G4402.1

προχώρημα (prochōrēma)

(pro-KHO-ree-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — outflow, discharge, refuse (πρό, forth, + χωρέω, to go; the slot sits beside the name Πρόχορος by numbering only). From the dirge over Pharaoh the sea-monster: hauled out with hooks, flung on the open field — 'and the land shall be watered from your discharge; from your multitude I will fill the ravines' (Ezekiel 32:2-6). The dragon who said 'the river is mine' (Ezekiel 29:3) ends as carrion irrigating the land he claimed; imperial glory reduced to runoff. The image belongs to the old serpent-slaying line — Rahab pierced, the dragon cut (Isaiah 51:9; Psalm 74:13-14) — which ends with the dragon thrown down for good (Revelation 20:2-3).

discharge
outflow

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 32:6 (and the earth will be watered from your excrement; from your multitude upon the mountains, the ravines I will fill up with you).

G4403.1

πρωήν (prōēn)

(pro-EEN)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — the day before, just lately (of the πρωΐ, early, family; the slot sits beside πρύμνα by numbering only). Joshua's briefing for the second assault on Ai: 'when they come out to meet you as the day before, we will flee from their faces' (Joshua 8:5-6). The earlier rout — Israel's one defeat, bought by Achan's theft — is not erased but enlisted: with the sin judged, yesterday's shame becomes today's bait, and the men of Ai chase a memory into an ambush (Joshua 8:14-19). Grace does not merely survive failure; it drafts it into the battle plan (Joshua 8:1 'do not fear'; Romans 8:28).

the day before
just lately

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 8:5 (and it will be, whenever the ones dwelling in Ai should come forth to meet you, just as also the day before, that we will flee from their face).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb of πρωΐ (G4404, early morning) — from morning. It measures long days: Moses judging alone "from morning until evening" (the burden Jethro saw), and Ruth gleaning from morning in Boaz's field.

from morning

Septuagint usage

6 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 18:13 (Moses sits to judge, the people standing by from morning until evening); Exodus 18:14 (Jethro's question — "why do you sit alone?"); Ruth 2:7 (Ruth gleaning from morning until evening, resting little); 2 Samuel 24:15 (the pestilence from morning until the appointed time).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a bow-officer, ship's pilot at the prow (from πρῷρα, prow). The seaman's title in the canon's two great ship-scenes: the pilots of Tyre's proud merchant fleet in Ezekiel's lament, and the captain of Jonah's ship who found the prophet asleep and begged him to call on his God.

bow-officer
ship's captain

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 27:29 (all the rowers and the mariners shall come down from their ships — and the bow-officers of the sea shall stand upon the land, wailing over Tyre); Jonah 1:6 (the captain came to Jonah and said to him, "Why do you snore?

G4409.1

πρωτοβαθρέω (prōtobathreō)

(pro-to-vah-THREH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to seat in the first seat (πρῶτος, first, + βάθρον, bench — to give the chief bench; from πρωτεύω's family, to be first). Haman's promotion: the king 'exalted him and seated him first above all his friends' (Esther 3:1). The first seat is the book's loaded chair — from it Haman cannot enjoy anything while one man at the gate declines to rise (Esther 5:13), and the plot he drafts from that seat ends with the seat's logic inverted: honor for Mordecai, the gallows for Haman (Esther 6:10-11; 7:9-10). Scripture's seating chart is consistent: whoever exalts himself will be humbled (Luke 14:8-11; Proverbs 16:18), and the chief seats are loved by exactly the wrong hearts (Matthew 23:6).

to seat first
to give the chief seat

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 3:1 (after these things king Artaxerxes extolled Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and exalted him, and seated him first above all his friends).

G4409.2

πρωτοβολέω (prōtoboleō)

(pro-to-vo-LEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to put forth first fruit, bear early (πρῶτος, first, + βάλλω, to cast — to make the first cast of fruit). From the sanctuary-river vision: on both banks every fruit tree, 'it shall not grow old upon it, nor shall its fruit fail in its newness — it shall bear first, for their waters flow out of the holy place; and their fruit shall be for food and their shoots for health' (Ezekiel 47:12). Perpetual firstfruits: every month is harvest-month because the water's source is the sanctuary, not the season. John sees the same river from the throne, the tree yielding twelve fruits, its leaves for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:1-2) — the vision's address finally written out in full.

to bear first fruit
to put forth early

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 47:12 (in no way shall anything grow old upon it, nor shall its fruit fail of its newness — it shall put forth first, for their waters are from out of the holy place; and their fruit will be for food, and their ascending parts for health).

G4409.3

πρωτογενής (prōtogenēs)

(pro-to-ghen-EES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — firstborn, first-generated of its kind (πρῶτος, first + γένος, kind — the family beneath the NT's πρωτότοκος). At the exodus the firstborn of Israel is claimed for God; in Proverbs the queen-mother addresses her son the king with the same word — "What, O firstborn?"

firstborn
first of its kind

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 13:2 ("sanctify to Me every firstborn, first-born of its kind, opening every womb among the sons of Israel — from man unto beast; it is Mine"); Proverbs 31:2 ("What, O child, shall you observe? What? The sayings of your God, O first-born; I say to you, O son" — the words of Lemuel's mother).

G4409.4

πρωτογέννημα (prōtogennēma)

(pro-to-YEN-nee-ma)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Neuter noun from πρῶτος (G4413, first) and γέννημα (G1081, produce); firstfruits, first produce — the feast-word of the harvest calendar: the firstfruits of your labors brought into the house of the Lord.

firstfruits, first produce

Septuagint usage

15 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 23:16 (the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of your labors); Exodus 23:19 (the first of the firstfruits of your land you shall bring into the house of the Lord your God); Leviticus 2:14 (the grain offering of firstfruits — new grain roasted in fire); Leviticus 23:17.

G4409.5

πρωτόγονος (prōtogonos)

(pro-TO-go-noss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — first-born, first-ripe (πρῶτος, first, + the γίνομαι stem — first-produced; neuter plural here of early fruit; kin to πρωτότοκος). Micah's fruit-famine lament: 'woe is me, for I have become as one gleaning stubble in harvest — no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fruit which my soul longed for' — and the next verse decodes it: 'the godly one has perished from the land' (Micah 7:1-2). The prophet walks a picked-over orchard looking for one early fig of righteousness; the Lord repeats the search on the road from Bethany (Mark 11:13). Micah's own turn is the lament's answer: 'but I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation' (Micah 7:7).

first-ripe
first-born

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Micah 7:1 (alas, for I became as one gathering stubble in a harvest, and as one gathering grape gleanings, where there exists no cluster of grapes to eat the first-ripe, which my soul longs after).

the relative rank of the several places at table varied among the Persians, Greeks, and Romans; and what arrangements the Jews had in the time of Christ can not be accurately determined

G4411.1

πρωτολογία (prōtologia)

(pro-to-lo-GHEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the first speech, the opening statement (πρῶτος, first, + λόγος, word; the slot sits beside πρωτοκλισία by numbering only). The courtroom proverb, with the LXX's remarkable twist: 'the just man is his own accuser in the opening statement; but when the opponent takes the floor, he is examined' (Proverbs 18:17 — the Hebrew warns that the first to plead seems right until cross-examined; the Greek makes self-accusation the just man's opening). Both readings instruct: one-sided narratives flatter their teller and die under examination; and the righteous need not fear the second speech, because they led with confession (Proverbs 28:13; 1 John 1:9) — the only litigation strategy with a promise attached.

opening statement
first speech

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 18:17 (a just man is an accuser of himself at the beginning of speaking; but whenever the opponent demands attention, he is reproved).

G4412

(pro'-ton | PROH-tone | PROH-tone)

Definition

G4414.1

πρωτοτοκεύω (prōtotokeuō)

(pro-to-to-KEV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to grant the right of the firstborn (from πρωτότοκος, firstborn; the slot sits beside πρωτοστάτης by numbering only). The two-wives statute: a man with a loved wife and a hated one 'shall not be able to give the firstborn-right to the son of the loved, overlooking the son of the hated — the firstborn'; the double portion stands, 'for he is the beginning of his children' (Deuteronomy 21:15-17). The law shields the unloved house from favoritism — Leah's protection written into Torah. God reserves reversals to His own free grace, not man's partiality (Genesis 48:14; 1 Chronicles 5:1-2), and He knows the cost of firstborn-right personally: Israel my firstborn (Exodus 4:22), and the Firstborn over all creation given up for both houses (Colossians 1:15, 18).

to grant firstborn-right
to treat as firstborn

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 21:16 (he shall not be able to give the right of the first-born to the son of the one being loved, overlooking the son of the one being detested — the first-born).

G4414.2

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to bear for the first time, bring forth a firstborn (πρῶτος + τίκτω). The two first-calf cows that carried the ark straight to Beth-shemesh against all nature — and Zion gasping like a woman bearing her first child.

to bear a firstborn
to give birth for the first time

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 6:7 ("make a new cart, and take two milk cows having given birth for the first time, on which no yoke has come — hitch the cows to the cart and take their calves home away from them"); 1 Samuel 6:10 (the men did so — they took two cows having given birth for the first time and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home); Jeremiah 4:31 ("I heard a cry as of a woman in labor, anguish as of one bearing her first child — the voice of the daughter of Zion; she gasps, she spreads out her hands: 'woe is me!'").

G4416.2

πταῖσμα (ptaisma)

(PTESS-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a stumble, fault, offense (from πταίω, to stumble — the verb of James 3:2, 'we all stumble in many things'). From the Philistine diviners' theology: return the ark with five golden tumors 'for the fault in you and in your rulers and in the people... and give glory to the God of Israel, that he may lighten his hand from you' (1 Samuel 6:4-5). Pagans grope toward a true grammar — guilt requires payment, glory must go to the God offended, hard hearts repeat Pharaoh's mistake (6:6). Their gold images are a crude guilt-offering pointing at the real one: the Servant whose soul is made the offering for fault (Isaiah 53:10).

fault
stumble, offense

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 6:5 (five buttocks of gold, for the fault in you and in your rulers and in the people... and you shall give to the LORD God glory, so that he should lighten his hand from you).

G4417.1

πταρμός (ptarmos)

(ptar-MOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a sneeze, sneezing (from πταίρω, to sneeze; the slot sits beside πταίω by numbering only). From the Leviathan poem's most exuberant line: 'in his sneezing, brightness shines forth, and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star' (Job 41:18). Even the monster's sneeze is radiant — the LORD describes His most fearsome creature with a maker's delight, eyelids like dawn. The rhetoric humbles precisely by exuberance: a God this lavish with a reptile's reflexes is not short of resource for Job's case (Job 41:11; Romans 11:35-36). Creation's terrors are His artwork before they are our problems (Psalm 104:26 — Leviathan, formed to play).

sneeze
sneezing

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 41:18 (in his sneezing brightness shines forth, and his eyes are as the appearance of the morning star).

G4418

πτέρνα (ptérna)

(pter'-nah | PTER-na | PTARE-na)

Definition

For the Septuagint (ABP) words at this number, see G4418.1–G4418.4 below.

G4418.1

πτερνίζω (pternizō)

(pter-NEE-zoh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb from πτέρνα (G4418, heel — the word of Psalm 41:9 taken up by Jesus at the table: "he who eats My bread lifted up his heel against Me," John 13:18); to strike with the heel — to trip, supplant, defraud. The Jacob-verb: "rightly is his name called Jacob, for he has heeled me these two times"; Hosea traces it to the womb, Jeremiah makes it the emblem of a faithless generation, and Malachi turns it Godward — "will a man heel-trip God? Yet you defraud Me."

to trip by the heel, supplant
to defraud, cheat

Septuagint usage

7 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 27:36 (rightly is his name called Jacob — for he has supplanted me these two times: my birthright and my blessing); Jeremiah 9:4 (let each guard against his neighbor — for every brother will utterly supplant); Hosea 12:3 (in the womb he heeled his brother, and in his strength he prevailed with God); Malachi 3:8 (will a man defraud God? Yet you defraud Me — in the tithes and the firstfruits).

G4418.2

πτερνισμός (pternismos)

(pter-nis-MOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a heel-trick, supplanting, treachery (from πτέρνα, heel — the Jacob-word family of Genesis 25 and 27). Jehu's feigned Baal-worship was 'in trickery'; and in the psalm the trusted table-companion "magnified trickery against me" — the verse Jesus takes upon His own lips of Judas at the supper (John 13:18).

trickery
supplanting

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 10:19 ("call to me all the prophets of Baal — every one of his servants and his priests"; and Jehu did it in trickery, that he might destroy the servants of Baal); Psalms 41:9 (the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, the one eating my bread — he magnified trickery against me).

G4418.3

πτερόν (pteron)

(pteh-RON)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a wing; plumage, feathers. The bird offering's feathers cast beside the altar — and the wings of Daniel's beasts, given and plucked at the will of the Most High.

wing
feathers, plumage

Septuagint usage

4 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 1:16 (the bird burnt offering — the priest removes the crop with its feathers and casts it beside the altar, in the place of the ashes); Daniel 7:4 (the first beast like a lion with eagle's wings — "I watched until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted from the ground and made to stand like a man"); Daniel 7:6 (the third beast like a leopard, with four bird's wings on its back and four heads — and dominion was given to it).

Verb — to grow wings, put forth feathers (πτερόν, wing, + φύω, to grow; the slot sits beside πτέρνα by numbering only). The LXX's rendering of the eagle-promise: 'the ones waiting upon God shall change their strength — they shall grow wings as eagles; they shall run and not tire; they shall proceed and not hunger' (Isaiah 40:31). Not borrowed lift but grown wings: strength exchanged at the source, the faint given what the Creator Himself possesses — for He does not faint or grow weary (Isaiah 40:28-29). The psalter keeps the same molt-image: your youth renewed like the eagle's (Psalm 103:5); and the waiting that grows wings is the posture the gospel calls hope (Romans 8:24-25; Galatians 6:9).

to grow wings
to put forth feathers

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 40:31 (but the ones waiting upon God shall change in strength; they shall grow wings as eagles; they shall run and shall not tire; they shall proceed and shall not hunger).

πτίλλος (ptillos)

(PTIL-loss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — bald-lidded, with mange-bared eyelids (from πτίλον, down-feather — lashes lost like molted plumage). From the priestly blemish-roster: 'hunchbacked, or spotted, or hairless of the eyes, or mangy, or scabbed, or one-testicled' — none such may approach to offer (Leviticus 21:20-21). Yet the same roster ends in mercy: the blemished priest 'shall eat the bread of his God, of the most holy things' (21:22) — barred from the altar's work, not from its table. The catalogue's exactness aches toward its resolution: a high priest 'holy, innocent, undefiled' (Hebrews 7:26), through whom the blemished are made welcome — and finally presented without blemish themselves (Ephesians 5:27; Jude 24).

bald-lidded
lash-bare

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 21:20 (or humpback, or peeling, or hairless of the eyes, or a man in whom might be a wild mange, or scabbed, or having one testicle).

πτύελος (ptyelos)

(PTEE-eh-los)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — spittle, saliva. Both occurrences belong to Job's anguish: his plea for respite "until I swallow my spittle" — misery measured in the smallest human interval — and the humiliation of those who did not spare to spit in his face.

spittle
saliva

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 7:19 ("why do You not let me alone until I swallow down my spittle?" — Job begging even a breath's reprieve from the watching God); Job 30:10 ("they abhorred me, standing apart from me — and they spared not to spit in my face").

Noun — a fold, doubling (from πτύσσω, to fold — the verb of the scroll rolled up at Luke 4:20; the slot sits beside Πτολεμαΐς by numbering only). The Leviathan armor-audit: 'who will uncover the front of his garment? and into the fold of his breastplate who can enter?' (Job 41:13). The creature is double-mailed — scales sealed so close no air passes between (41:15-17); there is no seam for a spear, no lapel to lift. The unanswerable question is the sermon: if one creature's jacket defeats mankind, the Maker's counsels are not going to be pried open by litigation (Job 38:2; 42:3 — 'things too wonderful for me').

πτωχίζω (ptōchizō)

(pto-KHEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make poor (from πτωχός, poor; causative counterpart of the base πτωχεύω, to be poor — the very verb of 2 Corinthians 8:9). Hannah's song at its hinge: 'the LORD makes poor and makes rich; he humbles and he exalts' (1 Samuel 2:7) — sung by a barren woman with a weaned son in her arms, and taken up almost line for line by a virgin with a Son beneath her heart: 'he has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty' (Luke 1:52-53). The two songs bracket the same sovereignty — and its deepest performance is the Lord's own: 'though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might be enriched' (2 Corinthians 8:9).

to make poor
to impoverish

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 2:7 (the LORD makes poor, and he enriches; he humbles, and elevates).

Definition

from πτώσσω (to crouch); akin to G4422 and the alternate of G4098); a beggar (as cringing), i.e., pauper (strictly denoting absolute or public mendicancy, although also used in a qualified or relative sense; whereas G3993 properly means only straitened circumstances in private), literally (often as noun) or figuratively (distressed); beggar(-ly), poor.

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the white-rumped antelope, addax (πυγή, rump, + ἀργός, shining white). From the clean-game list of the food laws: 'the stag, and doe, and roebuck, and antelope, and white-tailed hart, and gazelle, and camelopard' (Deuteronomy 14:5). The catalogue widens provision beyond flock and herd — the wild table is also the LORD's, and His people may eat from it with distinctions kept: Israel's menu was a daily catechism in holiness (Deuteronomy 14:2, 21). The distinctions did their teaching and were retired by the Teacher — 'thus he declared all foods clean' (Mark 7:19; Acts 10:13-15) — while the holiness they taught remains (1 Peter 1:15-16).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the box tree, boxwood (the dense, fine-grained evergreen; the slot sits beside πυνθάνομαι by numbering only).

Forestry as apologetics: the wilderness planted with royal timber until the landscape itself is evidence.

The city's defenses are prayed over, not merely garrisoned; Zion's towers are meant to be counted and recounted to the next generation (Psalm 48:12-13). The peace prayed for arrives in person — 'he himself is our peace' (Ephesians 2:14) — and the final city needs towers no longer, its gates never shut (Revelation 21:25).

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 20:10 (the fate of the wicked man's sons — let inferiors light the fire upon him, and his hands hold the pains of lawlessness); Proverbs 16:28 (a crooked man sends forth evils — and lights a fire of deceit for evils, and parts friends).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a signal-fire, beacon (sibling of πυρσεύω).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — fire-bearing; as noun, an incendiary, fire-missile (πῦρ, fire, + φέρω, to bear). The close of the Leviathan armory-audit: 'hammers are counted as stubble, and he laughs at the quaking of the fire-bearer' (Job 41:29). Humanity's whole arsenal — iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood, arrows as chaff (41:26-28) — climaxing in mockery of the torch-weapon itself: the creature laughs at ordnance. He is 'king over all the sons of pride' (41:34), and only his Maker handles him at leisure (Psalm 104:26). The speech aims its humbling at every confidence in hardware: not by might, nor by power (Zechariah 4:6).

fire-bearing
incendiary

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 41:29 (hammers are considered as stubble; and he ridicules the quaking of a fire-bearer).

From Nehemiah's wall-roster: 'Uzziel son of Harhaiah, of the refiners, repaired; and next to him Hananiah, son of the perfumers — and they established Jerusalem unto the broad wall' (Nehemiah 3:8). Goldsmiths and perfume-makers laying masonry: the roster's quiet doctrine is that the city is built by every consecrated trade, each repairing 'next to his hand,' often opposite his own house (3:10, 23). The wall of God rises by distributed craft (1 Corinthians 12:14-20) — and the refiner's proper fire has its own Master (Malachi 3:2-3).

ῥαγάς (rhagas)

(rah-GAHSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a cleft, crack, fissure (from the ῥήγνυμι family, to break; the slot sits beside ῥαβδοῦχος by numbering only). From the whistled-for invasion: the LORD whistles for the fly of Egypt and the bee of Assyria, 'and they shall come and rest, all of them, in the ravines of the land, and in the holes of the rocks, and into the caves, and into every crack, and in every tree' (Isaiah 7:18-19). Judgment with total coverage — armies as insects settling into every fissure of the landscape; no crevice is too small to be occupied. The geography of hiding fails when God summons (Amos 9:2-3); the only shelter is the one He Himself provides (Isaiah 26:20; 32:2).

cleft
crack, fissure

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 7:19 (and they shall come, and they shall all rest in the ravines of the place, and in the burrows of the rocks, and into the caves, and into every breach, and in every tree).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a tender branch, young shoot. Job's tree-vocabulary of hope and its denial: the well-watered shoot of the godless, the cut tree whose tender branch will not cease — and the branch of the wicked that never thickens.

tender branch
young shoot

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 8:16 (the godless man is like a plant moist under the sun — his tender branch goes forth over his garden); Job 14:7 ("for there is hope for a tree: if it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease"); Job 15:32 (his cutting shall wither before its time — and his tender branch shall not flourish).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Septuagint transliterated loanword (Hebrew רֹתֶם, rotem) — the broom shrub, desert broom (the ABP carries the Hebrew straight into Greek letters; the slot sits beside ῥᾳδιουργία by numbering only). Elijah's lowest hour: a day into the wilderness, 'he came and sat underneath a broom shrub, and asked for his life to die: It is enough now, O LORD; take my life, for I am no better than my fathers' (1 Kings 19:4). The answer under the broom tree is neither rebuke nor argument but sleep, a baked cake, a jar of water, and a second helping — 'arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you' (19:5-7). God feeds despair before He corrects it; the whisper at Horeb comes after breakfast (19:12).

broom shrub
desert broom (rotem)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 19:4 (and he came and stayed underneath a broom shrub, and he asked for his life to die; and he said, It is fit now, O LORD, take indeed my life from me, for I am no better than my fathers).

ῥᾳθυμέω (rhathymeō)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be listless, take one's ease, idle (from ῥᾴθυμος, easy-tempered). Jacob rousing the famine-stunned household: 'seeing that there was grain for sale in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, Why are you idle?' — the Hebrew has them staring at one another; the Greek names the paralysis (Genesis 42:1-2). Providence had already stocked Egypt through a brother they did not recognize as alive; the famine that immobilizes them is the road to him. Passivity in want is answered by 'go down there' — and the going-down lands them, unknowing, before their savior (Genesis 42:6-8; 45:5-7; Acts 7:12-13).

to be idle
to be listless

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 42:1 (and Jacob, seeing that there is grain for sale in Egypt, said to his sons, Why are you lazy?).

The NT's ῥαντίζω (G4472) is its intensive.

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — ragged, tattered (from ῥάκος, a rag — the NT's patch-cloth at Matthew 9:16). The wine-woes ledger's clothing column: 'every drunkard and whoremonger shall come to poverty, and every drowsy one shall put on torn and ragged garments' (Proverbs 23:21). Appetite has a wardrobe: what begins at the banquet ends in tatters, and the chapter's cup-woes complete the inventory — redness of eyes, wounds without cause (23:29-35). The gospel's counter-image is exact: the prodigal in rags met by the best robe (Luke 15:22), and the counsel to buy white garments from the only merchant whose clothing lasts (Revelation 3:17-18).

ragged
tattered

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 23:21 (for every intoxicated one and whoremonger shall be poor, and every sleepy one shall put on torn and ragged garments).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a thread (from ῥάπτω, to sew; the slot sits beside the place-name Ῥαμᾶ by numbering only). The second Delilah experiment: new ropes never used — 'and he pulled them from his arms like a thread' (Judges 16:12). Cords snap on Samson like sewing-thread while the real binding proceeds unnoticed: nightly persuasion, a wearied soul, a head on a lap (Judges 16:16-19). The strong man is never conquered by ropes, only by surrendered consecration — 'he did not know that the LORD had departed from him' (16:20). The stronger Samson reversed the picture: no one took His strength; He laid it down Himself, twelve legions in reserve (Matthew 26:53; John 10:18).

thread
string

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 16:12 (and Delilah took new ropes and tied him with them... and he pulled them from his arms as thread).

The trousseau He gave her — embroidered cloth, fine linen, the wardrobe of covenant love (16:10-13) — is cut up and re-sewn into shrine-drapery: grace's gifts re-tailored into rivals of the Giver. Hosea files the same charge — 'she did not know that I gave her the grain and the wine... which they used for Baal' (Hosea 2:8). Every idol is stitched from donated fabric (1 Chronicles 29:14).

The plain white linen of the perimeter breaks into color at exactly one place: the gate. Beauty marks the entrance, and there is only one — the architecture itself preaching a single, adorned way in (John 10:9; 14:6). The needle-worker's art stands at the threshold where the sinner enters toward altar and mercy seat (Hebrews 10:19-20).

The Spirit's first named filling in Scripture is of craftsmen — Bezalel and Aholiab, 'filled with the Spirit of God in wisdom' and gifted to teach (Exodus 35:30-35). Needlework is listed in the inspired inventory: the sanctuary's beauty was Spirit-work before it was thread-work.

ῥεμβεύω (rhembeuō)

(rem-VEV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to roam, wander about (from the ῥέμβω stem, to spin, rove; the slot sits beside ῥέδα by numbering only). From the taunt-song over fallen Tyre: 'take a harp, roam the city, O forgotten harlot; play well, sing much, that you may be remembered' (Isaiah 23:16). The trade-empress reduced to a street musician working for recognition — commerce as courtship, markets as solicitation. Yet the oracle's last verse swerves: after seventy years her hire returns, 'and her merchandise and her wage shall be holy to the LORD' (Isaiah 23:17-18) — even Tyre's gain ends consecrated, the nations' wealth flowing at last to the holy city (Isaiah 60:5; Revelation 21:24, 26).

to wander about

Septuagint usage

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to rove, roam about (middle of the ῥέμβω stem). The adulteress's patrol pattern: 'for at one time she roams outside, and at another she lies in wait in the squares, by every corner' (Proverbs 7:12). Proverbs sets two women in the same streets: Folly roving corner to corner to ambush (7:12; 9:14-15), and Wisdom crying aloud in the same squares to give life openly (Proverbs 1:20-21; 8:2-3; 9:3). Same venue, opposite errands — one lurks to take, the other calls to give; the difference between solicitation and invitation is the whole of the two ways (Proverbs 9:6, 18).

to rove
to roam about

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 7:12 (for at a certain time she strays outside, and another time in the squares by every corner she lies in wait).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — shivering, chill, ague (the fever-chill; the slot sits beside ῥητῶς by numbering only). From the covenant-curse register: 'the LORD strike you with perplexity, and fever, and shivering, and irritation, and carnage, and blight, and paleness — and they shall pursue you until they destroy you' (Deuteronomy 28:22). The body itself is covenant territory: chills and fevers listed as sanctions, health as blessing (28:1-6). Against that register the Gospels' healing summaries read as covenant reversal — He touched the fever and it left (Matthew 8:14-15), 'he himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses' (Matthew 8:17; Isaiah 53:4), having become a curse for us (Galatians 3:13).

(rid-ZO-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — root-mass, rootage (from ῥιζόω, to root). In Job the light of God overspreads even 'the roots of the sea'; in the psalm the doom of the treacherous tongue is to be torn up — "your root out of the land of the living" — rootedness as the figure of life itself.

root-mass
rootage

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 36:30 (behold, He stretches out His bow upon it, and covers the roots of the sea); Psalms 52:5 ("God shall demolish you unto the end; may He pluck you and remove you from your tent, and your root from the land of the living" — the sentence upon Doeg's boastful tongue).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verbal adjective — fanned, airy, well-ventilated (from ῥιπίζω, to fan — the verb of the wind-tossed doubter at James 1:6). From the woe on Jehoiakim: 'you built yourself a well-proportioned house, airy upper rooms, spaced with windows, boarded with cedar, coated in vermilion' (Jeremiah 22:14) — built, the previous verse says, with an unpaid neighbor's labor (22:13). The oracle then defines true royalty against the architecture: your father did justice for the poor and needy — 'was this not to know me? says the LORD' (22:15-16). Climate-controlled comfort is no evidence of blessing; knowing God is measured at the pay-table and the courtroom, not the cedar paneling (Amos 3:15; James 5:4).

airy
ventilated

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 22:14 (you built to yourself a well-proportioned house, with upper rooms ventilated, separated by windows, and being boarded by cedar, and being coated in vermilion).

to set down (with the suggestion of haste and want of care)
to throw to the ground, prostrate

The bridegroom's praise of the bride: 'a spring of gardens, a well of living water, rushing from Lebanon' (Song of Solomon 4:15) — not a cistern but a mountain-fed current, audible, moving, alive. 'Living water' is the phrase the canon will spend: the fountain of living waters forsaken for cracked cisterns (Jeremiah 2:13), offered again at a well in Samaria (John 4:10-14), and promised as rivers from within — 'out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water' (John 7:38).

to rush plashing
to gurgle

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Song of Solomon 4:15 (a spring of gardens, a well of living water, and gurgling from Lebanon).

At the sanctuary-river's fourth measurement: 'he measured a thousand, and he was not able to pass through, for the water had risen — as the impetus of a rushing torrent which shall not be crossed' (Ezekiel 47:5). Ankle-deep, knee-deep, waist-deep, then uncrossable: grace measured until measurement fails. What issues from the sanctuary as a trickle ends as a force that carries the measurer — healing wherever it comes (47:8-9), down to the last river of the canon (Revelation 22:1-2).

rush
impetus
