G4617.1

σιρών (sirōn)

(see-ROWN)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an ornament, pendant (the LXX's term standing beside the crescents in Gideon's spoil-list; it echoes the Hebrew pendant-vocabulary of the verse — the precise form is preserved rather than pressed; the slot sits beside σινιάζω by numbering only). 'Besides the ornaments of the crescents, and the purple garments on the kings of Midian, and the collars on their camels' necks' (Judges 8:26) — even the camels wore jewelry. The audit of Midian's finery funds the story's snare: from this gold Gideon makes the ephod 'and all Israel went whoring after it there' (8:27). Spoil worn lightly becomes worship wrongly; the safest treasury is the one Moses took — spoil consecrated to the sanctuary, not the hero (Numbers 31:50-54).

ornament
pendant

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 8:26 (besides the ornaments of the crescents, and the wrap-around garments of purple, the ones upon the kings of Midian, even besides the collars of the ones on the necks of their camels).

G4617.2

σισόη (sisoē)

(see-SO-ee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a devoted forelock, a lock of hair consecrated to an idol (the LXX's word for the pagan hair-rite behind the edge-trimming ban). 'You shall not make a devoted lock from the hair of your head, nor mar the appearance of your beards' (Leviticus 19:27) — set among bans on augury, tattoo-marks for the dead, and cutting for the dead (19:26-28): the body is not a billboard for other gods or other lords, including death itself (Deuteronomy 14:1). The positive is ownership, not austerity: Israel's bodies belonged to the LORD who redeemed them — the logic Paul completes: 'you are not your own; you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body' (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

devoted forelock
idol-consecrated lock

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 19:27 (you shall not make a lock of hair consecrated to an idol from out of the hair of your head, nor shall you corrupt the appearance of your beards).

G4618.1

σιτέομαι (siteomai)

(see-TEH-o-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to feed on, take as one's diet (from σῖτος, grain). The two-ways chapter's menu for the wicked: 'for they feed on the grain of impiety, and are intoxicated by the wine of lawlessness' (Proverbs 4:17) — evil not as episode but as diet, sin metabolized until it is the body's fuel (they cannot sleep unless they cause a fall, 4:16; Job 15:16 drinks iniquity like water). The proverb's grammar assumes everyone eats something habitually; the only question is the pantry. The counter-table is set in the same terms: bread of life (John 6:35), and a food the world knows not — 'my food is to do the will of him who sent me' (John 4:32-34).

to feed on
to make one's diet

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 4:17 (for thus they feed well on grain of impiety, and by wine of a lawbreaker they are intoxicated).

G4618.2

σιτίον (sition)

(see-TEE-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — food, victuals (diminutive of σῖτος, grain; genitive plural here). From Agur's four unbearable things: 'under a servant when he reigns, and a fool when he is filled with food' (Proverbs 30:21-22). Not poverty but sudden plenty is the fool's stress-test — satiety without character capsizes households and kingdoms (Proverbs 19:10). Agur had already prayed the guardrail for himself: 'give me neither poverty nor riches... lest I be full and deny you' (30:8-9). The filled fool has a Gospel portrait — barns torn down, bigger ones planned, a soul required that night (Luke 12:19-20).

food
victuals

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 30:22 (if a domestic servant should reign, and a fool should be filled with food).

G4619

σιτιστός (sitistós)

(sit-is-tos' | see-tee-STOSE | see-tee-STOSE)

Definition

from a derivative of G4621; grained, i.e., fatted; fatling.

fattened

G4619.1

σιτοβολών (sitobolōn)

(see-to-vo-LOWN)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a granary, grain-store (σῖτος, grain, + the βάλλω stem — where grain is cast for keeping; plural here). The famine's hinge: 'the famine was upon the face of all the earth, and Joseph opened all the granaries and sold to all the Egyptians' (Genesis 41:56). Seven years of quiet gathering (41:48-49, 'as the sand of the sea, beyond numbering') open on schedule; Pharaoh's standing order stands over the scene — 'go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do' (41:55). The rejected brother becomes the world's storehouse: the pattern the true Joseph fills to the doors — bread for the world, opened when the hour came (John 6:35, 51; Acts 7:9-14).

granary
grain-store

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 41:56 (and the famine was upon the face of all the earth; and Joseph opened all the granaries, and sold to all the Egyptians).

G4619.2

σιτοδεία (sitodeia)

(see-to-DEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — scarcity of grain, bread-famine (σῖτος, grain, + the δέω stem, to lack). From the covenant-curse ladder: 'when I afflict you there shall be scarcity of loaves — ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give back your loaves by weight, and you shall eat and in no way be filled' (Leviticus 26:26). One oven serving ten households, bread weighed like bullion, appetite outliving the ration — scarcity as sanction (Ezekiel 4:16 repeats the by-weight sign). The covenant's blessing runs the arithmetic in reverse: bread eaten to fullness (Leviticus 26:5), and at the true Bread's hands, five loaves, five thousand filled, twelve baskets over (Mark 6:41-43).

grain-scarcity
bread-famine

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 26:26 (in your being afflicted there will be scarcity of bread loaves; ten women shall bake your bread loaves in one oven, and they shall give back the bread loaves to you by weight; and you shall eat, and in no way shall you be filled).

G4619.3

σιτοδοσία (sitodosia)

(see-to-dho-SEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a giving of grain, food-provision (σῖτος, grain + δίδωμι, to give). Joseph's grain sent home with the tested brothers — and Nehemiah's confession-prayer naming the manna: bread from heaven for their provision.

grain-provision
food supply

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 42:19 ("if you are honest, let one of your brothers be bound in your prison — but you, go, carry the grain-provision of your households"); Genesis 42:33 (the brothers retell it — "take the grain-provision of your households and go, and bring your youngest brother to me"); Nehemiah 9:15 ("You gave them bread from heaven for their provision, and brought water out of the rock for their thirst").

G4619.4

σιτομετρέω (sitometreō)

(see-to-meh-TREH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to measure out grain, ration bread (σῖτος, grain + μετρέω, to measure — the verb beneath the NT's σιτομέτριον, the 'measure of grain' the faithful steward gives at the proper time, Luke 12:42). Joseph's famine administration in both occurrences: the appointed provider measuring out life to his father's household and to all Egypt.

to measure out grain
to ration bread

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 47:12 (Joseph measured out grain to his father, and his brothers, and all the house of his father — bread according to each mouth); Genesis 47:14 (Joseph gathered all the silver found in the land of Egypt and Canaan, for the grain which they bought — as he measured grain out to them; and he brought the silver into Pharaoh's house).

G4620

σιτόμετρον (sitómetron)

(sit-om'-et-ron | see-TOH-meh-trone | see-TOH-may-trone)

Definition

from G4621 and G3358; a grain-measure, i.e., (by implication) ration (allowance of food); portion of meat.

a measured 'portion of' grain or 'food'

G4620.1

σιτοποιός (sitopoios)

(see-to-pee-OSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a baker, bread-maker (σῖτος, grain, + ποιέω, to make). From the chief baker's dream: 'in the top basket were all kinds of things Pharaoh eats — the work of a baker; and the birds of the heaven ate them from the basket upon my head' (Genesis 40:17). Two officers, two dreams, one interpreter — and Joseph's readings discriminate exactly: heads lifted up in restoration and in execution on the same birthday (40:13, 19-22). The prison-scene's doctrine is stated before either dream is heard: 'do not interpretations belong to God?' (40:8) — the word that sorts two condemned men beside him anticipates a greater discrimination between two others, at another lifting up (Luke 23:39-43).

baker
bread-maker

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 40:17 (and in the bin above, items of all kinds of things of which Pharaoh eats — the work of a baker; and the birds of the heaven ate them from the bin upon my head).

Σιών (Siṓn)

(see-own' | see-ONE | see-ONE)

Definition

a parched place; of Hebrew origin (H6726); Sion (i.e., Tsijon), a hill of Jerusalem; figuratively, the Church (militant or triumphant); Sion.

the hill on which the higher and more ancient part of Jerusalem was built
- the southwestern most and highest of the hills on which the city was built
often used of the entire city of Jerusalem
since Jerusalem because the temple stood there, was called the dwelling place of God

G4623

σιωπάω (siōpáō)

(see-o-pah'-o | see-oh-PA-oh | see-oh-PA-oh)

Definition

from σιωπή (silence, i.e. a hush; properly, muteness, i.e. involuntary stillness, or inability to speak; and thus differing from G4602, which is rather a voluntary refusal or indisposition to speak, although the terms are often used synonymously); to be dumb (but not deaf also, like 2974 properly); figuratively, to be calm (as quiet water); dumb, (hold) peace.

to be silent, hold one's peace
- used of one's silence because dumb
metaphorically of a calm, quiet sea

G4623.1

σιωπή (siōpē)

(see-o-PEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — silence (from σιωπάω, to be silent). From the fourth vision's aftermath: 'the panels of the temple shall shriek in that day... many are the fallen; in every place I will cast silence' (Amos 8:3). The judgment-sequence of Amos 8 runs from songs to wailing to the rarest famine: 'not a famine of bread... but of hearing the words of the LORD' — men staggering sea to sea seeking a word and not finding it (8:11-12). Silence is the terminal sanction: God's worst is to stop speaking (1 Samuel 28:6, 15; Psalm 74:9). Its lifting is therefore gospel — after four hundred years, 'the word of God came to John' (Luke 3:2).

silence
stillness

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Amos 8:3 (and the fretworks of the temple shall shriek in that day, says the LORD; many are the fallen; in every place I will cast a silence).

G4623.2

σιώπησις (siōpēsis)

(see-O-pee-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a keeping silent (from σιωπάω above, to be silent). The LXX's veil-word in the Song — where the Hebrew sets the bride's eyes behind her veil (tsammah), the Greek hears "behind your silence."

silence
veil (LXX Song)

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Song of Solomon 4:1 (behold, you are beautiful, my love — your eyes are doves, behind your silence); Song of Solomon 4:3 (your lips are like a scarlet thread, and your speech lovely — your cheek like a pomegranate-half, behind your silence); Song of Solomon 6:7 (your cheek is like a pomegranate-half — behind your silence).

G4623.3

σκάλλω (skallō)

(SKAHL-lo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to hoe, dig, till (imperfect here — 'my spirit kept digging'). Asaph's insomnia given a farm-tool: 'I meditated by night; with my heart I conversed, and my spirit tilled' (Psalm 77:6). Meditation as tillage — the sleepless man turning over the hard ground of God's apparent absence ('will the Lord cast off forever?', 77:7-9) until the spade strikes memory: 'I will remember the works of the LORD... your way, O God, is in the holy place' (77:10-13). The digging ends at the Red Sea — 'your way was in the sea' (77:19) — the buried deliverance excavated and found load-bearing. The discipline is repeatable: dig the past acts of God until the present despair yields (Lamentations 3:21-23).

to till
to dig over

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 77:6 (and I meditated; by night with my heart I conversed, and my spirit tilled).

G4623.4

σκαμβός (skambos)

(skahm-BOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — crooked, bent (feminine here — 'a crooked heart'). From the king's house-rules psalm: 'a crooked heart did not cleave to me; the wicked man turning aside from me I did not know' (Psalm 101:4). David legislates his own court: no slanderer retained, no haughty eye endured, the faithful of the land seated at table (101:5-7) — the palace as a preview of the purged city (101:8). The vow outran the vower; it reads as the manifesto of David's greater Son, whose house admits nothing that makes an abomination or a lie (Revelation 21:27), and who straightens crooked hearts rather than merely excluding them (Luke 3:5; Ezekiel 36:26).

crooked
bent

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 101:4 (a crooked heart cleaved not to me; the one turning aside from me, the wicked man, I knew not).

G4627.1

σκελίζω (skelizō)

(skeh-LEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to trip up, take by the leg, upend (from σκέλος, leg — the wrestler's leg-sweep; the slot sits beside σκάφη by numbering only). The exile announced as a throw: 'behold, I trip up the ones dwelling in this land, and I will squeeze them out, so that it should be found' (Jeremiah 10:18 — the Hebrew slings them out as from a sling). The wrestling-image is exact: not annihilation but a fall engineered — and the LXX's strange purpose-clause, 'that it may be found,' flickers toward the book's own promise: 'you shall seek me and find me, when you search with all your heart... and I will be found by you, says the LORD' (Jeremiah 29:13-14). The throw is real; so is the finding on the far side of it (Deuteronomy 4:29).

to trip up
to upend

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 10:18 (for thus says the LORD, Behold, I trip up the ones dwelling in this land, and I will squeeze them out, so that it should be found).

Verb from σκέπη (G4629.2, shelter); to shelter, cover, protect — the LXX's Passover rendering of the Hebrew פָּסַח (pasach): "I will see the blood, and I will shelter you"; the hand of God covering Moses in the cleft of the rock; and the eagle sheltering its nest of Deuteronomy 32.

Definition

Nehemiah's defense of the half-built wall: 'I stationed men in the lowest places behind the wall, in the sheltered spots — and I stationed the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows' (Nehemiah 4:13). Cover used, not despised: prudence and faith in one deployment, for the speech that follows is pure theology — 'remember the Lord, great and fearful, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters' (4:14) — and the verdict likewise: 'God had frustrated their counsel' (4:15). Builders with one hand, weapon in the other (4:17): watchfulness and trust are not rivals (Psalm 127:1; Mark 14:38).

sheltered
covered

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Nehemiah 4:13 (and I stood men in the lowermost place from behind the wall, in the protected places; and I stood the people according to peoples, with their broadswords, and their wooden spears, and their bows).

G4630.1

σκευασία (skeuasia)

(skev-ah-SEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a preparation, compounded mixture (from σκευάζω, to prepare; the slot sits beside the name Σκευᾶς by numbering only). The perfumer's proverb names his product with this word: 'dying flies will rot a preparation of sweet oil; a little wisdom is more precious than great glory of folly' (Ecclesiastes 10:1). A compounding is by definition slow — measured ingredients, patient blending, the apothecary's art (Exodus 30:25 knows the craft at its holiest) — and its ruin is by definition quick. So with a name, a ministry, a character: composed over years, spoiled by a small dead thing left in it (1 Corinthians 5:6). The ointment's guard is the daily lid (Proverbs 4:23).

preparation
compounded mixture

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 10:1 (a fly put to death will rot a concoction of luscious oil; a little wisdom is valuable over great glory of folly).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verbal adjective — fabricated, forged, made-up (from σκευάζω, to prepare, equip). The servants' charter: 'every weapon fabricated against you shall not prosper, and every voice that rises against you for judgment, you shall vanquish them all... it is the inheritance of the ones attending the LORD, and you shall be righteous to me, says the LORD' (Isaiah 54:17). Two arsenals are neutralized — forged hardware and litigating voices — and the immunity is called an inheritance, not an achievement: it is deeded to 'the servants of the LORD' on the far side of chapter 53, where the Servant bore the weapons and answered the voices (Isaiah 53:5, 7, 11; Romans 8:33-34 — 'who shall bring a charge against God's elect?').

fabricated
forged

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 54:17 (every weapon concocted against you shall not be prosperous; and every voice that shall rise up against you for judgment, all of them you shall vanquish).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a baggage-keeper, keeper of the stores (σκεῦος, gear, + φύλαξ, guard). The valley of Elah's quietest verse: 'David left his items with the hand of the baggage-keeper, and ran to the battle line, and came and asked his brothers of their peace' (1 Samuel 17:22). The provision-run becomes the kingdom's hinge — cheeses for the captain, and a shepherd unencumbered running toward the line no soldier would cross (17:17-18, 32). The detail preaches: he laid the baggage down before he ran (Hebrews 12:1); forty days of the champion's taunts end because an errand-boy traveled light and carried a bigger Name (17:45).

baggage-keeper
keeper of stores

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 17:22 (and David relieved his items from himself unto the hand of the provisions officer, and he ran to the battle array, and he came and asked his brothers the things for peace).

the construction of a tabernacle or tabernacles
the feast of tabernacles

Note

The feast of tabernacles was observed by the Jews yearly for seven days, beginning with the 15th of the month Tisri (approximately our October) partly to perpetuate the memory of the time when their ancestors after leaving Egypt dwelt in tents on their way through the Arabian desert and partly as a season of festivity and joy on the completion of the harvest and the vintage (the festival of ingatherings). In celebrating the festival the Jews were accustomed to construct booths of the leafy branches of trees (perhaps on the roofs or in the courts of their dwellings or in the streets and squares) and to adorn them with flowers and fruits of all kinds under which, throughout the period of the festival, they feasted and gave themselves up to rejoicing.

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Neuter noun; a scepter, staff of rule; by metonymy a tribe (a 'staff' of Israel) — the LXX of Kingdoms uses it both ways: Saul's smallest of the scepters (tribes), and the ten scepters torn from Solomon's kingdom in Ahijah's sign.

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a sunshade, parasol, awning (diminutive of σκιά, shadow; plural here).

The exiles return not as refugees but as a presented offering, carried under parasols like royalty — the nations themselves doing the carrying. Paul takes the verse as his job description: a minister 'that the offering of the Gentiles might be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit' (Romans 15:16).

sunshade
awning

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 66:20 (and they shall lead your brethren from out of all the nations, as a gift to the LORD, with horses and chariots, in royal chariots drawn by mules with awnings, into the holy city Jerusalem).

Adjective — hard-hearted (σκληρός, hard + καρδία, heart — the adjective beneath σκληροκαρδία, the hardness of heart Jesus names in Matthew 19:8).

Definition

The commission's job conditions: 'sons hard-faced and hard-hearted — I am sending you to them; and you shall say, Thus says the Lord GOD' (Ezekiel 2:4). The audience is defined by two hardnesses; the remedy is not a softer message but a harder messenger: 'behold, I have made your face strong against their faces... as adamant, harder than flint' (Ezekiel 3:8-9). God out-hardens the hard for His servant's sake — the set-face grace given to the Servant ('I set my face like a flint,' Isaiah 50:7) and enacted by the Lord who 'set his face to go to Jerusalem' (Luke 9:51).

Jeremiah is appointed a tester of metals (6:27), and the smelt fails — 'the bellows blow, the lead is consumed... refuse silver men call them, for the LORD has rejected them' (6:29-30). A walk can be assayed like an alloy, and this one is base metal walking a bent line. The Baptist's road-work announces the counter-miracle: crooked ways straightened for the coming of the salvation of God (Luke 3:4-6; Philippians 2:15).

Noun — a lookout-crag, peak, marker-height (from the σκοπέω stem, to watch — a sighted point; here rendering the Hebrew's grave-marker; the slot sits beside σκόλοψ by numbering only). Josiah at Bethel, mid-purge: 'What is that marker I see? And the men of the city said, The grave of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these words which you have done against the altar of Beth-el' (2 Kings 23:17). Three centuries earlier the unnamed prophet had named Josiah and this very day (1 Kings 13:2); the king stands inside a fulfilled prophecy and orders the monument spared: 'let no one move his bones' (23:18). The crag is a cairn to the word that keeps (Isaiah 46:10; Joshua 21:45).

The account omits what the menu cost: quotas, bricks, drowned sons — bondage remembered as buffet. The chain of that fatal appetite runs through the Lexicon's entries for the melons, leeks, and onions; the answer stands where it always stood: 'I am the bread of life' (John 6:31-35; Psalm 78:18-19).

Noun — the dark of the moon, a moonless night (σκότος, darkness, + μήνη, moon; the ABP glosses the phrase 'in moonlight' — the Greek names the month's blackest night). The ambush described to David mid-flight: 'behold, the sinners have bent the bow, they prepared arrows for the quiver, to shoot in the moonless dark at the upright in heart' (Psalm 11:2) — with the counsel already refused in verse 1: 'flee as a bird to your mountain.' David's answer is a different observatory: 'the LORD is in his holy temple... his eyes behold, his eyelids examine the sons of men' (11:4). Archers need darkness; the examining gaze needs none (Psalm 139:11-12; John 3:20) — so the upright stay put in the open (Psalm 11:1, 7).

A year of cosmetic preparation for an empire's approval — the machinery into which orphaned Esther is taken, and inside which providence quietly installs a deliverer 'for such a time as this' (Esther 4:14).

The first contest of the plagues: 'Pharaoh called together the wise men of Egypt and the sorcerers, and the enchanters of Egypt did likewise with their sorceries' (Exodus 7:11) — staffs to serpents, imitation as apologetic.

G4680.1

σοφόω (sophoō)

(so-FO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make wise (denominative of σοφός, wise). The LXX's striking reading in the hallel: 'the LORD makes wise the blind; the LORD raises up the ones broken down; the LORD loves the just' (Psalm 146:8 — the Hebrew opens blind eyes; the Greek hears sight as wisdom given). The two readings are one gift twice named: what the blind man lacks is not optics but light, and the Opener grants both — 'one thing I know: I was blind, now I see,' from lips growing wiser about their healer question by question (John 9:25, 35-38). The psalm's engineering holds: sight, standing, and love flow from the same LORD (Ephesians 1:17-18 — 'the eyes of your heart enlightened').

to make wise
to give wisdom

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 146:8 (the LORD gives wisdom to the blind; the LORD re-erects the ones being broken down; the LORD loves the just).

G4680.2

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — wisely (the ABP's adverb-slot beside σοφός, wise). The valiant woman's wise mouth, the LORD who wisely brought calamity on the counselors of Egypt — and Isaiah's irony: the idol-maker wisely planning a god that will not totter.

wisely

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 31:26 (she opens her mouth wisely — and the law of kindness is on her tongue); Isaiah 31:2 (yet He also is wise and wisely brought calamities — and His word shall not be annulled; He will rise against the houses of evildoers); Isaiah 40:20 (the craftsman wisely seeks how he shall set up an image — choosing wood that will not rot — so that it will not totter).

G4680.3

σπάδων (spadōn)

(SPAH-don)

Definition

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

eunuch
court chamberlain

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 37:36 (the Midianites sold Joseph into Egypt, to Potiphar the eunuch of Pharaoh, the chief guard); Isaiah 39:7 ("they shall take of your sons whom you engendered — and they shall be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon").

σπανίζω (spanizō)

(spah-NID-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be scarce, run short, be depleted. In Kings the affliction of Israel was 'very depleted' — none left, bond or free, and no helper — the emptiness into which the LORD sent salvation by Jeroboam son of Joash; in Job the sea's waters run short as a figure of man lying down and not rising.

to be scarce
to be depleted

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 14:26 (the LORD saw the affliction of Israel — very bitter and being depleted: restrained, forsaken, and there was no helper; and He delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam); Job 14:11 (in time the sea is depleted, and a river made desolate dries up — but a man lying down shall not rise again until the heaven be unstitched).

G4681.2

σπάνιος (spanios)

(SPAH-nee-oss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — rare, sparing (neuter as adverb here — 'sparingly'; the slot sits beside the name Σπανία by numbering only). Table-manners for friendship: 'bring your foot sparingly to your own friend, lest at any time he be filled of you and hate you' (Proverbs 25:17) — paired in the chapter with the honey-rule two verses earlier: 'eat what is sufficient, lest you be filled and vomit it' (25:16). Even sweet things obey the law of satiety; presence is a portion to be measured. Scripture's realism about welcome is a form of love — seldom set your foot, keep your words few (Ecclesiastes 5:2), and let the friendship breathe; the Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24) is the one exception the rule serves to guard.

sparing
rare

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 25:17 (sparingly bring your foot to your own friend, lest at any time he be filled of you, and should detest you).

G4682.1

σπάργανον (sparganon)

(SPAR-gah-non)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a swaddling-cloth (dative plural here; the slot sits beside σπαράσσω by numbering only). From the foundling's birth-record: 'on the day you were born, your navel was not cut, you were not bathed in water for cleansing, not salted with salt, not swaddled with swaddling-cloths' (Ezekiel 16:4) — the four mercies of a newborn's first hour, all withheld; a child thrown out in the open field, until One passing by said 'Live' (16:5-6). The word's other great scene answers this one: a Son born and 'wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger' (Luke 2:7, 12 — the sign itself) — the LORD who swaddled the abandoned entering swaddling-bands Himself, born under the same first-hour poverty He once pitied (2 Corinthians 8:9).

swaddling-cloth
swaddling-band

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 16:4 (and concerning your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not severed, and in water you were not bathed for safety, nor were you salted with salt, and with swaddling-cloths you were not swaddled).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an emission of seed (from σπέρμα, seed). From the holiness code's boundary-list: the marriage-bed is not to be given to any beast — 'it is detestable' (Leviticus 18:23), one clause in the chapter that fences Israel's body-life off from the practices of Egypt behind and Canaan ahead (18:3, 24-25). The code's logic is creational before it is cultural: seed belongs inside the one-flesh order God made (Genesis 1:27-28; 2:24), and the land itself is said to vomit out its violators (18:25, 28). The chapter's severity guards a glory — the body meant for the Lord, a temple and not a commons (1 Corinthians 6:13, 18-20).

emission of seed
seed-discharge

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 18:23 (and with any four-footed creature you shall not give your marriage-bed for a discharge of semen, to be thoroughly defiled with it; for it is detestable).
