ῥομφαία (rhomphaía)

(hrom-fah'-yah | rome-FEH-ah | rome-FAY-ah)

Definition

G4501.1

ῥόπαλον (rhopalon)

(RO-pah-lon)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a club, cudgel (the slot sits beside ῥομφαία, broadsword, by numbering). The false-witness proverb in full armament: 'as a club, and a sword, and a pointed arrow — so also is the man bearing false witness against his friend' (Proverbs 25:18). Three weapons for one tongue: bludgeon for reputation, blade for close quarters, arrow for range — perjury kills at every distance. The ninth commandment guards a neighbor's life, not merely his record (Exodus 20:16; Proverbs 12:18); and the weapon was turned on the Lord Himself, whose trial ran on sought-for false testimony (Matthew 26:59-60; Psalm 57:4).

• club
• cudgel

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 25:18 (as a club, and a sword, and a pointed arrow, so also the man bearing false witness against his friend).

G4501.2

ῥοπή (rhopē)

(ro-PEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the tilt of the scale-beam, the deciding downward turn of a balance. Twice the scales speak of God: in Proverbs the tilt of the balance is righteousness with the LORD — His weights are just; in Isaiah 40 the nations themselves weigh only as the tilt of a balance — a dust-grain's difference before the incomparable God.

• tilt of the balance
• decisive weight

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 16:11 (the tilt of the yoke-balance is righteousness with the LORD — and His works are just weights); Isaiah 40:15 (behold, all the nations are as a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as the tilt of the balance — and shall be counted as spittle).

G4503.1

ῥοών (rhoōn)

(ro-OWN)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a pomegranate grove, orchard of pomegranates (from ῥόα, pomegranate; the slot sits beside the name Ῥούθ by numbering only). In the great mourning-oracle: 'in that day the mourning in Jerusalem shall be magnified, as the mourning of the pomegranate grove cut down in the plain' (Zechariah 12:11 — the Hebrew names Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo, the valley of Josiah's death-mourning, 2 Chronicles 35:22-25; the LXX hears rimmon as 'pomegranate' and renders a felled orchard). Either way the measure is national grief — and its cause is the verse before: 'they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and mourn as for an only son' (Zechariah 12:10; John 19:37; Revelation 1:7).

• pomegranate grove
• orchard cut down

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Zechariah 12:11 (in that day the beating of the breast shall be magnified in Jerusalem, as the beating of the breast over the pomegranate grove in the plain, having been cut down).

G4503.2

ῥύαξ (rhyax)

(REE-ahks)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a channel, runnel, torrent-stream (from ῥέω, to flow — a made or natural water-course). From the temple-vision's working drawings: 'behind the channel of the whole burnt-offerings, at the north-facing gate, two tables; and behind the other side, at the porch of the gate, two tables' (Ezekiel 40:40) — eight slaughter-tables in all, with their hooks and instruments (40:41-43). The vision has plumbing: sacrifice on this scale needs channels, and the drawings say so without embarrassment. The daily flow that required drainage is precisely what the one offering retired — 'every priest stands daily... but this man, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down' (Hebrews 10:11-12).

• channel
• torrent-stream

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 40:40 (and in back of the overflow of the whole burnt-offerings, of the part looking to the north, were two tables; and according to the back of the other, at the columned porch of the gate, two tables).

G4503.3

ῥυθμίζω (rhythmizō)

(reeth-MEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to bring into proportion, fit together, compose (from ῥυθμός, measured order). From the idol-shop exposé: the carpenter chooses wood, sets it by measure, shapes it with marker and square, 'and with glue he composes it — and he made it as the form of a man, as the beauty of a man, to set it in a little shrine' (Isaiah 44:13). Rhythm, proportion, adhesive: a god assembled to human specifications, in the maker's own image — the exact inversion of Genesis 1:27, man exchanging the glory of God for a likeness of himself (Romans 1:22-23). The satire's quiet horror: half the same log warms his dinner (Isaiah 44:15-17), 'and none considers in his heart' (44:19).

• to fit together
• to compose in proportion

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 44:13 (the fabricator, having chosen a piece of wood, sets it with a measure, and forms it with a scraper; he made it with a carpenter's square, and with glue he composes it; and he made it as the appearance of a man).

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 28:15 (you shall make the breastpiece of judgment, the work of an embroiderer — according to the proportion of the ephod you shall make it, of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen); 2 Kings 16:10 (King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser — and saw the altar in Damascus, and sent Urijah the priest its likeness and its proportion for all its workmanship); Song of Solomon 7:1 (how beautiful are your steps in sandals, O daughter of a prince — the proportions of your thighs are like ornaments, the work of a craftsman's hands).

From the manna-week's first kept sabbath, through the Day of Atonement's "sabbath of sabbaths," to the land itself sabbathing its unkept sabbaths through seventy years of exile.

σαβέκ (sabek)

(sah-VEK)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Septuagint transliterated loanword (Hebrew סְבַךְ, sebak) — a thicket, tangle of branches (the ABP carries the Hebrew straight into Greek letters; the slot sits beside σάββατον by numbering only). The word holds the branches of Moriah: 'Abraham, looking up, saw — and behold, one ram held in a plant of the thicket by the horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a whole offering instead of Isaac his son' (Genesis 22:13). Substitution stated in one preposition — ἀντί, instead of — and the mountain is named for it: 'the LORD will see to it' (Genesis 22:14). The provided victim, caught and not fleeing, dies in the beloved son's place; the whole gospel waits in that thicket (John 1:29; Romans 8:32 — the Father who 'did not spare his own son').

• thicket (sebak)
• tangle of branches

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 22:13 (and behold, one ram being held in a plant of a thicket by the horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and he offered it for a whole offering instead of Isaac his son).

σάγμα (sagma)

(SAHG-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a packsaddle (from σάττω, to load, pack; plural here; the slot sits beside σαγήνη by numbering only). Rachel's contraband: 'Rachel took the idols and put them in the packsaddles of the camel, and sat on them' (Genesis 31:34) — and pleads indisposition while Laban frisks the tent (31:35). The satire is complete: gods that can be stolen, stuffed in luggage, and sat upon by a woman claiming uncleanness. Isaiah writes the sequel for all such deities — Bel bows, Nebo stoops, 'their idols are for the beasts and cattle: a burden for the weary' (Isaiah 46:1-2) — against the God who carries His people instead (Isaiah 46:3-4).

• packsaddle
• camel-saddle

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Septuagint transliterated loanword (Hebrew שַׁדַּי, Shaddai) — the Almighty, carried untranslated into Greek letters. From the glory's departure-narrative: 'the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard unto the outer courtyard, as the voice of God Shaddai speaking' (Ezekiel 10:5) — the wing-thunder first heard by the Chebar (Ezekiel 1:24, where the same comparison is made). The name is the patriarchs' — 'I am God Almighty; walk before me' (Genesis 17:1; Exodus 6:3) — and here its volume attends the throne even as the glory withdraws by stages from the defiled house (Ezekiel 10:18-19; 11:23). The voice like many waters returns where the glory does (Ezekiel 43:2; Revelation 1:15).

• Shaddai
• the Almighty (transliterated)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 10:5 (and the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard unto the outer courtyard, as the sound of God Saddai speaking).

σαδημώθ (sadēmōth)

(sah-dee-MOTH)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Septuagint transliterated loanword (Hebrew שַׁדְמוֹת, shademoth) — fields, terraces (the ABP carries the Hebrew of 'the fields of Kidron' straight into Greek letters; the slot sits beside Σαδδουκαῖος by numbering only). Josiah's purge: all the vessels made for Baal and Asherah and the host of heaven brought out of the temple 'and incinerated outside Jerusalem in the sademoth of Kidron, and their dust carried to Bethel' (2 Kings 23:4). The Kidron terraces serve as the reformation's furnace — and Jeremiah's new-covenant oracle reaches exactly there: 'all the fields unto the brook Kidron... shall be holy to the LORD' (Jeremiah 31:40). The ash-dump is on the map of redemption; the King Himself crossed that brook on the night He was betrayed (John 18:1).

• fields (shademoth)
• terraces of Kidron

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 23:4 (and he incinerated them outside Jerusalem in the plain of Kidron, and he took their dust into Beth-el).

σαδηρώθ (sadērōth)

(sah-dee-ROTH)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Transliterated Hebrew noun — the sederoth, 'ranks, rows' (Hebrew שְׂדֵרוֹת), the ordered files of guards at Joash's coronation. Both occurrences are Jehoiada's security order: the boy king ringed by armed ranks, and Athaliah led out between them to her death.

• ranks
• ordered rows

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 11:8 ("you shall encircle the king round about, every man with his weapon in his hand — and the one entering into the ranks shall die; and be with the king in his going out and coming in"); 2 Kings 11:15 (Jehoiada commanded the captains — "lead her outside the ranks, and the one going in after her shall die by the sword"; for the priest said, "let her not be killed in the house of the LORD").

σαθρός (sathros)

(sah-THROSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — rotten, decayed, unsound (the slot sits beside the name Σαδώκ by numbering only). From the Leviathan armory-audit: 'he esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood' (Job 41:27). Humanity's two best metals, graded by the creature as chaff and punk-wood — the audit continues through arrows, slings, and fire-missiles, all laughed at (41:28-29). The speech's design: if one animal devalues our whole materials science, the Maker's supremacy needs no further brief (Job 41:10-11). Man's confidence in hardware is itself the rotten timber (Psalm 20:7; Isaiah 31:1).

• rotten
• decayed

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 41:27 (for he esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood).

σαθρόω (sathroō)

(sah-THRO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make rotten, wear down, shatter (denominative of σαθρός, rotten — see the sibling entry above). From the Ammonite oppression: 'they wore down and crushed the sons of Israel in that time — eighteen years, all the sons of Israel beyond the Jordan' (Judges 10:8). The cycle's grim vocabulary: sin, sale into hostile hands, erosion year by year. What breaks the cycle is not Israel's bargaining ('do to us whatever is good in your eyes') but a line unique in the book: after they put away the strange gods, 'his soul was grieved at the misery of Israel' (Judges 10:15-16). The people wear down; the divine patience does not — He cannot watch their misery unmoved (Isaiah 63:9; Hosea 11:8).

• to wear down
• to shatter

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 10:8 (and they disintegrated and crushed the sons of Israel in that time — eighteen years, all of the sons of Israel on the other side of the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, in Gilead).

σαπρίζω (saprizō)

(sah-PREE-zo)

Definition

The asymmetry is the point: the ointment took skill and time; the flies need only fall in. Reputation, character, and fellowship spoil on the same chemistry — a little leaven leavens the lump (1 Corinthians 5:6; Galatians 5:9) — which is why a good name is guarded like the oil it is compared to (Ecclesiastes 7:1; Song of Solomon 1:3).

• to make rotten
• to putrefy

From the Mahanaim provisioning: Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai bring beds, wheat, honey, butter, sheep, 'and cheese from oxen, and brought them near to David and the people with him to eat — for they said, The people are hungry and fainting and thirsty in the wilderness' (2 Samuel 17:27-29). The fugitive king, cursed and weeping on the ascent, is met with a laden table: providence wears the faces of three friends. David had prayed for Ahithophel's counsel to be turned to foolishness (15:31); the answer came with bread and cheese — the shepherd's own table-in-the-wilderness psalm lived out (Psalm 23:5; Matthew 25:35).

• cheese (shephoth)
• curds of the herd

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Samuel 17:29 (and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese from oxen; and they brought them near to David, and to the people with him, to eat — for they said, The people are hungering and fainting and thirsting in the wilderness).

The king edits by increments — a few columns at a time, no fear, no torn garments (36:24). The word answers by dictation: Baruch writes it all again, 'and there were added besides unto them many like words' (36:32).

A three-year heifer in full strength, lowing as it flees — Moab's panic given a farmyard voice. The astonishing note of the oracle is who mourns: 'therefore my heart shall moan for Moab like a flute' (Jeremiah 48:36) — judgment pronounced through tears, by the God who takes no pleasure in the death of the dying (Ezekiel 18:32).

σεραφίμ (seraphim)

(seh-rah-FEEM)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Transliterated Hebrew noun — the seraphim, 'burning ones' (Hebrew שְׂרָפִים, from saraph, to burn), the six-winged attendants of the enthroned King in Isaiah's temple vision. They cover face and feet before the thrice-holy LORD, and from their fire one flies with the altar-coal that purges the prophet's unclean lips — holiness that both consumes and atones.

• seraphim
• burning ones

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 6:2 (seraphim stood round about Him — six wings to the one, and six wings to the other: with two they covered the face, with two they covered the feet, and with two they flew); Isaiah 6:6 (there was sent to me one of the seraphim, and in his hand a live coal which he took with the tongs from the altar — and he touched my mouth: "behold, this has touched your lips, and shall remove your lawlessness, and thoroughly cleanse your sins").

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a beet (diminutive of σεῦτλον; the slot sits beside the name Σέργιος by numbering only). The LXX's homely image for Jerusalem's collapsed sons: 'your sons, perplexed, sleeping at the head of every street, as a half-boiled beet — full of the rage of the LORD' (Isaiah 51:20; the Hebrew compares them to an antelope in a net). Wrath leaves its objects limp as overboiled vegetables — the kitchen simile is deliberate in its indignity. But the oracle turns on the cup: 'behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering... you shall no more drink it' (Isaiah 51:22) — the cup passes from her hand because Another will take it (Matthew 26:39).

• beet
• half-boiled beet

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a flag, standard (from σῆμα, sign; the slot sits beside the name Σήμ by numbering only). The end-point of trusting Egypt's horses: 'a thousand shall flee at the voice of one... until you are left as a mast upon a mountain, and as a flag borne upon a hill' (Isaiah 30:16-17). The nation reduced to a single visible pole — stripped to a signal. And then the hinge no reader expects: 'therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you... blessed are all who wait for him' (Isaiah 30:18). The remnant left as a lone ensign is not abandoned but appointed — the banner-logic that culminates in a root of Jesse standing as a signal to the peoples (Isaiah 11:10, 12).

• flag

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a signaling, a marked signal (from σημειόω, to mark — 2 Thessalonians 3:14's 'note that man'). From the after-defeat psalm: 'you gave to the ones fearing you a signal, to flee from the face of the bow' (Psalm 60:4 — the Hebrew speaks of a banner given 'to be displayed because of the truth'). Even in the day of broken defenses God's fearers are not left signal-less: there is a rallying-point, a marked way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). The banner given to the fearers gathers the canon's ensign-line — YHWH-nissi at the Amalek altar (Exodus 17:15), the root of Jesse raised as a standard (Isaiah 11:10), and the Son lifted up that whoever looks may live (John 3:14-15).

The Day Star's state bed remade: maggots for a mattress, worm for a blanket — pride's wardrobe in the grave (14:12-15; the same audit visits Herod in his robes, Acts 12:21-23). The taunt's photographic negative is the King who went down and saw no corruption — 'you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor give your Holy One to see decay' (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:31).

• putrefaction

Noun — the jowl, cheek-piece (diminutive of σιαγών, cheek — the word of Matthew 5:39; plural here; the slot sits beside σθενόω by numbering only). From the priests' due: 'this is the judgment for the priests from the people... you shall give the priest the shoulder, and the jowls, and the stomach' (Deuteronomy 18:3). The clergy of Israel ate from the worshiper's hand because they held no land: 'the LORD is his inheritance' (18:1-2) — their menu was their theology. The same chapter then promises the Prophet like Moses (18:15) — the Priest-Prophet whose portion-language went further still: He gave the cheek itself (Isaiah 50:6), and His food was to do the will of Him who sent Him (John 4:34).
