Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — roofed, watertight, under cover (from στέγη, roof; feminine plural here). The LXX's line in the valiant-woman acrostic: 'the occupations of her house are under roof, and the grain of laziness she does not eat' (Proverbs 31:27 — the Hebrew: she watches over the ways of her household and eats not the bread of idleness). Her enterprises are weatherproofed — provisioned against snow (31:21), planned, covered; diligence as a kind of roofing. The figure is Wisdom's own architecture: by wisdom a house is built, and by understanding its rooms are filled (Proverbs 24:3-4; 9:1) — and the household kept under cover is the acrostic's answer to the roving woman earlier in the book (7:11-12).

G4725.1

στέμφυλον (stemphylon)

(STEM-fee-lon)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — grape-pressings, the pomace left after the press (genitive plural here; the slot sits beside στέμμα by numbering only). From the Nazirite rule: 'all the days of his vow, from all that comes from the grapevine — wine, from pressings to grape-stone — he shall not eat' (Numbers 6:3-4). The vow's totality is the teaching: not only wine but the vine's entire product down to skin and seed, a consecration with no negotiated edges (6:8 — 'all the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD'). Devotion drawn this cleanly foreshadows the true Nazirite-vow of the Lord's own table-word: fruit of the vine forgone 'until that day I drink it new in the kingdom of God' (Mark 14:25).

grape-pressings
pomace

Septuagint usage

στενακτός (stenaktos)

(steh-nahk-TOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verbal adjective — bemoaned, to be groaned over (from στενάζω, to groan; feminine here — Jerusalem addressed). From the siege-oracle's sentence: 'you shall be bemoaned and wretched among the nations around you, when I execute judgments in you in anger and rage' (Ezekiel 5:15). The city set at the center of the nations (5:5) to display the LORD's statutes will display His justice instead — a spectacle either way. The groan she becomes is not the last word over her: her Lord groaned over her Himself ('O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,' Matthew 23:37; Luke 19:41), and the mourners are promised a garland for ashes (Isaiah 61:3).

bemoaned
groaned over

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 5:15 (and you will be bemoaned and wretched among the nations round about you, in my executing among you judgments in anger and in rage).

στενῶς (stenōs)

(steh-NOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — narrowly, in a strait (from στενός, narrow — the gate-word of Matthew 7:13-14). Israel under Philistine pressure: 'the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait... and the people hid in caves, and thickets, and rocks, and pits, and cisterns' (1 Samuel 13:6) — the army evaporating underground while Saul, squeezed by the same narrowness, forces the sacrifice that costs him the kingdom (13:8-14). The identical strait sorts two men: Saul's narrowness breeds unlawful action; Jonathan's breeds the theology of the outnumbered — 'nothing hinders the LORD from saving by many or by few' (1 Samuel 14:6). The pressure is the test; the difference is where each looks (2 Chronicles 20:12).

narrowly
in a strait

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 13:6 (and the man of Israel beheld that they were in a strait, so as to not lead forward; and the people hid in the caves, and in the lairs, and in the rocks, and in the excavations, and in the pits).

G4730.3

στένωσις (stenōsis)

(steh-NO-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a narrowing, straitness, constriction (from στενός, narrow). From the Damascus oracle: 'Damascus was enfeebled, she turned to flight, trembling seized her; straitness and pangs took hold of her as a woman in travail' (Jeremiah 49:24). The prophets' standard gauge for inescapable distress is labor — a narrowing that cannot be reasoned with or rescheduled (Isaiah 13:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:3). Yet the same figure carries the canon's hope: travail is the pain that ends in birth, the grief that turns to joy no one takes away (John 16:21-22; Romans 8:22-23) — the difference between Damascus's pangs and Zion's is what is being born (Isaiah 66:7-9).

straitness
constriction

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 49:24 (Damascus was enfeebled; she was turned to flight; trembling took hold of her; straitness and grief constrained her as one being in travail).

G4730.4

στερεοκάρδιος (stereokardios)

(steh-reh-o-KAR-dee-oss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — solid-hearted, hard-hearted (στερεός, solid, + καρδία, heart). The second half of Ezekiel's audience-profile: 'sons hard-faced and hard-hearted — I am sending you to them' (Ezekiel 2:4). Face and heart, surface and core, both petrified — and the commission stands anyway: 'whether they hear or refuse, they shall know that a prophet has been among them' (2:5). The book that opens with stone hearts closes the diagnosis with the only cure in the canon: 'I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh' (Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26) — the transplant no preaching performs and every preaching awaits (2 Corinthians 3:3).

hard-hearted
stone-hearted

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 2:4 (and sons harsh and hard-hearted — I shall send you to them; and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD).

στερέω (stereō)

(steh-REH-oh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb (cf. ἀποστερέω, G650, to defraud); to deprive, withhold, bereave. Jacob's anguished disclaimer to Rachel ("am I in God's place, who deprived you of the fruit of the womb?") — answered across the psalter by its great negation: "the LORD will not deprive of good things those who walk in innocence."

to deprive, withhold from
to bereave

Septuagint usage

7 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 30:2 (am I in the place of God, who deprived you of the fruit of the womb? — Jacob to Rachel); Psalm 21:2 (You gave him his soul's desire, and did not deprive him of the request of his lips); Psalm 78:30 (they were not deprived of their desire — the food still in their mouths when the wrath rose); Psalm 84:11 (the LORD will not deprive of good things those who go in innocence).

(steh-RIS-ko)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to deprive, rob of (the slot sits beside στερέωμα by numbering only). The solitary miser's audit: 'there is one alone, without a second — no son, no brother; no end to all his toil, nor is his eye satisfied with riches. For whom do I toil, and deprive my soul of goodness?' (Ecclesiastes 4:8). The Preacher catches acquisitiveness in its own ledger: gain without a beneficiary, industry that starves the worker. The question 'for whom?' is the sermon — answered badly by the barn-builder ('whose will these things be?', Luke 12:20) and well by the open hand (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; 1 Timothy 6:17-19): the soul is fed by what it shares, robbed by what it hoards (Proverbs 11:24-25).

to deprive
to rob of

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ecclesiastes 4:8 (and there is no limit to all his effort, and indeed his eye is not satisfied of riches; and saying, For whom do I make an effort, and deprive my soul of goodness?).

στηθοδεσμίς (stēthodesmis)

(stee-tho-des-MEES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a breastband, the bride's chest-sash (στῆθος, breast, + δεσμός, band). The unforgettable-forgotten argument: 'will a bride forget her bridal ornament, or a virgin her breastband? But my people have forgotten me days without number' (Jeremiah 2:32). No bride has ever needed a reminder to wear her wedding things; adornment is remembered by love, not by discipline — which measures the scandal: Israel's God is her ornament, and she forgot Him for uncounted days (Deuteronomy 32:18; Psalm 106:21). The restoration reverses the figure exactly: 'as a bridegroom decks himself... and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels' (Isaiah 61:10) — the forgotten One becomes the wardrobe (Revelation 21:2).

breastband
bridal sash

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 2:32 (will the bride forget her bridal ornament, and the virgin her breastband? But my people forgot me for days of which there is no number).

12 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 29:26 (take the breast of Aaron's consecration ram and wave it before the Lord); Leviticus 7:30 (the breast, to wave it as a wave offering); Leviticus 7:34 (the wave-breast and heave-thigh I have given to Aaron and his sons — perpetual); Leviticus 8:29.

G4739

στηλόω (stēloō)

(stee-LO-oh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb from στήλη (standing stone, pillar); to set up as a pillar — to station, erect a monument, fix as a mark. David's lament opens with it ("Set up a monument, O Israel, for the slain upon your heights"), the indictment of Samaria uses it for the pillars on every high hill, and Lamentations turns it inward: "He set me up as a target for the arrow."

to set up (a pillar, monument)

Septuagint usage

7 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Samuel 1:19 (set up a monument, O Israel, for the ones slain upon your heights — how the mighty have fallen); 1 Samuel 17:16 (the Philistine drew near morning and evening and stationed himself forty days — Goliath); 2 Kings 17:10 (they set up for themselves pillars and Asherim on every high hill); Lamentations 3:12 (He bent His bow and set me up as a target for the arrow).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a standing pillar, upright stock (from στήλη, pillar; the slot sits beside στήκω by numbering only). The last clause of Isaiah's commission — after the deafening, the desolation, the tenth burned again: 'as a terebinth, and as an acorn when it falls from its casing — the holy seed is its pillar' (Isaiah 6:13). The felled tree's stump still stands structural; the burned nation's future rides in one seed. This clause is the book's load-bearing beam: from the stock comes the shoot of Jesse (Isaiah 11:1), from the seed the Servant's offspring (53:10; Galatians 3:16), and the remnant-doctrine gets its architecture — cut down to a pillar, not to nothing (Romans 11:5).

pillar
standing stock

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 6:13 (as a terebinth tree, and as an acorn whenever it should fall from out of its casing — the holy seed is its pillar).

G4739.6

στήριγμα (stērigma)

(STEE-reegh-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun from στηρίζω (G4741, to fix firmly, establish); support, stay, prop. Chiefly in the judgment idiom "to break the support of bread" — famine as the removal of what props life up — and once of grace: the remnant given "a support in His holy place."

support, stay, prop
the staff (support) of bread

Septuagint usage

9 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalm 105:16 (He called famine on the land; every support of bread He broke — the famine that sent Joseph ahead); Ezekiel 4:16 (behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem); Ezekiel 14:13 (the land that sins — I will break its support of bread); Ezra 9:8 (grace to leave us a remnant and give us a support in His holy place).

G4741.1

στιβαρός (stibaros)

(stee-vah-ROSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — thick, heavy, dense (here of speech — 'heavy of tongue'; the slot sits beside στηρίζω by numbering only). From the commission's sharpest sentence: you are not sent 'to many peoples of foreign speech or foreign tongue, nor heavy of tongue, whose words you cannot understand — yet if I had sent you to such, they would have listened to you' (Ezekiel 3:6). The mission-field irony stated by God Himself: the unintelligible foreigner would have heard; the covenant people, who understand every word, will not (3:7). The Lord files the same brief — Tyre and Sidon would have repented (Matthew 11:21), Nineveh did (Jonah 3:5; Luke 11:32) — privilege hardens where grace is presumed (Romans 2:4-5).

heavy (of tongue)
thick, dense

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 3:6 (nor to many peoples of foreign languages or foreign tongues, nor being dense in tongue, whose words you hear not; but if I sent you to such, these would have listened to you).

G4741.2

στιβαρῶς (stibarōs)

(stee-vah-ROSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — heavily, thickly, densely (from στιβαρός, thick — see the sibling entry above). From the first woe of Habakkuk's taunt-song: 'shall not all these take up a parable against him... Woe to the one multiplying to himself what is not his — how long? — and weighting his own collar heavily' (Habakkuk 2:6). The LXX's image turns extortion inward: every seized load is riveted to the seizer's own neck; the plunderer is building his yoke. The taunt's mechanism is exact — 'because you plundered many nations, the remnant of peoples shall plunder you' (2:8) — the boomerang justice Scripture calls sowing and reaping (Galatians 6:7; Proverbs 22:16), against which stands one light burden and one easy yoke (Matthew 11:29-30).

heavily
densely

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Habakkuk 2:6 (woe, the one multiplying to himself the things not being his — how long? — even the one oppressing his collar densely).

G4741.3

στίβι (stibi)

(STEE-vee)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — antimony, kohl — the black eye-paint of the ancient boudoir. The doomed coquetry of Jerusalem under invasion: 'and you, what will you do? Though you clothe yourself in scarlet, adorn yourself with gold, though you rub antimony on your eyes — in vain is your beautifying; your lovers have thrust you away; they seek your life' (Jeremiah 4:30). Painting for the very powers that are marching to kill her: the politics of seduction pursued past all evidence. The kohl-pot's other famous scene ends the same way — Jezebel painted her eyes for Jehu and was thrown from the window (2 Kings 9:30-33). Beauty spent courting killers is the Bible's picture of misplaced trust (Hosea 2:5, 13).

antimony
kohl eye-paint

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 4:30 (though you should put on scarlet, and be adorned with an ornament of gold, and though you should rub antimony on your eyes, your finery is in vain; your lovers thrust you away, they seek your life).

στιμίζω (stimizō)

(stee-MID-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to paint the eyes with antimony, tinge with kohl (στίμμι, antimony; the ABP groups the by-spelling στιβίζω under the same number — both forms are cited below). The canon's two painted seductions: Jezebel tinging her eyes to face Jehu at the window, and Oholibah adorning herself for her lovers in Ezekiel's allegory.

to paint the eyes
to tinge with antimony

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 9:30 (Jehu came into Jezreel — and Jezebel heard, and tinged her eyes with antimony, and adorned her head, and looked out through the window); Ezekiel 23:40 (to the men coming from afar — for whom you bathed, tinged your eyes with antimony, and adorned yourself with ornament).

Definition

a mark pricked in or branded upon the body

G4743

στιγμή (stigmḗ)

στικτός (stiktos)

(stik-TOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verbal adjective — pricked in, tattooed (from στίζω, to prick — kin to στίγμα; neuter plural here with 'letters' — 'tattooed letters'). From the holiness code: 'you shall not make cuts on your body for a dead soul, and tattooed letters you shall not make upon you: I am the LORD your God' (Leviticus 19:28). The skin is not parchment for the claims of the dead or of other lords; Israel's body already had an owner, and His name was its identity (Deuteronomy 14:1-2). The counter-writing runs through the canon: 'one shall write on his hand, The LORD's' (Isaiah 44:5), the sealed foreheads of the servants (Revelation 7:3), and Paul's scars — 'I bear in my body the marks of Jesus' (Galatians 6:17).

tattooed
pricked-in marks

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 19:28 (and you shall not make cuts for a dead soul on your body; and letter marks you shall not make upon you: I am the LORD your God).

G4743.2

στιλβόω (stilboō)

(stil-VO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to burnish, polish bright (causative of στίλβω, to gleam — the verb of the transfiguration garments, Mark 9:3). The armory of the warning-psalm: 'if you do not turn, he will polish his broadsword; he has bent his bow and made it ready' (Psalm 7:12). The conditional is the mercy: the sword is being burnished, not yet swung — maintenance as ultimatum, the interval named 'if you turn.' Divine patience is real but it is armed patience (Deuteronomy 32:41; Isaiah 27:1); the psalm begs the sinner to read the polishing correctly, as Peter reads the delay — 'the Lord is not slow... but patient, not wishing that any should perish' (2 Peter 3:9).

to burnish
to polish bright

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 7:12 (if you should not turn, he will brighten his broadsword; he stretched tight his bow, and he prepared it).

G4744

(stee-KHEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to set in rows, align in rank (from στοῖχος, row — kin to στοιχέω, to walk in line, Galatians 5:25). From the temple-tour's drafting language: the chambers 'diagrammed like the gates of the inner court and like the peristyles of the outer court, set in rows facing one another — three-tiered stoas' (Ezekiel 42:3). The vision is drawn to survey-grade: rows, ranks, facing alignments, every cubit measured (42:15-20), because the design itself preaches — 'declare to the house of Israel the house, that they may be ashamed... and keep its whole design' (Ezekiel 43:10-11). A God of ordered rows in architecture orders His people's walk the same way (1 Corinthians 14:40).

to set in rows
to align in rank

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 42:3 (being diagramed in the manner of the gates of the inner courtyard, and in the manner of the peristyles of the outer courtyard, set in rows facing — three-rank stoas).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb from στολή (G4749, robe) — to robe. Esther's reversal runs on it: the sackcloth Mordecai will not exchange, the enemy compelled to robe him through the square — and at last Mordecai "robed in royal apparel," the city of Susa rejoicing.

to robe, clothe in a robe

Septuagint usage

5 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezra 3:10 (the priests robed, with trumpets, praising as the foundation is laid); Esther 4:4 (garments sent to robe Mordecai — he will not put off the sackcloth); Esther 6:11 (Haman robes Mordecai and leads him through the city square); Esther 8:15 (Mordecai goes out from the king robed in royal blue and white — and Susa rejoices).

στολισμός (stolismos)

(sto-lis-MOS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — attire, apparel, uniform (from στολή, robe). Splendor observed and holiness guarded: the queen of Sheba breathless at the attire of Solomon's ministers, and the visionary temple's rule that the priests lay aside their ministering garments before going out to the people.

attire
uniform

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 9:4 (the queen of Sheba saw the wisdom of Solomon, the house he built, the foods of his tables, the seats of his servants, the standing of his ministers and their attire — and she was beside herself); Ezekiel 42:14 (when the priests enter, they shall not go forth from the holy place into the outer courtyard until they lay aside their garments of ministry, for they are holy — and they shall put on other garments whenever they touch the people).

G4749.3

στολιστής (stolistēs)

(sto-lis-TEES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a keeper of the wardrobe, vestment-master (from στολή, robe). From Jehu's terrible liturgy: 'Jehu said to him who was over the wardrobe, Bring out garments for all the servants of Baal — and the wardrobe-keeper brought them out' (2 Kings 10:22). Baal's cult had a vestry and a vesting officer; the robes identified the worshipers — and became their shroud, for the identification was the trap (10:23-25). Vestments preach allegiance in either direction: the harlot's scarlet, the saints' white (Revelation 17:4; 19:8). The question the wardrobe-keeper's office poses is only ever whose robe one wears (Zechariah 3:3-5; Matthew 22:11-12).

wardrobe-keeper
vestment-master

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Kings 10:22 (and Jehu told the one over the house wardrobe to bring out garments for all the servants of Baal; and the keeper of the wardrobe brought them forth to them).

στοχάζομαι (stochazomai)

(sto-KHAH-zo-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to aim at, take careful thought for, survey (from στόχος, target; the slot sits beside στόμαχος by numbering only). The refuge-road ordinance: 'take thought for yourself of the way — you shall divide into three parts the borders of your land... and there shall be refuge there for every manslayer' (Deuteronomy 19:3). Israel is commanded to engineer mercy's logistics: roads surveyed, distances tripled-sectioned, signage implied — so that when blood-vengeance runs, grace is never the farther journey (19:6). The verse carries the campaign's own refuge-word, καταφυγή; and the road-maintenance of mercy is the gospel's figure for itself: a way opened, marked, and kept — 'we who have fled for refuge' (Hebrews 6:18; Isaiah 62:10).

to take thought for
to survey, aim

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 19:3 (take thought to yourself of the way, and you shall make three parts of the boundaries of your land... and it will be there for a refuge to every man-slayer).

στοχαστής (stochastēs)

(sto-khahs-TEES)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a diviner by conjecture, augur, 'thinker' (agent noun of στοχάζομαι, to aim, guess — see the sibling entry above). From the prop-removal oracle: the LORD takes away from Jerusalem 'the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, and the diviner and the elder' (Isaiah 3:1-2) — every load-bearing figure, legitimate and illegitimate alike, until boys govern and the ruin is complete (3:4-8). The conjecturer is listed among the props: a society leaning on educated guesswork is leaning on air (Isaiah 8:19-20). The judgment of removed leadership has one reversal — the Child on whose shoulder government finally rests (Isaiah 9:6).

diviner
conjecturer

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 3:2 (the giant and the one prevailing, and a man warrior, and magistrate, and prophet, and thinker, and old man).

G4751.3

στραγγαλιά (strangalia)

(strang-gah-lee-AH)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a knot, twisted binding; figuratively, perversity and the strangling clauses of unjust contracts. In the psalm those who turn aside 'unto the knots' are led away with the workers of lawlessness; in Isaiah 58 the fast God chooses is precisely this word's undoing — "untie the knots of contracts made by force."

knot
twisted binding

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 125:5 (the ones turning aside unto the knots — the LORD shall lead them away with the ones working lawlessness; peace be upon Israel); Isaiah 58:6 ("not such a fast have I chosen, says the LORD — but untie every knot of injustice, undo the twists of forced dealings, send away the broken with forgiveness, and tear apart every unjust writ").

G4751.4

στραγγαλιώδης (strangaliōdēs)

(strang-gah-lee-O-dees)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — knotted, tortuous, insidious (from στραγγαλιά, a knot, strangling-twist). Wisdom's speech-audit of herself: 'all the sayings of my mouth are with righteousness; nothing in them is crooked or knotted' (Proverbs 8:8) — no clause that tightens on the reader later, no fine print, no noose in the syntax. The claim is unique; every other voice in the book has knots somewhere (the seductress's smooth opening, Proverbs 7:21; the fine-print oppression Isaiah calls 'strangling bonds,' Isaiah 58:6). Incarnate Wisdom kept the audit — 'no deceit was found in his mouth' (1 Peter 2:22) — and His yes is yes (Matthew 5:37; 2 Corinthians 1:19-20).

knotted
insidious

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 8:8 (all the sayings of my mouth are with righteousness; nothing in them is crooked nor insidious).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to wring out, drain drop by drop (from the στραγγ- stem, to squeeze in a twist). From the bird burnt-offering rubric: 'the priest shall bring it to the altar, and pluck off its head, and place it on the altar, and he shall wring out the blood at the base of the altar' (Leviticus 1:15). A dove has no blood to dash from basins; its whole offering is a handful — so the rite is scaled to the gift: wrung, not splashed, and yet the same altar-base receives it as receives the bull's (1:5, 15). The poor man's drops count as whole atonement — the widow's-mite principle written into the sacrificial system itself (Mark 12:43-44; Luke 2:24).

to wring out
to drain drop by drop

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 1:15 (and the priest shall bring it to the altar, and shall pluck off its head, and shall place it upon the altar, and he shall wring out the blood to the base of the altar).

The cry is the fulfillment: Micaiah had seen 'all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd — let each return to his house in peace' (22:17). Four hundred prophets promised victory; the herald at dusk proclaims the one dissenting word came true (22:28; Deuteronomy 18:22).

The memorial-stones order: 'take up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, from the station of the priests' feet... and put them in your encampment where you camp tonight' (Joshua 4:3). Stones from the impossible place — the dry riverbed under the arrested waters — carried into the ordinary place, the campsite, expressly for the children's question: 'What are these stones to you?' (4:6-7, 21-24). Memory is architecture in Israel: grace's crossings are quarried and kept where the next generation eats and sleeps (Deuteronomy 6:7, 20; 1 Peter 2:5).

encampment

Noun — gristle, tough sinew — the unchewable bit (the slot sits beside στρῆνος by numbering only). From Zophar's portrait of ill-gotten wealth: 'for empty and vain things he wearied himself for riches of which he shall not taste — it is as gristle, unchewable, unswallowable' (Job 20:18). The speech's digestive imagery is relentless: sweetness hidden under the tongue turning to asp's venom within, riches swallowed and vomited up, God emptying the belly (20:12-15). Wrongful gain is food the body cannot process — 'bread of deceit is sweet to a man, but afterward his mouth is filled with gravel' (Proverbs 20:17): true of the wicked even when Zophar misfiles Job among them.

gristle
unchewable toughness

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 20:18 (for empty and vain things he tired for riches, of which he shall not taste; it is as if tough, unchewable, and impotable).

Noun — a rounding — the circular barricade, the wagon-ring of a camp (from στρογγύλος, round; rendering the Hebrew's entrenchment-circle). The errand-boy's arrival: 'David rose early, left the sheep with a keeper, took the provisions as Jesse commanded, and came to the ring-barricade as the army was going out to the battle line' (1 Samuel 17:20). He reaches the perimeter exactly as the war-shout goes up — logistics timed by providence: cheese-delivery at the front line, forty days into the taunting (17:16-18), puts the one unarmored believer within earshot of the challenge no soldier would take (17:23-26).

From Assyria's boast: 'the whole world I took in my hand as a nest, and as abandoned eggs I lifted it away — and there was none to escape me or contradict me, none opening a mouth and chirping' (Isaiah 10:14). Empire's self-portrait: plundering earth as easily as robbing a nest too frightened to peep. The next verse hands down the verdict — 'shall the axe boast against him who hews with it?' (10:15) — and the sparrow-image has an owner: not one falls to the ground apart from your Father (Matthew 10:29-31); the silenced peep is heard at the throne (Psalm 102:7; Exodus 3:7).

to chirp
to peep

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 10:14 (and there is no one who shall evade me or contradict me, even opening a mouth and chirping).

Noun — a turning, twist — here of language: the turns of words (from στρέφω, to turn; accusative plural in the verse). From the prologue's syllabus: Proverbs exists 'to receive the turnings of words and the solutions of enigmas, to understand true righteousness and to set judgment straight' (Proverbs 1:2-3 LXX). Wisdom trains for verbal terrain — riddles, dark sayings, the proverb's deliberate twist (1:6) — because truth in a fallen world must survive cross-examination. The Master of the form answered every trap with a turn that ended the questioning — 'and no one was able to answer him a word' (Matthew 22:15-22, 46; Colossians 4:6).

turning of words

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a hinge, pivot (from στρέφω, to turn). The sluggard's kinematics: 'as a door turns upon the hinge, so the lazy one upon his bed' (Proverbs 26:14). The satire is mechanical: a hinge moves constantly and goes nowhere — motion without translation, activity without progress. The sluggard has his exercises (the tossing, the excuses about lions in the street, 26:13; the hand buried in the dish, 26:15), all pivoting on a fixed point. Scripture's cure is observational before it is exhortational: 'go to the ant... a little sleep, a little slumber' (Proverbs 6:6-11); the redeemed use of time swings the door open (Ephesians 5:14-16).

hinge
pivot

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 26:14 (as a door turns upon the hinge, so the lazy one upon his bed).

G4765.5

στροφωτός (strophōtos)

(stro-fo-TOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — turning, pivoted, hung on pivots (from στρέφω, to turn; of door-leaves). From the temple-vision's joinery: 'two doorways to the nave, and to the holy place two doorways — two doorways with turning leaves, two leaves to each' (Ezekiel 41:23-24). The drawings descend to hinge-work: double doors, each with two folding panels, carved with cherubim and palm trees (41:25) — the same iconography as the walls, so that even the moving parts preach Eden's keepers. Doors that turn are doors made to open: the vision's access-architecture awaits the One who says 'I am the door' (John 10:9) and sets before His people a door no one can shut (Revelation 3:8).

pivoted
with turning leaves

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 41:23 (and there were two doorways to the temple, and to the holy place two doorways — to the two doorways with the turnings).

G4765.6

στρῶμα (strōma)

(STRO-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — bedding, a mattress (from στρώννυμι, to spread — the verb of the strewn upper room, Mark 14:15). The surety-warning's last line: 'do not give yourself as guarantor... for if you have nothing to pay, they shall take the bedding from under your sides' (Proverbs 22:26-27). Debt's reach measured in furniture: the pledge-taker comes for the mattress itself. Torah had already drawn mercy's line at exactly this point — a cloak taken in pledge returns by sundown, 'for it is his only covering; in what else shall he sleep? And when he cries to me, I will hear, for I am compassionate' (Exodus 22:26-27; Deuteronomy 24:12-13). Where commerce would strip the bed, God's law tucks the poor man in.

bedding
mattress

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 22:27 (for if you should not have from any place to pay, they shall take the bedding under your sides).

στρώννυμι (strṓnnymi)

(strone'-noo-mee | STRONE-noo-mee | STRONE-nyoo-mee)

Definition

prolongation from a still simpler στρόω, (used only as an alternate in certain tenses) (probably akin to G4731 through the idea of positing); to "strew," i.e., spread (as a carpet or couch); make bed, furnish, spread, strew.

to spread
furnish
to spread with couches or divans

G4767

στυγνητός (stygnētós)

στυγνός (stygnos)

(steeg-NOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — gloomy, sullen, downcast (base of στυγνάζω — the rich ruler's verb: 'he was saddened at the saying,' Mark 10:22). The diagnosis before the great healing-promise: 'for a little sin I grieved him and struck him and turned my face away — and he was grieved, and went gloomy in his ways' (Isaiah 57:17). Chastisement produced sulking, not returning: the gloomy walk is impenitence wearing mourning clothes. Then the verse the gospel lives in: 'I have seen his ways — and I will heal him... Peace, peace, to the far and to the near' (Isaiah 57:18-19; Ephesians 2:17). When repentance fails to appear, grace operates anyway — healing granted to the undeserving gloom it has watched all along.

gloomy
sullen

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 57:17 (I grieved him, and I struck him, and I turned my face from him; and he was grieved, and went gloomy in his ways).

(steep-PEE-ee-nos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of tow or hemp, hempen (from στυππεῖον, tow — coarse flax fiber). The leprosy-laws' fabric word: the garment of wool, linen, or hemp in which the mark of the infection appears, examined, condemned, or washed clean by the priest.

of hemp
of tow

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 13:47 (a garment in which there is the infection of leprosy — in a garment of wool, or in a garment made of hemp); Leviticus 13:59 (this is the law of the infection of leprosy of a garment of wool or made of hemp, or warp or woof, or any item of skins — to pronounce it clean or unclean).

G4769.2

στιππύον (stippyon)

(steep-PEE-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — tow, the coarse fiber of flax or hemp. The snap-word of Samson's bonds — ropes become as fire-touched tow — and Isaiah's end for the strong: "the strong shall be as tow, and his work as a spark."

tow
flax-fiber

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 15:14 (the Spirit of the LORD rushed upon him — and the ropes on his arms became as tow burned with fire, and his bonds melted from his hands); Judges 16:9 (he snapped the bowstrings as a strand of tow snaps when it smells fire — and his strength was not known); Isaiah 1:31 (the strong shall be as tow, and their work as a spark — and both shall burn together, with none to quench).

G4769.3

στυράκινος (styrakinos)

(stee-RAH-kee-noss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of storax-wood (from στύραξ, the storax tree; the slot sits beside στῦλος by numbering only). Jacob's husbandry-scheme: 'Jacob took for himself a rod of green storax, and of walnut, and of plane, and peeled white streaks in them' and set them at the watering troughs (Genesis 30:37-38). The peeled rods are folk-genetics — and the narrative quietly withholds endorsement, for Jacob himself later confesses the true mechanism: 'God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me' — shown him in a dream of the flocks (Genesis 31:9-12). Man plots with sticks; God runs the genetics; the increase belonged to grace all along (Psalm 127:1-2; 1 Corinthians 3:7).

of storax-wood
storax rod

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 30:37 (and Jacob took to himself a rod of green poplar, and of walnut, and of the plane tree; and Jacob peeled them into white strips, tearing away the green).

G4773.1

συγγίνομαι (synginomai)

(seeng-GHEE-no-my)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be with; euphemistically, to lie with. The word stands at two doors: the men of Sodom demanding Lot's visitors that they might 'be intimate with them,' and Joseph refusing day by day 'to be intimate with' Potiphar's wife — the same verb, the city's sin and the servant's faithfulness.

to be with
to lie with

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 19:5 (the men of Sodom called out to Lot — "where are the men who entered to you this night? Lead them out to us, that we may be intimate with them"); Genesis 39:10 (whenever she spoke to Joseph day by day, he did not obey her — to sleep with her, to be intimate with her).

G4774.1

συγγραφή (syngraphē)

(seeng-grah-FEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a written contract, writ, bond (σύν + γράφω). Job wishes his accuser's charge were a writ he could carry on his shoulder; and in Isaiah 58 the true fast tears the unjust writ apart — debt-paper as the instrument of oppression, and its destruction as worship.

writ
written bond

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 31:35 ("who will grant a hearing for me? If I did not fear the hand of the LORD — as to a writ which I had against anyone, placing it on my shoulders as a crown, I would read it"); Isaiah 58:6 (the fast the LORD chooses — untie every knot of injustice, and tear apart every unjust writ).

συγκαθυφαίνω (synkathyphainō)

(seen-kah-thee-FEH-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to interweave together (σύν, together, + κατά + ὑφαίνω, to weave; perfect passive here — 'interwoven'). From the wardrobe-audit of the daughters of Zion: 'the fine linens, and the blue, and the scarlet, and the linen interwoven with gold and blue, and the gauzy couch-coverings' (Isaiah 3:23) — one line in a twenty-item inventory of finery (3:18-23) marked for removal: 'instead of perfume, dust; instead of a sash, a rope' (3:24). The same gold-thread weaving vocabulary is sacred elsewhere — gold beaten and cut into threads 'to interweave with the blue and the purple' of the ephod (Exodus 39:3): the craft is not condemned, the trust is. Adornment is safest where Peter relocates it — the hidden person of the heart (1 Peter 3:3-4).

to interweave
woven together with

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 3:23 (and the fine linens, and the ones of blue, and scarlet, and the linen being interwoven with gold and blue, and the lightweight coverings for divans).

Septuagint usage

8 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 31:40 (by day the burning heat consumed me, and the frost by night — Jacob's service); Psalm 121:6 (by day the sun shall not scorch you, nor the moon by night); Isaiah 9:19 (through the rage of the LORD the whole land is burned up); Jonah 4:8 (the sun scorched upon Jonah's head, and he despaired of life).

συγκάλυμμα (synkalymma)

(seeng-KAH-lee-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a covering; the 'skirt' of the father's garment (σύν + κάλυμμα, veil). Both occurrences are the same prohibition — "he shall not uncover his father's covering" — the marriage-bed of the father shielded by law and curse alike.

covering
the father's skirt

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 22:30 (a man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's marriage veil); Deuteronomy 27:20 ("cursed is the one bedding with his father's wife, for he uncovered his father's marriage veil" — and all the people shall say, "may it be").

G4783.1

συγκατακληρονομέω (synkataklēronomeō)

(seen-kah-tah-klee-ro-no-MEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to inherit together with, take allotment jointly (σύν, with, + κατακληρονομέω, to allot as inheritance; kin to συγκληρονόμος, joint-heir). Moses' terms for Reuben and Gad: if they will not cross the Jordan armed with their brothers, forfeiting the east bank, 'they shall inherit together with you in the land of Canaan' (Numbers 32:30) — either way, inheritance and warfare stay joined. 'Shall your brothers go to war while you sit here?' (32:6) is the chapter's abiding question; rest is not taken separately from the body (Hebrews 4:9-11 held with 10:24-25). The compound's family ends in the gospel's boldest legal phrase: heirs of God, joint-heirs with Christ — if indeed we suffer with him (Romans 8:17).

to inherit jointly
to take allotment together

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 32:30 (but if they should not pass over armed with you for the war before the LORD... they shall inherit together with you in the land of Canaan).

G4783.2

συγκαταμίγνυμι (synkatamignymi)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to mix together with, mingle among (σύν + κατά + μίγνυμι, to mix). From Joshua's farewell: 'if you turn away and cleave to the remnant of these nations, and make marriages with them, and mix together with them, and they with you — know that the LORD will no longer drive them out; they shall be snares and traps, whips in your sides and thorns in your eyes' (Joshua 23:12-13). The warned mixture is covenantal, not ethnic — Rahab and Ruth enter the line of promise by faith (Joshua 6:25; Ruth 1:16) — what cannot be blended is worship (Exodus 34:12-16). The church inherits the chemistry lesson: what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 1 Kings 11:1-4).

to mingle with
to mix together

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 23:12 (and if you should make connections by marriage with them, and mix together with them, and they with you).

G4784

συγκατεσθίω (synkatesthiō)

(seen-kah-tes-THEE-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to devour together, consume along with (σύν + κατεσθίω, to devour). Sin's combustion physics: 'lawlessness shall burn as fire; as dry wild-grass it shall be consumed by fire, and shall burn in the thickets of the forest, and devour together everything around the hills' (Isaiah 9:18). Wickedness is self-kindling — no external torch required — and it spreads by consuming: the next verses show a people become the fuel, 'no man sparing his brother,' each devouring the flesh of his own arm (9:19-20). The wildfire's social form is named in the epistles: 'if you bite and devour one another, watch out that you are not consumed by one another' (Galatians 5:15; James 3:5-6).

to devour together
to consume along with

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 9:18 (and lawlessness shall burn as fire, and as dry wild grass it shall be devoured by fire, and shall be burnt in the thickets of the grove, and shall devour together all the things round about the hills).

G4784.2

συγκαταφέρομαι (synkatapheromai)

(seen-kah-tah-FEH-ro-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be carried down together, rush down with (σύν + κατά + φέρω; feminine participle here with the storm). The theophany against Assyria: 'the LORD will make the glory of his voice audible, and show the fury of his arm — with fury and anger and devouring flame; he shall strike violently with the thunderbolt, as water and hail carried down together by force' (Isaiah 30:30). And the strangest note in the arsenal: every stroke of the appointed rod falls 'with tambourines and harps' (30:31-32) — judgment on the oppressor is deliverance-music to the oppressed, a Passover-night gladness (30:29). The voice that shatters cedars (Psalm 29:3-9) is the same voice the flock knows and follows (John 10:4, 27).

to rush down together
to be carried down with

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 30:30 (and he shall strike with a thunderbolt violently, even as water and hail being carried together by force).

G4785

συγκαταψηφίζω (synkatapsēphízō)

(soong-kat-aps-ay-fid'-zo | soong-ka-ta-psay-FEE-zoh | syoong-ka-ta-psay-FEE-zoh)

Definition

from G4862 and a compound of G2596 and G5585; to count down in company with, i.e., enroll among; number with.

to vote against with others, i.e., to condemn with others

G4785.1

συγκατοικέω (synkatoikeō)

(seen-kah-tee-KEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to dwell together with (σύν + κατοικέω, to dwell; the ABP prints the form συκατοικής). Israel's one shrewd moment in the Gibeonite affair: 'perhaps you dwell among us — how then shall we make a covenant with you?' (Joshua 9:7). The right question, asked and then abandoned: taken in by moldy bread and worn sandals, 'they did not ask counsel at the mouth of the LORD' (9:14). Yet the story's second lesson outweighs the first: the oath, once sworn, is kept even to Israel's cost (9:19-20; Psalm 15:4), and the deceivers are drawn into sanctuary service — woodcutters and water-carriers 'for the altar of the LORD' (9:27) — grace annexing even a con into the covenant's orbit.

to dwell together with
to live among

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 9:7 (look, perhaps you dwell together with me — and how do we ordain a covenant with you?).

G4785.2

σύγκειμαι (synkeimai)

(SEEN-kee-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to lie together, be leagued, conspire (σύν, together, + κεῖμαι, to lie). Saul under the tamarisk, spear in hand: 'you have all conspired against me, and there is none who uncovers my ear when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse... none of you grieves for me' (1 Samuel 22:8). The speech reads paranoia into loyalty — Jonathan's covenant was with the LORD's anointed, not against the throne — and it births the chapter's atrocity: Doeg and the massacre of the priests of Nob (22:18-19). Suspicion armed is the persecutor's engine; David, the actual target, answers it in psalm — 'they scheme together against me... but I trust in you, O LORD' (Psalm 31:13-14).

to conspire
to be leagued together

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Samuel 22:8 (for you are all situated together against me, and there is not one uncovering my ear, in that my son ordains a covenant with the son of Jesse).

G4786.1

συγκερατίζομαι (synkeratizomai)

(seen-keh-rah-TEE-zo-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to lock horns with, butt together (σύν, together, + the κέρας stem, horn). The end-vision's collision: 'at the time of the end he shall lock horns with the king of the south, and the king of the north shall gather against him with chariots and horsemen and many ships' (Daniel 11:40). The verb keeps Daniel's zoology consistent — kings are horned beasts, butting as the ram and the goat butted (Daniel 8:4-7), history as a goring-match of empires. The book's fixed counterpoint stands over every collision: a kingdom not left to other people, a dominion given to one like a son of man, which shall not pass away (Daniel 2:44; 7:13-14).

The alloy is the indictment: a covenant people so blended with corruption that only the crucible can tell metal from dross (Isaiah 1:22, 25).
