(PLAH-tah-nos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the plane tree, the broad-leaved oriental sycamore-plane; genitive here. Third species in Jacob's rod-kit: 'Jacob took for himself a rod of green poplar, and of walnut, and of plane, and peeled them in white peelings.' The plane's bark flakes naturally into pale patches — the right prop for a breeding-scheme built on appearances (Genesis 30:37-39). But the flocks' variegation was decided elsewhere: 'I have seen all that Laban does to you,' says the God of Bethel in the dream that reinterprets the whole enterprise (Genesis 31:11-13). The plane tree stands once more in Scripture, in Eden's arboretum beside the boastful cedar (Ezekiel 31:8) — trees, like schemes, ranked and outgrown by what God plants (Psalm 1:3).

  • plane tree

Septuagint usage

πλειστάκις (pleistakis)

(plees-TAH-kis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — very many times, most often (from πλεῖστος, most — the superlative of the πολύς family). The Preacher's mercy-rule for overheard words: 'do not take to heart all the words that men speak, lest you hear your servant cursing you — for very many times he will act wickedly against you, and many circuits he will afflict your heart; for you also, yes you, have cursed others.' The argument is a mirror: your own frequency of offense funds your tolerance of others' (Ecclesiastes 7:21-22). Wisdom buys quiet by remembering its own record — the logic of the measure-for-measure warning ('with what measure you measure,' Matthew 7:2-5) and of the forgiven servant who forgot his own canceled bill (Matthew 18:32-33). Selective deafness, honestly funded, is a form of grace (Proverbs 19:11; 1 Peter 4:8).

  • very often
  • most times

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 7:22 (for very often he will act wickedly against you, and returning many times he shall inflict your heart; for as also indeed you cursed others).

G4121.2

πλεόνασμα (pleonasma)

(pleh-O-nas-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — surplus, excess (from πλεονάζω, to abound; distinct from its sibling πλεονασμός, the 'more' of usury — this is the 'more' of spoil). The Midian war's audit: 'and the surplus of the plunder which the warrior-men despoiled came to six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep' — and the count is immediately halved between fighters and congregation, and from each half the LORD's levy is lifted (Numbers 31:27-30). Israel's arithmetic of increase: surplus is counted, divided, and tithed before it is enjoyed, because the battle had been the LORD's vengeance, not private enterprise (Numbers 31:2-3). What do you have that you did not receive? (1 Corinthians 4:7).

  • surplus
  • excess of spoil

G4121.4

πλεοναστός (pleonastos)

(pleh-o-nas-TOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verbal adjective — made abundant, multiplied (from πλεονάζω, to abound; the ABP prints the neuter πλεοναστόν adverbially — 'abundantly he will do for you'). Deuteronomy 30's restoration promise, spoken past the exile it foresees: the LORD will gather, bring home, do good, 'and make you abound above your fathers' — and the very next verse locates the surplus: 'the LORD will circumcise your heart... to love the LORD your God' (Deuteronomy 30:5-6). The return outstrips the first estate; grace's arithmetic runs above the fathers, fulfilled where the heart-surgery is performed (Jeremiah 31:31-33; Romans 2:29) by the God able to do exceedingly above all we ask (Ephesians 3:20).

  • made abundant
  • multiplied above

Septuagint usage

πλεονέκτημα (pleonektēma)

(pleh-o-NEK-tee-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — gain seized, private advantage (from πλεονεκτέω, to overreach, defraud). Isaiah's indictment of the watchmen: blind, dumb dogs that cannot bark, and then the appetite audit — 'impudent dogs in soul, not knowing fullness... each has followed his own way, each after his own advantage, to the last man' (Isaiah 56:10-12). Shepherds turned predators, office converted to income — the charge Ezekiel 34:2-3 expands (feeding themselves, not the flock) and the Good Shepherd answers in person: the hireling flees because the sheep are not his (John 10:12-13). The NT files the appetite under idolatry (Colossians 3:5).

  • advantage
  • private gain

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 56:11 (and the dogs are impudent in soul, not knowing fullness; and they are wicked, not knowing understanding; all followed after their own ways, each according to his own advantage, from his uttermost).

πλημμέλεια (plēmméleia)

(playm-MEH-ley-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Feminine noun (literally a false note in music, πλήν + μέλος — a discord); in the LXX, trespass, and by extension the trespass offering — its regular rendering of the Hebrew אָשָׁם (asham), the guilt offering of Leviticus 5-7: the sacrifice for sin that incurs a measurable debt, requiring both blood and restitution with a fifth added. This is the offering-category to which Isaiah 53:10 (Hebrew: "when You make His soul an asham") assigns the Servant's self-offering.

  • trespass, fault incurring guilt and debt
  • the trespass (guilt) offering of Leviticus 5:14-6:7; 7:1-7
  • trespass-money paid to the priests (2 Kings 12:16)

Septuagint usage

(PLEE-see-oss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — near, dear (plural vocative here; the base πλησίον is this adjective's adverbial neuter — the NT's 'neighbor'). The Song's center verse and its toast: the bridegroom enters his garden, gathers myrrh, honey, wine, milk — then turns to the company: 'Eat, O dear ones, and drink — be intoxicated, beloved!'

(plin-THEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — brick-making (from πλίνθος, a brick). The bondage-word of Egypt: the bitter service in mortar and brick, and Pharaoh's unmet quotas without straw.

Septuagint usage

4 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 1:14 (they made their lives bitter with hard service — in mortar and in brick-making and in all work in the field); Exodus 5:14 (the Israelite foremen beaten — "why have you not fulfilled your quota of brick-making as before?"); Exodus 5:18 ("go now and work; no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the tale of bricks"); Exodus 5:19 (the foremen saw that they were in trouble — "you shall not diminish your daily quota of bricks").

πλινθεύω (plintheuō)

(plin-THEV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make bricks (from πλίνθος, brick; the slot sits beside πλήσσω by numbering only). Babel's building committee: 'Come, let us make bricks and bake them in fire' — and the narrator dryly logs the substitutions: brick served them for stone, asphalt for mortar (Genesis 11:3). Man-made materials for a man-made summit and a self-made name (Genesis 11:4); the LORD must 'come down' even to see it (11:5), and the scattering follows. The counter-city has foundations and a different builder (Hebrews 11:10), and the counter-Babel is Pentecost — one gospel heard in every scattered tongue (Acts 2:6-11).

  • to make bricks
  • to mold brick

Septuagint usage

(plin-THEE-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — brick-kiln, brick-works (diminutive of πλίνθος, brick). The close of the Ammonite war that framed David's fall: Rabbah taken, the people put to saw and iron implements 'and led through the brick-kiln' (the Hebrew מַלְבֵּן is debated — set to labor at the brick-works, or passed through the kilns; the ABP reads the kiln). The chapter's sequence is the sermon: the crown of Rabbah lands on David's head (2 Samuel 12:30) only after Nathan's parable, the confession, and the absolution — 'the LORD has put away your sin' (12:13). The war David once shirked (11:1) he finishes as a forgiven man.

  • brick-kiln
  • brick-works

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Samuel 12:31 (and the people in it he led out, and put them to the saw and to the threshing-machines of iron and adzes of iron, and he led them through the brick-kiln; and thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon).

G4141.5

πλινθουργία (plinthourgia)

(plin-thoor-GEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — brickmaking (πλίνθος, brick + ἔργον, work).

  • brickmaking

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 5:7 ("no longer shall you add to give straw to the people for the making of bricks as yesterday and the third day before — let them go and gather stubble for themselves"); Exodus 5:8 ("and the rate of the making of bricks which they make each day — you shall impose the same upon them; you shall not remove anything").

(plo-KEE)

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a weave, plaited work; a wreathen circle (from πλέκω, to plait). The wreathen chains of the ephod — pure gold intertwined with flowers upon the shoulder-pieces — and Ezekiel's dark turn of the same figure: "the wreathen circle has come upon you, O inhabitant of the land" — doom announced as a braid closing.

  • weave
  • wreathen work

Septuagint usage

G4143.2

πλόκιον (plokion)

(PLO-kee-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — braid, tress (from πλέκω, to plait — the verb of the soldiers' thorn-crown, Matthew 27:29). The Song's royal inversion: 'your head upon you is as Carmel, and the braid of your head as purple — a king bound in the tresses.' Purple is the fabric of thrones, and here it names a woman's hair by which the king is held captive: love reverses rank, and majesty consents to be bound. The greater King's captivity to His bride is voluntary and costlier — He loved the church and gave Himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25); the plaited crown He wore for her was thorn.

  • braid
  • tress of hair

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Song of Solomon 7:5 (your head upon you is as Carmel, and the braid of your head is as purple — a king being bound by its passing by).

πλωτός (plōtos)

From the Leviathan speech: 'everything afloat, gathered together, could not bear one hide of his tail, nor fishermen's boats his head.' The whole navy of man cannot land the creature — and the argument lands a fortiori: if you cannot gaff the creature, will you arraign the Creator (Job 40:8; 41:10)? The speech's next line — 'who has first given to me, that I should repay?' — is the very text Paul reaches for at the summit of Romans (Job 41:11; Romans 11:35).

  • afloat
  • seagoing

Septuagint usage

πνευματοφορέομαι (pneumatophoreomai)

(pnev-mah-to-fo-REH-o-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be borne along by wind (πνεῦμα, wind/spirit, + φορέω, to carry; imperfect passive here). Jeremiah's wild she-donkey figure for Israel's idolatry: 'in the desires of her soul she was carried by the wind — who shall turn her back?' Appetite as gale: the sin is not sober choice but craving that carries, unturnable in its heat (Jeremiah 2:24-25 — 'I have loved strangers, and after them I will go'). The picture divides two carriages: driven by desire and every wind (Ephesians 4:14), or borne along by the Holy Spirit — the LXX's cognate πνευματοφόρος names the prophets (Hosea 9:7), and Peter uses the same carrying-verb of them: φερόμενοι (2 Peter 1:21).

  • to be wind-borne
  • to be carried by wind

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 2:24 (her ways widen over waters of the wilderness; in the desires of her soul she was being carried by the wind; she was delivered up — who will turn her?).

In both prophets a word of indictment or mockery: Israel deriding the true prophet as a "wind-carried man, deranged" — and Zephaniah's exposure of the false: her prophets are wind-carried men, despisers, profaning what is holy.

  • wind-borne

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Hosea 9:7 (the days of vengeance have come — and Israel shall be afflicted; as the prophet — the man carried by the wind — is maddened by the abundance of your iniquities, your madness was multiplied); Zephaniah 3:4 (her prophets are carried by the wind — men despisers; her priests profane the holy things and annul the law).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to long for, yearn after, feel the absence of (the slot sits beside πόθεν by numbering only).

Proverbs 7 prices the rhetoric two verses at a time: her house is the ways of Hades, going down to the chambers of death (Proverbs 7:27).

G4179.1

πολλαχῶς (pollachōs)

(pol-lah-KHOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — in many ways. From the foundling-bride chapter: the abandoned infant washed, covenanted, and royally dressed by the LORD — who must then say, 'you fornicated after the sons of Egypt... and in many ways you fornicated to provoke me to anger' (Ezekiel 16:8-14, 26). Idolatry's signature is multiplicity: one Husband, many lovers, many ways. Yet the chapter refuses to end in the plural — 'I will remember my covenant with you... and you shall know that I am the LORD, when I atone for you for all that you have done' (Ezekiel 16:60-63). The many ways of straying are answered, at last, by God's own many-sided speaking in a Son (Hebrews 1:1-2).

  • in many ways
  • manifoldly

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 16:26 (and you fornicated after the sons of Egypt, the ones adjoining you, the fleshy ones; and in many ways you fornicated to provoke me to anger).

G4179.2

πολλοστός (pollostos)

(pol-los-TOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — manifold, many times over (classically 'one of many'; the ABP renders the LXX's sense here as 'a great deal'). The fidelity charge of Proverbs 5: rejoice in the wife of your youth — 'a hind of loves and a filly of favors' — 'for accompanied in her friendship you will be enlarged a great deal.' The chapter's economics are exact: strange waters cost a house and honor (Proverbs 5:9-10); covenant love multiplies. Marriage is the ordained plenty, honored by all (Hebrews 13:4), and Proverbs 5:21 supplies the audit clause — a man's ways are before the eyes of the LORD.

  • manifold
  • many times over

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 5:19 (let your hind of friendship and your filly of favors consort with you, and be with you at all time; for in this friendship being accommodated, a great deal you will be).

G4179.3

πολυάνδριον (polyandrion)

(po-lee-AN-dhree-on)

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun from πολύς (G4183, many) and ἀνήρ (G435, man); "place of many men" — a common burial ground, cemetery. The LXX's grim name for the valley of Ben-hinnom in Jeremiah's oracles (the Topheth renamed "cemetery of slaughter") and for the burial-place of Gog's multitude in Ezekiel.

  • common burial place, cemetery
  • mass grave-field

Septuagint usage

8 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 19:2 (go out to the cemetery of the sons of their children — the valley of Ben-hinnom); Jeremiah 19:6 (days come when this place shall no more be called Topheth, but the Cemetery of Slaughter); Ezekiel 39:11 (I will give to Gog a named place, a grave in Israel — the cemetery of the multitude of Gog); Ezekiel 39:15 (a sign set up by every bone, until the buriers have buried them).

πολυέλεος (polyeleos)

(po-lee-EH-leh-os)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective from πολύς (G4183, much, many) and ἔλεος (G1656, mercy); full of mercy, abounding in mercy — the LXX's coinage for the Hebrew רַב־חֶסֶד (rav-chesed, abounding in steadfast love) of the Name proclaimed at Sinai. Every later occurrence quotes that self-revelation back to God — Moses interceding, the psalmists, Joel's call to rend hearts, and Jonah's complaint that he knew God would be this way.

  • full of mercy, abounding in mercy
  • rendering rav-chesed of the Exodus 34 Name-formula

Septuagint usage

  • of many days
  • long-lived

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 22:7 (the bird's-nest law — let the mother go and take the young for yourself, "that it may be well with you and you may be of many days"); Deuteronomy 25:15 (a true and just weight and measure — "that you may be of many days on the land the LORD your God gives you"); Deuteronomy 30:18 ("I declare to you today that you shall surely perish — you shall not be of many days on the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess" — if your heart turns away).

πολυοδία (polyodia)

(po-lee-o-DEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a multitude of journeys, many-roadedness (πολύς, many, + ὁδός, way; dative plural here). Isaiah's diagnosis of idolatry's stamina: 'in your many roads you grew weary — yet you did not say, I will cease.' Sin exhausts without converting; the tiredness that should preach repentance is overridden by fresh strength for the same errand (Isaiah 57:10). The counter-offer stands in the same book and beyond: ask for the ancient paths and find rest for your souls — 'but they said, We will not walk in it' (Jeremiah 6:16) — until the road-weary are called directly: come to me, all who labor, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).

  • many journeys
  • multitude of ways

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 57:10 (in your many ways you tired, and you said not, I shall cease; growing in strength, for you practiced these things).

(po-lee-okh-LEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a great multitude, thronging crowd (πολύς + ὄχλος). Job's integrity-oath — "did I fear a great multitude, so as not to declare before them?" — the righteous man unafraid of the crowd — and the wild donkey of the whirlwind-speech, laughing at the multitude of the city, free of every driver's shout.

  • great multitude
  • throng

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 31:34 ("for if I feared a great multitude, so as not to declare openly before them — or if I let the powerless go forth from my door with an empty bosom"); Job 39:7 (he ridicules the great multitude of the city — and the reproach of the tribute-gatherer he hears not).

πολυπλασιάζω (polyplasiazō)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to multiply manifold, increase many times over (πολύς, many + πλάσσω-family multiplication). Deuteronomy's covenant-increase verb — obedience opening into life and manifold multiplication in the land.

  • to multiply manifold
  • to increase many times over

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 4:1 ("now, O Israel, hear the statutes and judgments I teach you to do — that you may live and multiply manifoldly, and enter and inherit the land"); Deuteronomy 8:1 (all the commandment I command you today you shall keep to do — that you may live and multiply manifoldly, and enter and inherit the land sworn to your fathers); Deuteronomy 11:8 (keep every commandment I command you today — that you may live and multiply manifoldly, and enter and inherit the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess).

(po-lee-plee-THEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be numerous, abound in multitude. Pharaoh's complaint at Israel's abundance, the many-footed swarmers of the food laws — and the election-word of Deuteronomy 7:7: not because you were more numerous did the LORD choose you, for you were fewest of all.

  • to be numerous
  • to abound in multitude

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 5:5 (Pharaoh said — "behold, the people of the land are now numerous; let us not give them rest from their labors"); Leviticus 11:42 (everything going on its belly, and everything going on four, and whatever is numerous of feet among all the swarming things — you shall not eat them, for they are an abomination); Deuteronomy 7:7 ("not because you were more numerous than all the nations did the LORD prefer and choose you — for you are fewest of all the nations").

G4181.5

πολυπληθύνω (polyplēthynō)

(po-lee-plee-THEE-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to multiply exceedingly (intensive of πληθύνω, to multiply). The golden-calf intercession: Moses holds God to His own oath — 'remember Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom you swore by yourself, saying, I will exceedingly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven.' The intercessor pleads nothing in the people and everything in the promise (Genesis 22:16-17 — the oath sworn by Himself, for there was no one greater); and the LORD relents (Exodus 32:14). The office is permanent in Christ, who ever lives to make intercession (Hebrews 7:25; Romans 8:34), and the oath's two immutable things remain the anchor (Hebrews 6:13-18).

  • to multiply exceedingly
  • to make greatly abound

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 32:13 (remembering Abraham and Isaac and Jacob your servants, to whom you swore by an oath to them according to yourself, and you spoke to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heaven in multitude).

G4181.6

πολύπλοκος (polyplokos)

(po-LEE-plo-koss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — many-twisted, crafty (πολύς, many, + πλέκω, to twine — genitive plural here, 'of the crafty'). Eliphaz's proverb: 'he overtakes the wise in their intellect, and the counsel of the crafty he confounds.' Paul lifts the parallel clause of this very verse as Scripture's verdict on worldly wisdom — 'He catches the wise in their craftiness' — the New Testament's one explicit quotation from Job (Job 5:13; 1 Corinthians 3:19). The saying is true even on a comforter's misapplied lips: God untangles what cleverness twists, and does it by the foolishness of the cross, wiser than men (1 Corinthians 1:25).

  • crafty
  • many-twisted

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 5:13 (the one overtaking the wise with the intellect; and the counsel of the crafty ones he amazes).

πολύρημος (polyrēmos)

(po-LEE-ree-moss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — many-worded, wordy (πολύς, many, + ῥῆμα, word). Bildad's opening jab at Job: 'How long will you speak these things — a many-worded wind of your mouth?' The comforters' bedside manner: diagnosis by insult, orthodoxy without mercy. Scripture keeps its own scales for speech — in many words transgression is not lacking (Proverbs 10:19); let your words be few before God (Ecclesiastes 5:2) — and then the LORD Himself audits the dialogue and rules against the fluent: 'you have not spoken of me what is right, as my servant Job has' (Job 42:7).

  • many-worded
  • wordy

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 8:2 (till when shall you speak these things — a talkative spirit of your mouth?).

πολύτοκος (polytokos)

(po-LEE-to-koss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — bearing many young, prolific (πολύς, many, + τίκτω, to bear). From the closing blessing-litany of the psalter's last Davidic psalm: storerooms full and discharging one into another, 'their sheep prolific, multiplying in their streets,' no breach, no outcry — and then the resolution that keeps the inventory from idolatry: 'happy the people whose God is the LORD' (Psalm 144:13-15). Fruitfulness is covenant vocabulary from the first blessing (Genesis 1:28; Deuteronomy 28:4); the psalm hangs every full fold on the right final clause.

  • prolific
  • bearing many young

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 144:13 (their storerooms are full, discharging forth from out of this one to that one; their sheep are prolific, multiplying in their streets).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to last long, prolong one's days (πολύς, many, + χρόνος, time). Moses summons heaven and earth as witnesses: cross the Jordan and corrupt yourselves, and 'you shall not long endure days upon the land — by obliteration you shall be obliterated.' Tenure in the land is moral, not automatic (Deuteronomy 4:25-26). Yet the same speech hinges straight into mercy: from the exile it predicts, 'you shall seek the LORD your God, and you shall find him, whenever you seek him with all your heart' — for the LORD your God is a merciful God who will not forget the covenant (Deuteronomy 4:29-31).

  • to endure long
  • to prolong days

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 4:26 (I call to testify against you today both the heaven and the earth, that by destruction you shall be destroyed from the land; you shall not delay long days upon it, but by obliteration you shall be obliterated).

Isaac "a long time" in Gerar before the window betrayed the ruse about Rebekah — and Elihu's opening thesis against the comforters: "the long-lived are not the wise" — years alone conferring no understanding, for it is the breath of the Almighty that teaches.

  • long-lasting
  • long-lived

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 26:8 (and it happened that he was there a long time — and Abimelech the king of Gerar, leaning through the window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife); Job 32:9 (the long-lived are not wise — nor do the aged know equity).

  • to take great care of
  • to watch over attentively

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 30:9 (the LORD your God will prosper the works of your hands — for the LORD will turn to rejoice over you for good, to care greatly for you, as He rejoiced over your fathers); Psalms 12:8 ("You, O LORD, shall guard us and take great care of us — from this generation and forever"); Psalms 138:3 (in the day I called, You heard me — You took great care of my soul with power).

G4194.1

ποντοπορέω (pontoporeō)

(pon-to-po-REH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to pass over the open sea (πόντος, deep sea, + the πορεύομαι family — Homer's word for blue-water sailing; the slot sits beside the name Πόντιος by numbering only). Agur's four untrackable wonders: the eagle's way on air, the serpent's on rock, 'the paths of a ship passing through the sea,' and the way of a man in youth — each 'too wonderful for me' (Proverbs 30:18-19). Wisdom begins where tracks end, in wonder. And the trackless sea-path belongs supremely to God: 'your way was in the sea, and your paths in many waters, and your footsteps were not known' (Psalm 77:19) — until one walked it visibly (Mark 6:48-51).

  • to sail the open sea
  • to pass through the sea

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 30:19 (the traces of an eagle flying, and the ways of a serpent upon a rock, and the paths of a ship passing through the sea, and the ways of a man in youth).

πόρευσις (poreusis)

(PO-rev-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a going, journeying, trek (from πορεύομαι, to go). Jacob, reconciled to Esau, declines his armed escort and his pace: 'let my lord pass before his servant, and I will strengthen on the way according to the ease of the trek before me and according to the foot of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.' Shepherd-pacing as mercy — the flock's gait, not the strongman's, sets the itinerary (Genesis 33:13-14). The figure ascends to God's own shepherding: 'he will gently lead those that are with young' (Isaiah 40:11); the Shepherd goes before, and the sheep follow because they can (John 10:4).

  • journeying
  • trek

Septuagint usage
