finery — the headdresses, the right-armbands, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets).

G4019.1

περιδράσσομαι (peridrassomai)

(peh-ree-DRAHS-so-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to grasp around, clutch with the whole hand; aorist participle here. Bildad on the godless man's securities: 'if he props up his house, in no way shall it stand; and grasping it, in no way shall it endure' — the house that was, one verse earlier, a spider's web (Job 8:14-15). The clutch is the point: confidence you must grip to keep is already failing; the tighter hold does not add strength to the structure, only desperation to the holder. Jesus pours the same verdict into the sand-built house (Matthew 7:26-27), and the psalm gives the alternative grip — not ours on the house, but His on us: 'you hold my right hand' (Psalm 73:23; John 10:28-29).

to clutch
to grasp around

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 8:15 (if one should prop up his house, in no way shall it stand; and grasping it, in no way shall it remain).

G4019.2

περίειμι (perieimi)

(peh-REE-ee-mee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to remain over, survive, be left (περί, over + εἰμί, to be). Job's vocabulary of what remains: breath still in him, survivors of the wicked marked for death — and the courtroom help he confesses he once counted on.

to remain
to survive

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 27:3 ("as long as my breath remains in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils, my lips shall not speak lawlessness"); Job 27:15 (those remaining of him shall die in death — and their widows shall have no pity); Job 31:21 ("if I raised my hand against the orphan, because I saw help remaining for me in the gates — then let my shoulder fall from its blade").

G4020

Both occurrences hammer Korah's censers into the altar's covering — the brass of the rebels beaten into plating, an adornment that is also a warning: no stranger is to draw near to offer incense.

encasement
plating

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 16:38 (the censers of these sinners against their own souls — make them into hammered plates, an adornment for the altar, for they were brought before the LORD and were sanctified; and they became a sign to the sons of Israel); Numbers 16:39 (Eleazar took the brass censers, which the men being burnt brought near — and they added them as an adornment to the altar).

G4026.1

περικαθαίρω (perikathairō)

(peh-ree-kah-THEH-ro)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to purge round about, 'lustrate' — here the euphemism for passing a child through fire; participle here, heading Israel's banned-practices list: 'there shall not be found in you one who purges his son or his daughter in fire, or one divining divination, or an omen-reader and augur...' — through the medium-consulters, 'for everyone doing these things is an abomination to the LORD' (Deuteronomy 18:10-12). The list's placement is the sermon: it stands immediately before the Prophet-promise — 'the LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your brothers; him you shall hear' (Deuteronomy 18:15) — occult access banned because true revelation was coming (Acts 3:22-23; Hebrews 1:1-2). The fire-rite's horror is answered at Calvary: the Father who forbade child-sacrifice gave the Son He spared no one else to give (Genesis 22:12; Romans 8:32).

to purge in fire
to lustrate

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 18:10 (there shall not be found in you one purging his son or his daughter in fire, or one using oracles for divination, or one prognosticating and foretelling).

Three purgings that climb from orchard to heart to lips: the fruit-tree's uncleanness purged in the land, the LXX's rendering of heart-circumcision — "the LORD shall purge around your heart, to love the LORD your God" — and the coal at Isaiah's mouth.

to purge around
to cleanse away

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 19:23 (when you enter the land and plant any fruit tree — you shall purge away its uncleanness; three years its fruit shall be to you unpurged, not to be eaten); Deuteronomy 30:6 ("the LORD shall purge around your heart and the heart of your seed — to love the LORD your God with all your heart and all your soul, that you may live"); Isaiah 6:7 ("behold, this has touched your lips — and it shall take away your lawlessness, and purge away your sins").

(per-ee-kath'-ar-mah | peh-ree-KA-thahr-ma | pay-ree-KA-thahr-ma)

(peh-ree-knee-MEES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a legging, greave (περί + κνήμη, shin); dative plural here. The furnace scene's wardrobe inventory: 'then those men were bound with their trousers, and turbans, and leggings, and their garments, and thrown into the midst of the burning furnace of fire.' The clothing is itemized going in so it can be audited coming out: 'the hair of their head was not singed, their trousers were not changed, and the smell of fire was not on them' (Daniel 3:21, 27) — every listed layer intact, because a fourth figure walked the coals with them, 'like a son of God' (Daniel 3:25). The promise had been on file for the exiles all along: 'when you walk through fire, you shall not be burned... for I am with you' (Isaiah 43:2).

legging
greave

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Daniel 3:21 (then those men were shackled with their pantaloons, and tiaras, and leggings, and their garments; and they were thrown into the midst of the burning furnace of fire).

περικοσμέω (perikosmeō)

(peh-ree-kos-MEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to adorn all around (περί + κοσμέω, to adorn); perfect passive participle here. From the psalm of the blessed commonwealth: 'whose sons are as new plantings, established in their youth; their daughters bedecked, adorned round about as the likeness of a temple.' The MT sees corner-pillars carved palace-style; the LXX raises the comparison to sanctuary — daughters as temple-architecture, the family described in the vocabulary of the house of God (Psalm 144:12). The psalm immediately audits its own vision: 'blessed the people whose God is the LORD' (Psalm 144:15) — the adornment is derivative. Peter relocates the ornament permanently inward: 'the hidden person of the heart... precious in God's sight' (1 Peter 3:3-4).

to adorn around
bedecked

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 144:12 (their daughters being bedecked, being adorned sumptuously as the likeness of a temple).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an embracing, enfolding (from περιλαμβάνω, to take around); genitive here. From the catalogue of seasons: 'a season to throw stones and a season to gather stones; a season to embrace, and a season to be far from embracing.' Even affection has a calendar — the Preacher files the embrace between masonry and mourning, insisting that timing belongs to God, who 'has made everything beautiful in its time' and set eternity in the heart (Ecclesiastes 3:5, 11). Wisdom is largely clock-reading: knowing which season one is standing in (Ecclesiastes 8:5-6) — and the Bridegroom's own rule for embraces deferred stands over the Song: 'do not stir up love until it pleases' (Song of Solomon 8:4).

embrace
enfolding

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 3:5 (a season to embrace, and a season to be far from embrace).

The casting of the temple's two great pillars: 'he cast the two columns for the porch of the house — eighteen cubits the height of the column, and the perimeter a cord of twelve cubits encircled it; and so the second column.' The finished pair received names — Jachin, 'He shall establish,' and Boaz, 'in Him is strength' (1 Kings 7:15, 21) — twenty-seven feet of bronze theology flanking the entrance: whoever passed in walked between establishment and strength, both God's. The promise migrates to persons at the last: 'the one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God... and he shall go out no more' (Revelation 3:12; Galatians 2:9).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a going-around, circuit (περί + ὁδός, way); dative here. Jericho's final lap: 'and it came to pass at the seventh circuit, the priests trumpeted with the trumpets, and Joshua said to the sons of Israel: Shout — for the LORD has delivered the city to you!' Thirteen circuits over seven days, ark in the middle, weapons silent — a liturgy where a siege should be — and the verdict announced in the past tense before a stone moved: 'the LORD has delivered' (Joshua 6:15-16, 20). Hebrews files the circuits under faith: 'by faith the walls of Jericho fell down, having been encircled seven days' (Hebrews 11:30) — obedient repetition trusting a finished decree, the church's own marching order (2 Corinthians 10:4).

περιονυχίζω (perionychizō)

(peh-ree-o-nee-KHEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to trim the nails around (περί + ὄνυξ, nail); future here. From the captive-bride statute: 'you shall bring her inside into your house, and you shall shave her head, and trim her nails' — then a full month to 'bewail her father and her mother' before any marriage, and if dismissed afterward, freedom, never sale (Deuteronomy 21:10-14). In the ancient world's rulebook for the conquered, this is startling jurisprudence: grief given a calendar, dignity imposed on desire, the woman's personhood outranking the soldier's claim. The law restrains what it cannot yet abolish (Matthew 19:8), bending war's aftermath toward the ethic that will finally say: in Christ 'there is neither slave nor free... male and female' (Galatians 3:28).

to trim the nails

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 21:12 (then you shall bring her inside into your house, and you shall shave her head, and trim her nails).

Noun — a prized acquisition, treasured possession (the family of περιούσιος — Exodus 19:5's treasure-people, taken up in Titus 2:14 and 1 Peter 2:9). Two treasuries face each other: "the LORD chose Jacob for Himself — Israel for His prized possession" — and Solomon's hoarded "prized possessions of kings and of lands," the treasure that could not satisfy under the sun.

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 135:4 (for the LORD chose Jacob to Himself — Israel for His prized possession); Ecclesiastes 2:8 (I gathered to myself also silver and gold — and the prized possessions of kings and of the lands; I appointed for myself male singers and female singers).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an outlying township, satellite settlement (περί + πόλις, city); plural here. The Levites' allotment ledger: 'they gave them Hebron in the land of Judah, and her townships round about her.' The priestly tribe received no territorial block — forty-eight cities with their surrounding commons, sown through every other tribe's inheritance (1 Chronicles 6:54-81; Numbers 35:1-8) — because their deed read differently: 'the LORD is his inheritance' (Deuteronomy 10:9). The scattering was strategy: teachers of the law distributed among the taught (Deuteronomy 33:10; 2 Chronicles 17:8-9), the pattern of a priesthood placed in the world's neighborhoods rather than gathered out of them (1 Peter 2:9; Matthew 5:14).

township
outlying settlement

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Chronicles 6:55 (and they gave to them Hebron in the land of Judah, and her townships round about her).

The prophet is not against purple — the sanctuary is full of it (Exodus 26:1) — but against finery worn as fortress by 'the haughty daughters walking with outstretched necks' while the poor were ground in the same city (Isaiah 3:14-16). Adornment audits differently in the kingdom: 'clothed with humility' (1 Peter 5:5; Isaiah 61:10).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a chance happening, that which one falls in with (περί + πίπτω). Scripture's two great "coincidences," both steered: Ruth "fell upon by chance" the portion of the field belonging to Boaz — providence wearing the mask of accident on the road to the Messiah's line — and the Amalekite's claim, "I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa," chance alleged in the report of a king's fall.

chance happening
accident

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ruth 2:3 (she went, and coming, she collected in the field behind the ones harvesting — and she fell by chance upon the portion of the field of Boaz, the one of the kin of Elimelech); 2 Samuel 1:6 (the young man reporting said — "by chance I happened upon mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul was supported upon his spear").

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to encase round about, set in a rim of metal (the jeweler's mounting); perfect passive participle here. The execution-report of the shoulder stones: 'they made both the stones of emerald, clasped together and encased in gold, carved and engraved — an engraved seal of the names of the sons of Israel.' Twelve names cut into stone, rimmed in gold, riveted to the priest's shoulders (Exodus 39:6-7; 28:9-12): the people enter God's presence as jewelry on their mediator — engraved 'like a seal,' the metaphor grace keeps: 'set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm' (Song of Solomon 8:6), 'behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands' (Isaiah 49:16).

to encase in gold

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to cover round about, sheathe (περί + σκεπάζω, to shelter); aorist here. The temple's interior finish: 'cedar covered the house inside, and he carved gourds and opened flowers — all cedar; and stone did not appear.' The costly ten-cubit foundation stones (1 Kings 7:10) vanish behind carved cedar and then gold (1 Kings 6:18, 21-22): the house's strength is deliberately invisible, its surfaces all fragrance and blossom. The aesthetic is a doctrine — glory resting on buried foundations no worshiper sees (1 Corinthians 3:11; Ephesians 3:17) — and the carved gourds and open flowers keep Eden's garden-memory inside God's house (Genesis 2:9; Revelation 22:2).

to sheathe

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 6:18 (and cedar covered the house inside, and there were carved gourds and opened and spread out leaves — all cedar; and stone did not appear).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a surrounding ring, encirclement (περί + ἵστημι — that which stands around). From the Tyre oracle's siege-manual: Nebuchadnezzar 'will appoint against you an advance guard, and build around you, and put a trench around you, and a siege mound round about, and a surrounding of shields, and set his lances before you.' The ring of shields — the locked testudo wall — closes the inventory of encirclement (Ezekiel 26:8): the island market that thought itself unreachable is methodically surrounded, scraped at last to bare rock where fishermen spread nets (Ezekiel 26:4-5, 14). Every proud insularity has the same file open (Ezekiel 28:2) — while the city of God, besieged in every age, keeps the opposite promise: 'I will be to her a wall of fire round about' (Zechariah 2:5).

περιστήθιον (peristēthion)

(peh-ree-STEE-thee-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the breast-piece (περί + στῆθος, breast). Heading the vestment list: 'these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-piece, and the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the fringed tunic, and turban, and belt — holy garments for Aaron and his sons, to minister to me as priests.' The breast-piece of judgment carried the twelve engraved stones 'upon his heart, when he goes into the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually,' with Urim and Thummim inside (Exodus 28:4, 29-30). Shoulders and heart both freighted with names: the mediator bears his people as burden and as affection at once — the double carriage the true Priest maintains, 'able to save to the uttermost... since he always lives to intercede' (Hebrews 7:25; John 13:1).

breast-piece
breastplate of judgment

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 28:4 (and these are the apparels which they shall make: the breast-plate, and the shoulder-piece, and the foot-length robe, and a fringed inner garment, and turban, and belt).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — attire, dress-adornment (περί + στέλλω, to array). The aftermath of the calf, worn on the body: 'and the sons of Israel removed their ornamentation and the attire, from mount Horeb onward.' The jewelry laid aside is loaded — golden earrings had built the calf (Exodus 32:2-4), and now, under the sentence 'I will not go up among you,' the people strip as mourners (Exodus 33:3-6). Repentance undresses what idolatry accessorized. The grace-note comes two chapters on: the same hands bring brooches and earrings again — freely, for the tabernacle (Exodus 35:22) — ornament converted from idol-stock to sanctuary-stock, the biography of every redeemed treasure (Luke 19:8; Isaiah 60:9).

attire
adornment

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 33:6 (and the sons of Israel removed their ornamentation, and the attire, at the mountain of Horeb).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to strip away around, tear off in a circuit (περί + σύρω, to drag); participle here. Jacob's breeding program: 'Jacob took for himself a rod of green poplar, and of walnut, and of plane; and Jacob peeled them in white peelings, stripping away the green — and the white which he peeled appeared on the rods, variegated.' The peeled rods at the watering troughs are folk-science in full confidence (Genesis 30:37-39) — and the narrative lets God file the correction in a dream: 'lift up your eyes... for I have seen all that Laban does to you' (Genesis 31:10-12). The flocks multiplied by election, not bark-stripping; Jacob's craft rode a providence it did not cause (Genesis 31:9) — the standing audit of every self-made increase (Psalm 127:1-2; 1 Corinthians 3:6-7).

to rend about oneself
to split off

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 36:22 (Eliakim the son of Hilkiah the manager, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the recorder came to Hezekiah — having split their garments, and they reported the words of Rabshakeh); Ezekiel 48:1 (these are the names of the tribes — from the northern edge, splitting off by the descent, toward Hethlon, unto the entrance of Hamath).

περιτειχίζω (periteichizō)

(peh-ree-tee-KHEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to wall around, fortify with a circuit-wall (περί + τεῖχος, wall); perfect passive participle here — 'your walled-around places.' Hosea's audit of Israel's defense budget: 'destruction shall rise up among your people, and all your walled places shall be gone — as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle.' The indictment stands one verse earlier: 'you trusted in your chariots, in the multitude of your might' (Hosea 10:13-14) — fortification as theology, walls where faith should be. The alternative had just been offered: 'sow for yourselves righteousness... it is time to seek the LORD' (Hosea 10:12). Ramparts trusted crumble; the only circuit that holds is the one God is: 'a wall of fire round about, and the glory within' (Zechariah 2:5; Psalm 127:1).

Adjective — running around, circular; neuter substantive here — 'the surround' of the visionary temple: 'and between the chambers a breadth of twenty cubits, the circuit of the house round about.' The measuring continues ring by ring (Ezekiel 41:10) because the vision's method is its message: 'behold with your eyes... and declare all that you see to the house of Israel' (Ezekiel 40:4) — a temple communicated entirely in dimensions, holiness rendered as geometry, 'the whole territory round about upon the top of the mountain most holy' (Ezekiel 43:12).

περιχαλκόω (perichalkoō)

(peh-ree-khal-KO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to plate around with brass (περί + χαλκός).

Wisdom is to be fortified into one's life like a garrisoned city — siege-works of attention thrown up around her so she cannot be lost (Proverbs 4:8, in the father's plea: 'get wisdom... do not forsake her, and she will keep you,' Proverbs 4:5-6). What a man entrenches, he keeps; the same engineering serves whatever is enthroned (Proverbs 4:23) — and Wisdom herself, embraced, returns the fortification: 'she shall keep you.'

Jonah prays drowning-psalms from the drowned position — the language is the Psalter's ('all your breakers and billows passed over me,' Jonah 2:3; Psalm 42:7) — and from 'the belly of Hades' he vows with the voice of thanksgiving: 'salvation belongs to the LORD' (Jonah 2:2, 9). Jesus claims the three days in the fish as the one sign for His generation (Matthew 12:39-40): the engulfed prophet is the shape of the buried-and-risen Son — waters poured around, and up from the pit alive (Jonah 2:6; Acts 2:24, 31).

what is wiped off
dirt rubbed off
off scouring, scrapings

Note

The Athenians, in order to avert public calamities, yearly threw a criminal into the sea as an offering to Poseidon; hence the term became used for an expiatory offering, a ransom, for our child, i.e., in comparison with the saving of our son's life let it be to us a despicable and worthless thing. It is used of a man who in behalf of religion undergoes dire trials for the salvation of others.

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to darken toward ripeness, turn color (of the grape purpling); future here. The restoration surplus of Amos's finale: 'behold, days are coming, says the LORD, when the threshing shall overtake the vintage, and the grape shall darken in the sowing-time; and the mountains shall drip sweetness, and all the hills shall be planted together.' Harvest laps harvest — grapes purpling while seed is still going in — abundance outrunning the calendar (Amos 9:13; Leviticus 26:5 is the promise at full throttle). It stands two verses after the raised tent of David that James reads over the Gentile ingathering (Amos 9:11-12; Acts 15:16-17): first the rebuilt kingdom, then the drunk-with-sweetness mountains — grace's economy always over-delivers (John 2:6-10; Ephesians 3:20).

to darken (of grapes)
to ripen purple

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Amos 9:13 (and the grape shall grow dark in the sowing; and the mountains shall trickle down sweetness, and all the hills shall be planted together).

The last line of Folly's banquet: 'but he does not know that the earth-born perish beside her, and he meets upon the perch of Hades.' The LXX's image is a fowler's: Folly's guest alights where dead men roost — the house that looked like a feast is a baited perch over the pit (Proverbs 9:18; 7:27, 'her house is the way to Sheol'). The whole chapter is two invitations with identical wording and opposite floors (Proverbs 9:4-5, 16-17); Wisdom's table stands on the seven pillars she hewed (Proverbs 9:1), Folly's on nothing — and her perch gives way (Matthew 7:26-27).

Hosea's oven-parable of court intrigue: 'all the adulterers are as an oven burning for baking — the baker rests from stirring the flame, from the kneading of the dough until it is wholly leavened.' The fire is banked, not out: passion smolders overnight on schedule, then 'in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire' — the night the conspirators devour their judges and fell their kings (Hosea 7:4-7, 'all their kings have fallen'). Sin in Hosea's kitchen is patient chemistry — leaven working the whole lump while the baker sleeps (1 Corinthians 5:6-8) — and the chapter's grief is the oven's silence Godward: 'none among them calls to me' (Hosea 7:7).

The Jordan miracle in one word: 'the waters going down from above stood — stood as one congealed mass very far off, from Adam the city... and the people stood opposite Jericho.' A river running in flood (Joshua 3:15) sets like poured concrete the moment the priests' feet touch it — the Red Sea's physics repeated for the next generation ('the depths congealed in the heart of the sea,' Exodus 15:8), so that they would know 'the living God is among you' (Joshua 3:10, 16-17). Each generation gets its own crossing; the same ark leads (Joshua 4:22-24; Hebrews 13:8).

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 4:19 (the ones dwelling in houses of clay — of whom we also are of the same clay; He smites them as a moth); Job 13:12 (your elation shall be likened to ashes — and your body to clay).

(PEE-thee-kos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an ape, monkey; genitive plural here. Solomon's import manifest: 'ships of the king went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram; once in three years came boats from Tarshish to the king, full of gold, and silver, and ivory tusks, and apes.' The golden age at cargo-level: triennial fleets hauling exotica for a court where silver 'was counted as nothing' (2 Chronicles 9:20-21; 1 Kings 10:22). The Chronicler stacks the splendor without comment, and the canon supplies the two margins: the king's own law had warned against multiplying silver and gold (Deuteronomy 17:17), and the Preacher — traditionally this same collector — filed the whole menagerie under vapor (Ecclesiastes 2:8-11). 'A greater than Solomon' owned no fleet and out-glorified the lilies' dresser of kings (Matthew 6:29; 12:42).

(PEE-thos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a great storage-jar, cask. The proverb's plumbing-report on the strange house: 'a drilled cask is a strange house, and a strange well is narrow' — where the MT reads 'a harlot is a deep pit.' The LXX's figure prices adultery as hydraulics: a jar bored through holds nothing poured into it — desire spent there drains without filling (Proverbs 23:27), the same economics Wisdom answers with 'drink water from your own cistern' (Proverbs 5:15). The bored cask sits in the wine-woes chapter on purpose: two thirsts, one chapter, both unquenchable (Proverbs 23:29-35) — over against the invitation that closes thirst's account: 'whoever drinks of the water I will give him shall never thirst' (John 4:13-14).

storage-jar
cask

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 23:27 (for a strange house is a cask having been drilled; and a strange well is narrow).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — embitterment, bitterness (from πικραίνω, to make bitter); dative here. From the mariners' dirge over Tyre: 'they shall shave themselves bald over you, and gird on sackcloth, and weep over you in bitterness of soul, a bitter lamentation.' The sea-trade's whole guild — pilots, caulkers, oarsmen — stands ashore keening for the sunken market-ship (Ezekiel 27:28-32), grief with an economic engine: 'when your wares went out from the seas, you satisfied many peoples' (Ezekiel 27:33-34). Revelation replays the scene shot for shot over the last commercial Babylon — shipmasters afar off, dust on heads, 'in one hour she is made desolate' (Revelation 18:17-19) — every market that made itself a god ends with the same bitter chorus, while another city's merchants trade unsinkable goods (Matthew 6:19-20; 13:45-46).

embitterment

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 27:31 (and they shall weep over you in bitterness of life, even lamenting bitterly).

The book opens on this floor deliberately: an empire that can pave with pearl-shell cannot secure one banquet from its own decrees, and all its surfaces will be moved by an unnamed Providence working through insomnia and lots (Esther 6:1; 9:1). The floor's true rival comes at the canon's end — a city whose gates are single pearls and whose street is gold (Revelation 21:21) — glory that houses righteousness (2 Peter 3:13), not merely exhibits wealth.
