G5001.1

ταινία (tainia)

(teh-NEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — band, strip, ribbon; here the plank-strips, the sheathing courses of a ship's decking (the slot sits beside τάγμα by numbering only). Tyre's shipwright lament begins in the lumber-yard: Senir cedar for the hull, cypress strips for the decking, Lebanon fir for the mast (Ezekiel 27:5) — the chapter builds the perfect merchant-ship of empire plank by plank in order to sink her in a verse: 'your rowers brought you into great waters; the east wind broke you' (Ezekiel 27:26). The inventory-then-shipwreck form returns for commercial Babylon — 'in one hour so great riches came to nothing' (Revelation 18:17-19). Only one boast survives the sea (Jeremiah 9:23-24).

band
plank-strip

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 27:5 (cedar from Senir was used to build for you; they used strips of cypress planks from Lebanon; fir was taken to make masts for you).

Daniel's office under Darius — one of the three presidents over the satraps, distinguished by an excellent spirit.

official of ordered rank

Septuagint usage

4 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Daniel 6:2 (over the hundred and twenty satraps, three presidents — of whom Daniel was one — that the king might suffer no loss); Daniel 6:4 (the presidents and satraps sought a ground of complaint against Daniel, but could find no error, for he was faithful); Daniel 6:5 ("we shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it in the law of his God"); Daniel 6:6 (the presidents and satraps thronged to the king — the thirty-day petition trap).

G5005.1

ταλαιπώρως (talaipōrōs)

(tah-leh-PO-ross)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — miserably, wretchedly (from ταλαίπωρος, miserable). The Song of Deborah slows Sisera's fall to a single frame: 'between her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay; where he bowed, there he fell — miserably.' The commander who broke Israel ends at a woman's feet, his head crushed by tent-peg and workman's hammer (Judges 5:26), the Genesis 3:15 cadence sounding under the verse. The adverb is the LXX's verdict on the serpent's seed in every age: such a fall is not tragic accident but wretched justice (Psalm 68:21) — until the head-crushing is finished at the cross (Colossians 2:15; Romans 16:20).

miserably
wretchedly

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 5:27 (between her feet he bowed and fell; he slept between her feet; he bent, he fell; in the place where he bent, there he fell miserably).

that which is weighed, a talent
- a weight varying in different places and times

G5007.1

τάλας (talas)

(TAH-lass)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — wretched, miserable ('O wretched me!'; the slot sits beside τάλαντον by numbering only). Isaiah's cry at the sight of the enthroned King: seraphim veiled, doorposts shaking, and the prophet undone — 'O, I am miserable, for I am pierced through; being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips — and I beheld the King, the LORD of Hosts, with my eyes.' Sight of glory produces the confession, and the confession is answered from the altar: a coal touches the unclean lips and the sin is atoned (Isaiah 6:6-7). John rules on whose glory it was: 'Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory' (John 12:41). Paul's 'wretched man that I am' walks the same word-family to the same rescue (Romans 7:24-25).

wretched
miserable

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 6:5 (and I said, O, I am miserable, for I am vexed; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I live in the midst of a people having unclean lips — and I beheld the King, the LORD of Hosts, with my eyes).

G5009

ταμεῖον (tameîon)

(tam-i'-on | ta-MEE-one | ta-MEE-one)

Definition

neuter contraction of a presumed derivative of ταμίας (a dispenser or distributor; akin to τέμνω, to cut); a dispensary or magazine, i.e., a chamber on the ground-floor or interior of a Middle Eastern house (generally used for storage or privacy, a spot for retirement); secret chamber, closet, storehouse.

a storage chamber, storeroom
a chamber especially an inner chamber
a secret room

For the Septuagint (ABP) words at this number, see G5009.1–G5009.3 below.

G5009.1

ταμίας (tamias)

(tah-MEE-ass)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — steward, treasurer, keeper of the stores (kin of ταμεῖον, the storeroom). The office named here is the one being vacated: 'Go in to Shebna the steward' — the self-serving palace treasurer found carving himself a grand tomb (Isaiah 22:16). The oracle strips him and installs Eliakim: 'and I will give the key of the house of David upon his shoulder; he shall open, and none shall shut' (Isaiah 22:20-22) — the investiture the risen Christ claims verbatim, 'the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David' (Revelation 3:7). Stewardship of the house is never freehold (Luke 16:2; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2); the key belongs to the Son over God's house (Hebrews 3:6).

steward
treasurer

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 22:15 (thus says the LORD of Hosts, Go into the cubicle, to Somnan the storekeeper, and say to him).

G5009.2

ταμιεύω (tamieuō)

(tah-mee-EV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to store up, husband, dispense from stores (middle voice here; the same storeroom stock as ταμεῖον). Proverbs' anger-economics: 'the fool brings forth the entirety of his rage; but the wise stores his up in part' — temper under stewardship, spent deliberately or not at all (Proverbs 15:1; 16:32). The proverb is not stoicism but treasury discipline: what the heart holds it manages before God (Proverbs 4:23). James issues the NT edition — slow to wrath, 'for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God' (James 1:19-20) — and Ephesians 4:26-27 sets the storeroom's closing time at sundown.

to store up
to husband

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 29:11 (the fool brings forth the entirety of his rage; but the wise stores his up in part).

G5009.3

τανύω (tanyō)

(tah-NEE-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to stretch out, extend (the surface form is the aorist participle τανύσας; the ABP files it on the ταμεῖον slot by numbering only). Job's doxology of the unanswerable God: 'the one stretching out the heaven alone, and walking on the sea as on a floor.' Two clauses, two divine monopolies — creation's canopy pitched single-handedly ('I stretched out the heaven alone,' Isaiah 44:24), and the sea walked as pavement. When Jesus comes to the disciples walking on the sea and 'meaning to pass by them' (Mark 6:48-49), the scene is Job 9 enacted, down to the passing-by ('if he should pass over me, I should not see him,' Job 9:11). The chapter's ache — no umpire between us (Job 9:33) — is answered by the one mediator (1 Timothy 2:5).

to stretch out
to extend

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 9:8 (the one stretching the heaven alone, and walking upon the sea as upon a floor).

G5010

τάξις (táxis)

(tax'-is | TA-ksees | TA-ksees)

(tap-i-nos' | ta-pee-NOSE | ta-pee-NOSE)

- lowly in spirit, humble
- in a bad sense, deporting one's self abjectly, deferring servilely to others

For the Septuagint (ABP) word at this number, see G5011.1 below.

G5011.1

ταπεινοφρονέω (tapeinophroneō)

(tah-pee-no-fro-NEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be humble-minded, to think lowly of oneself (from ταπεινός, low, + φρήν, mind; the ABP prints the Hebrew's negated-oath idiom as 'unless I was humble-minded'). Psalm 131's weaned-child spirituality: not walking in things too great and too marvelous for me, the soul leveled and quieted 'as the weaned child upon its mother.' The LXX's verb is the NT's humility-word in embryo: the mind-set commanded at Philippians 2:3 (ταπεινοφροσύνη) and exhibited at 2:5-8 by the One who lowered Himself unto death. Entry into the kingdom is by this posture — 'whoever humbles himself as this child' (Matthew 18:4) — and the psalm ends where humility always does: 'let Israel hope in the LORD' (Psalm 131:3).

to be humble-minded
to think lowly

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 131:2 (unless I was humble-minded, but exalted my soul — as the one being weaned upon his mother, so will you recompense my soul).

G5012

ταπεινοφροσύνη (tapeinophrosýnē)

(tap-i-nof-ros-oo'-nay | ta-pee-noh-froh-SOO-nay | ta-pee-noh-froh-SYOO-nay)

Definition

from a compound of G5011 and the base of G5424; humiliation of mind, i.e., modesty; humbleness of mind, humility (of mind, loneliness (of mind).

the having a humble opinion of one's self
a deep sense of one's (moral) littleness
modesty, humility, lowliness of mind

G5012.1

ταπεινόφρων (tapeinophrōn)

(tah-pee-NO-frone)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — humble-minded (from ταπεινός, low, + φρήν, mind; accusative plural here). Proverbs' see-saw of glory: 'insolence abases a man, but the LORD establishes the humble-minded in glory' — the ABP's ερείδει, props them firm. The LXX's Greek supplies the very adjective Peter hands the churches — 'be humble-minded' (1 Peter 3:8) — before quoting this book's summary statute: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (Proverbs 3:34; 1 Peter 5:5; James 4:6). Glory is not seized upward but received downward (Luke 14:11; 18:14), on the pattern of the One who humbled Himself and was highly exalted (Philippians 2:8-9).

humble-minded
lowly of mind

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 29:23 (insolence abases a man; but the LORD establishes the humble-minded in glory).

G5013

ταπεινόω (tapeinóō)

G5017.1

ταραχώδης (tarachōdēs)

(tah-rah-KHO-dess)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — turbulent, disturbing, trouble-laden (from τάραχος, disturbance). Psalm 91's second deliverance-clause as the LXX reads it: rescued 'from the snare of hunters, from the disturbing word' — the Greek construed Hebrew dever (pestilence) as davar (word), an LXX-vs-MT divergence worth keeping: slander and panic are also plagues, and the psalm itself pairs 'terror by night' with the arrow by day (Psalm 91:5). This refuge psalm was quoted at the temptation (Matthew 4:6), and its shelter held precisely by the Son's refusing to put it to the test. Under His wings the troubling word loses its teeth: 'who shall bring a charge against God's elect?' (Romans 8:33).

disturbing
turbulent

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 91:3 (for he shall rescue you from out of the snare of hunters, from the disturbing matter).

a major city in Cilicia and the birthplace and early home of Paul (see Acts 9:11; 21:39; 22:3)

Note

Even in the flourishing period of Greek history, it was an important city. In the Roman civil wars, it sided with Caesar and on the occasion of a visit from him, its name changed to Juliopolis. Augustus made it a free city. It was renowned as a place of education under the early Roman emperors. Strabo compares it in this respect to Athens and Alexandria. Tarsus also was a place of much commerce. It was situated in a wild and fertile plain on the banks of the Cydnus. No ruins of any importance remain.

For the Septuagint (ABP) word at this number, see G5019.1 below.

G5019.1

τάρταρος (tartaros)

(TAR-tah-ros)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — Tartarus, the infernal deep, the abyss beneath (the Greek term the NT's ταρταρόω presupposes — 2 Peter 2:4, angels 'cast down to Tartarus'). In the LXX it is Behemoth-and-Leviathan territory: the deep places sporting before the untameable creature, and the abyss reckoned 'as a captive' beneath the beast's wake.

Proverbs 19:7 in the LXX runs long past the Hebrew (an LXX-vs-MT plus), and its added line coins this verb for evil's diligence: 'the one doing many evils perfects a work of evil' — sin, too, has its patient craftsmen (Micah 2:1). The counter-completion is God's: 'he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus' (Philippians 1:6), under the Author and Finisher of faith (Hebrews 12:2), whose own last word from the cross declared the work finished (John 19:30).

Noun — an observer of portents, omen-watcher; also, a man who is himself a portent (τέρας, wonder + σκοπέω, to watch).

What paganism seeks in omens, God supplies in men who point to the Messiah.

Isaiah 44's workshop satire, tool by tool: the smith sharpens the iron, works it over coals, 'and with a drill he sets it' — then hungers, weakens, and cannot even fetch himself water (Isaiah 44:12). The maker is feebler than his god is false, and those who make them become like them (Psalm 115:8).

The vision of God is not merely true but sweet.

Zephaniah's finale gives the noun to God Himself: the Mighty One in your midst 'shall be glad over you with delight as in the day of a feast' — the verse where the LORD sings over His people and renews them in His love (Zephaniah 3:17, with the ABP's 'shall revive you in his affection'). The judgment-book ends with God the rejoicer: the Bridegroom's joy over the bride (Isaiah 62:5), the shepherd's joy over the found sheep (Luke 15:5-7), the 'enter into the joy of your lord' (Matthew 25:21). Delight is not merely commanded of the saints (Psalm 37:4); it is first predicated of their God.

delight
festal joy

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Zephaniah 3:17 (the LORD your God is among you; the mighty one shall deliver you; he shall bring upon you gladness, and shall revive you in his affection; and he shall be glad over you with delight as in the day of the holiday feast).

τετράδραχμον (tetradrachmon)

(teh-TRAH-drakh-mon)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a four-drachma piece, tetradrachm (τετρα-, four, + δραχμή; the slot sits beside τετράδιον by numbering only). Job's restoration ledger: kin and acquaintances return, eat at his table, console him, 'and each gave him one ewe-lamb and a four-drachma piece of unmarked gold' (Job 42:11) — mercy arriving in ordinary coin after the whirlwind, alongside the LORD's own doubling of all that was lost (Job 42:10). The NT's στατήρ is this coin's silver cousin: the tetradrachm found in the fish's mouth paid the temple tax 'for me and for you' (Matthew 17:27) — provision exactly denominated, from the God who audits both sparrows and shekels (Matthew 10:29).

four-drachma piece
tetradrachm

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 42:11 (and all his brothers and his sisters heard all the things coming to pass to him, and came to him; and eating and drinking with him, they comforted him; and they wondered at all which the LORD brought upon him; and each gave to him one ewe-lamb, and a four-drachma gold piece of unmarked gold).

(teh-TREH-no)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to bore through, pierce, puncture. Rabshakeh's figure for Egypt — the crushed reed that pierces the hand that leans on it — and Proverbs' punctured jar.

to pierce
to bore through

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Numeral — forty thousand (τετράκις, four times, + μύριοι, ten thousand). The Jordan-crossing muster: 'forty thousand well-equipped for battle passed over before the LORD for war against the city of Jericho' — the vanguard of Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh keeping their pledged word to cross armed ahead of their brothers (Joshua 1:14; 4:12). The count marches 'before the LORD': the muster belongs to the Commander whose own captaincy appears at Joshua 5:13-15. And numbered strength does not win the first battle anyway — Jericho falls to trumpets and a shout (Joshua 6:20), 'for not by their sword did they inherit the land' (Psalm 44:3).

forty thousand
four myriads

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 4:13 (forty thousand well-equipped for battle passed over before the LORD for war against the city of Jericho).

τετρακοσιοστός (tetrakosiostos)

(teh-trah-ko-see-oss-TOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Ordinal — four-hundredth (from τετρακόσιοι, four hundred). Scripture's own chronological milestone: 'in the four hundred and eightieth year of the exodus of the sons of Israel from Egypt... he built the house to the LORD' (1 Kings 6:1) — the temple dated from redemption, the house's clock started at the sea. The verse binds exodus and temple as one arc: the God who brought them out now comes to dwell — 'you shall bring them in and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance' (Exodus 15:17). Solomon built Him a house (Acts 7:47), yet the arc keeps rising past cedar: 'something greater than the temple is here' (Matthew 12:6; John 2:19-21).

four-hundredth

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 6:1 (and it came to pass in the eightieth and four hundredth year of the exodus of the sons of Israel from out of Egypt, in the fourth year, in the second month of the reigning of king Solomon over Israel, that he built the house to the LORD).

τετράπεδος (tetrapedos)

(teh-TRAH-peh-doss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — four-sided, squared, of dressed masonry stone (the slot sits beside τετράμηνον by numbering only). Josiah's repair fund at work: money gathered at the temple door paid 'to the fabricators and builders to buy quadrangular stones, and wood for beams, to roof the houses which the kings of Judah utterly destroyed' (2 Chronicles 34:11) — reform priced in dressed stone, undoing the fathers' demolition. Squared stone is temple grammar from Solomon's quarry onward (1 Kings 6:36; 7:9-12); the true house likewise is built of stones made ready — living ones, fitted to the cornerstone laid in Zion (1 Peter 2:4-5; Ephesians 2:20-22).

squared
four-sided (of stone)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 34:11 (and they gave it to the fabricators and to the builders to buy quadrangular stones, and wood for beams to roof the houses which the kings of Judah utterly destroyed).

τετραπλῶς (tetraplōs)

(teh-trah-PLOHSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — fourfold, in four courses (adverb of τετραπλόος, fourfold). A joiner's note from Solomon's temple: the nave's entrance made with juniper doorposts, 'porticoes fourfold' — the LXX's construal of an obscure Hebrew measure (the MT reads 'a fourth part'; an LXX-vs-MT divergence of construal, not substance). The base adjective's one NT appearance belongs to Zacchaeus: 'I restore fourfold' (Luke 19:8) — the thief's restitution arithmetic of Exodus 22:1 taken up voluntarily the day salvation came to his house. In both, fourfold is careful workmanship: a doorway into the holy place, and restitution joined as exactly as temple woodwork.

fourfold
in four courses

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 6:33 (and thus he made for the vestibule of the temple doorposts of juniper woods, porticoes fourfold).

a tetrarch
- a governor of the fourth part of a region
- the governor of a third part or half a country, or even a ruler of an entire country or district provided it were of comparatively narrow limits; a petty prince

Note

Strabo states that Galactia was formerly divided into three parts, each one of which was distributed into four smaller subdivisions, each of which was governed by a tetrarch. Strabo relates that Thessaly, before the time of Philip of Macedon, had been divided into four tetrarchies, each having its own tetrarch. Antony made Herod (afterwards king) and Phasael, sons of Antipater, tetrarchs of Palestine. After the death of Herod the Great, his sons, Achelaus styled an ethnarch, but Antipas and Philip with the title of tetrarchs, divided and governed the kingdom left by their father.

in four rows
four-rowed

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 28:17 (you shall weave in it a texture of stone, arranged in four rows — a row of stones: sardius, topaz, and emerald the one row); Exodus 39:10 (they joined in it a texture of stone, arranged in four rows — a row of stones: sardius, topaz, and emerald the one row).

τεχνάζομαι (technazomai)

(tekh-NAH-zo-meh)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to contrive by craft, devise cunningly (from τέχνη, craft, skill; the slot sits beside τεφρόω by numbering only). The incomparability challenge: 'To whom do you liken me? Behold — contrive cunningly, O you wandering ones!' (Isaiah 46:5) — the LORD daring the idol-guild to engineer His equal, in the chapter that contrasts gods who must be carried with the God who carries: 'even to old age... I carry you' (Isaiah 46:3-4). All the craft of Babylon produces only a burden strapped to a beast (Isaiah 46:1); no likeness can be contrived, because the image of God is not manufactured but begotten (Colossians 1:15; Hebrews 1:3).

to contrive cunningly
to devise by craft

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 46:5 (to whom do you liken me? Behold — cunningly contrive, O misleading ones!).

Τηβήθ (Tēbēth)

(tay-BAYTH)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Hebrew-Babylonian loanword — Tebeth, the tenth month of the exile calendar (December-January); the ABP transliterates the month-name (the slot sits beside τεχνίτης by numbering only). Esther's date-line: 'Esther entered to Artaxerxes the king in the tenth month, which is Tebeth, in the seventh year of his kingship' — the winter month an orphan exile was set beside the throne 'for such a time as this' (Esther 4:14). The book that never names God keeps meticulous time, because providence does: dates in Babylonian dress still run on the LORD's schedule (Daniel 2:21), down to the fullness of time itself (Galatians 4:4).

Tebeth (the tenth month)
month-name loanword

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Esther 2:16 (and Esther entered to Artaxerxes the king in the tenth month, which is Tebeth, in the seventh year of his kingship).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun; frying pan, griddle.

frying pan, griddle

τηλαύγημα (tēlaugēma)

(tay-LAV-ghee-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a far-shining spot, bright patch (τῆλε, far, + αὐγή, radiance; the leprosy-diagnostics term; the slot sits beside τήκω by numbering only). Leviticus 13's careful casuistry: 'if the bright spot should abide in its place and not diffuse, it is a scar of the lesion, and the priest shall cleanse him' — the same brightness that condemns when spreading acquits when still. The priest's trained eye distinguishes glow from disease, yet the law can only diagnose, never heal (Hebrews 10:1-4). The kindred adverb belongs to the healed: the blind man at Bethsaida saw everything 'clearly' — τηλαυγῶς (Mark 8:25) — when the Priest who both diagnoses and cures had finished with him.

bright spot
far-shining patch

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 13:23 (and if the radiance should abide in its place and should not diffuse, it is a discoloration of the lesion, and the priest shall cleanse him).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — far-shining, radiant (τῆλε, afar, + αὐγή, radiance; the adverb is Mark 8:25's "seeing everything clearly"). Leviticus's clinical "bright spot" — and Psalm 19's confession: "the commandment of the LORD is radiant, enlightening the eyes."

radiant, far-shining
bright (spot)

Septuagint usage

6 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 13:2 (the bright spot on the skin — brought to the priest); Leviticus 13:19 (the shining white spot rising where the boil was); Job 37:21 (the light radiant in the clouds after the wind passes and clears them); Psalm 19:8 ("the commandment of the LORD is radiant, enlightening the eyes").

τηλαύγησις (tēlaugēsis)

(tay-LAV-ghee-siss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — far-shining radiance, brilliance (τῆλε, far, + αὐγή, radiance; sibling of the Leviticus bright-spot noun). The theophany of Psalm 18: 'from the radiance before him the clouds passed — hail and coals of fire' — David's rescue narrated as Sinai weather, the God who 'bowed the heavens and came down' (Psalm 18:9) breaking cover in brightness. The psalm's escalation is the NT's: the radiance before Him is finally a Person, 'the radiance of his glory' (Hebrews 1:3, ἀπαύγασμα), and the light that blinds on one road (Acts 9:3) is the light that saves — 'the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ' (2 Corinthians 4:6).

radiance
far-shining brightness

(tee-AH-rah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — tiara, the rounded Persian head-dress (a Persian loanword in Greek; the slot sits beside Τιβεριάς by numbering only). The furnace inventory: the three were bound 'with their pantaloons and tiaras and leggings and their garments' and thrown in fully dressed (Daniel 3:21) — the narrator counts the clothing so the exit-audit can count it again: hair unsinged, garments unchanged, no smell of fire (Daniel 3:27). Only the ropes burned — and a fourth walked in the fire with them, 'like a son of God' (Daniel 3:25). 'When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned' (Isaiah 43:2) was court dress that day.

τιθηνέομαι (tithēneomai)

(tee-thay-NEH-o-meh)

Definition

Lamentations' reversal-catalogue: 'the ones eating delicacies were desolate in the streets; the ones suckled in scarlet embraced dung-heaps' (Lamentations 4:5) — nursery luxury face-down in the ash of judgment. Elsewhere the nursing-word carries the promise this curse inverts: Moses bidden to carry the people 'as a nurse carries the suckling' (Numbers 11:12), and kings shall be your foster-fathers and queens your nurses when the LORD's favor returns (Isaiah 49:23). Zion's children fell from scarlet to dung; the gospel's foundling is lifted the other way (Ezekiel 16:4-8; Luke 15:22).

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Lamentations 4:5 (the ones eating the delicacies were removed in the streets; the ones having been suckled in scarlet embraced dung).

(TEE-may-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — valuation, assessed price (from τιμή, honor, price). The vow-redemption statute: an unclean animal devoted to the LORD may be bought back at its priest-set value plus a fifth — 'but if he should not ransom it, it shall be sold according to its valuation' (Leviticus 27:27). Leviticus closes with a whole chapter of sacred appraisal: everything vowed receives a price, and redemption always costs above par. The vocabulary matures into the gospel's ledger: 'you were bought with a price' (1 Corinthians 6:20, τιμῆς) — not silver or gold but precious blood (1 Peter 1:18-19), the valuation no added fifth could reach.

Verb — to assess in writing, register for tribute (τιμή, price, + γράφω, to write; the ABP files it on the Τιμόθεος slot by numbering only). Vassalage's paperwork: Jehoiakim, installed by Pharaoh Necho, 'assessed the land to give the money by the mouth of Pharaoh — from each man according to his assessed value' (2 Kings 23:35) — Josiah's reform dissolved into a tax-roll for Egypt within months of his death. The written valuation of persons is empire's habit (Luke 2:1's enrollment); the counter-register is the LORD's: a book of remembrance written before Him for those who fear Him — 'they shall be mine in the day when I make up my treasured possession' (Malachi 3:16-17; Luke 10:20).

to assess for tribute

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a shaking, vibration, quiver (from τινάσσω, to shake; the slot sits beside τιμωρία by numbering only). From the wisdom-hymn's climax: when God appointed the rain and 'made a way for the vibration of sound' — the thunder given a road (the MT reads 'a way for the lightning of the thunder,' Job 28:26). Even the storm's shudder travels an engineered path: 'then he saw wisdom and declared it' (Job 28:27). The chapter's search — miners can reach ore no falcon's eye has seen, but where shall wisdom be found? — ends at the fear of the LORD (Job 28:28), and the NT names where the road of thunder was always leading: Christ, 'in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom' (Colossians 2:3; 1 Corinthians 1:24).

shaking
vibration

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 28:26 (when he made them, thus seeing he counted them, and made a way for the vibration of sound).
