Adjective — high-hearted, proud of heart (ὑψηλός, high, + καρδία, heart; the ABP files it on the ὑφαντός slot by numbering only). The LXX's blunt cultic ruling: 'every high-hearted one is unclean before God' (Proverbs 16:5) — pride classified not as a flaw but as defilement, using the law's own quarantine vocabulary; and the LXX's expanded verse adds the liturgical corollary, 'to do just things is more acceptable to God than to sacrifice sacrifices.' The heart's altitude is the LORD's particular concern — 'everyone exalted in heart is an abomination' (Proverbs 16:5 MT), 'that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination before God' (Luke 16:15) — and He dwells, by stated preference, with the opposite altitude: the contrite and lowly of spirit (Isaiah 57:15; James 4:6).

The armory transposes, not retires: the two-edged sword of the new covenant proceeds from a mouth (Revelation 1:16; 19:15) and is the word of God itself, living and sharper (Hebrews 4:12; Ephesians 6:17) — Jehoshaphat's choir marching ahead of the army was the hinge case (2 Chronicles 20:21-22).

A Jewish sect (which seems to have started after the Jewish exile) that focused on outward forms of piety, enemies of Jesus Christ

Note

In addition to Old Testament books, the Pharisees recognized in oral tradition a standard of belief and life. They sought for distinction and praise by outward observance of external rites and by outward forms of piety, and such as ceremonial washings, fastings, prayers, and alms giving; and, comparatively negligent of genuine piety, they prided themselves on their fancied good works. They held strenuously to a belief in the existence of good and evil angels, and to the expectation of a Messiah; and they cherished the hope that the dead, after a preliminary experience either of reward or of penalty in Hades, would be recalled to life by him, and be requited each according to his individual deeds. In opposition to the usurped dominion of the Herods and the rule of the Romans, they stoutly upheld the theocracy and their country's cause and possessed great influence with the common people. According to Josephus they numbered more than 6000. They were bitter enemies of Jesus and his cause; and were in turn severely rebuked by him for their avarice, ambition, hollow reliance on outward works, and affection of piety in order to gain popularity.

The city's boast is a stolen divine name ('I am, and there is none besides me,' Isaiah 45:5-6 — the same theft Babylon commits at Isaiah 47:8), and self-deification is the one hope that cannot hold weight. The taunt-form returns for the last Babylon — 'I sit a queen and shall see no sorrow... in one day her plagues' (Revelation 18:7-8).

disparaging city

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Zephaniah 2:15 (this is the heedless city, the one dwelling upon hope, who says in her heart, I am, and there is none after me any longer.

φερνίζω (phernizō)

(fer-NEE-zo)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to endow with a bride-price, pay dowry (from φερνή, dowry — printed here as the cognate-accusative pair 'with a dowry he shall endow her'; the ABP files it on the φειδομένως slot by numbering only). The seduction statute: the man who beguiles an unbetrothed virgin 'shall surely endow her to himself as wife' — full mohar paid, her future secured, even if her father refuses the marriage (Exodus 22:16-17). The law prices what passion treats as free: a woman is covenanted, not consumed. The bride-price grammar ascends: the LORD betroths Israel 'in righteousness and in judgment, in mercy and in compassions' (Hosea 2:19-20), and the church is presented to Christ at the costliest endowment on record — 'he gave himself up for her' (Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Corinthians 6:20).

to endow
to pay bride-price

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 22:16 (and if any should beguile a virgin not betrothed, and should go to bed with her, with a dowry he shall endow her to himself as a wife).

At the end of that time, Porcius Festus was appointed to supersede Felix, who, on his return to Rome, was accused by the Jews in Caesarea, and would have suffered the penalty due to his atrocities had not his brother Pallas prevailed with the emperor Nero to spare him. The wife of Felix was Drusilla, daughter of Herod Agrippa I, who was his third wife and whom he persuaded to leave her husband and marry him.

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a corrupted thing, damage, spoilage (from φθείρω, to corrupt; kin of the base φθάνω by slot only). The offering-quality statute's last clause: blemished animals may not be accepted even 'from the hand of a foreigner... for there is corruption in them, a blemish in them; they shall not be received for you' (Leviticus 22:25). The altar takes no seconds regardless of the donor: God's table is not a salvage market (Malachi 1:8, 14 — 'cursed be the cheat... for I am a great King'). The whole graded roster of Leviticus 22:20-24 exists to train the eye for the offering it anticipates: 'a lamb without blemish and without spot' (1 Peter 1:19), who 'offered himself without blemish to God' (Hebrews 9:14).

φθέγμα (phthegma)

(FTHEG-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an utterance, vocal sound (from φθέγγομαι, to utter; the ABP prints it in a fused pronoun-row, 'your utterance' — the word rides the pronoun's slot in the tagging). Job's exhausted reply to the first round of counsel: 'Nor will your reproof cause me to cease my words; for neither will I endure the utterance of your word' (Job 6:26) — spoken to friends who 'reprove words' while treating a desperate man's speech as wind (Job 6:26 MT). The same speech has already measured them as seasonal wadis that fail the caravans (Job 6:15-20). Utterance without mercy is noise (1 Corinthians 13:1); the LORD's closing audit sides with the sufferer's rough honesty over the comforters' polished φθέγματα (Job 42:7).

utterance
vocal sound

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 6:26 (nor will your reproof cause me to cease my words; for neither will I endure the utterance of your word).

Verb — to wane, decline, waste away (kin of the base φθινοπωρινός, autumn-waning — Jude's 'autumn trees'). From Job's integrity-oath against astral worship: 'do we not see the shining sun subsiding, and the moon waning? — for there is no power in them' (Job 31:26, the LXX adding the verdict aloud); if my heart was secretly enticed and my hand threw them a kiss, 'this too would be lawlessness, for I would have lied against the Lord Most High' (Job 31:27-28). The lights' own waning is their disqualification from worship: they are made, scheduled, and fading (Genesis 1:14-18; Psalm 121:6). Worship belongs past them, to the Father of lights 'with whom is no variation or shadow due to change' (James 1:17; Deuteronomy 4:19).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — sin-loving, fond of transgression (φίλος, fond, + ἁμάρτημα, sin; the ABP files it on the φιλάδελφος slot by numbering only — the antonym riding the brother-love slot). The LXX's four-word verdict: 'the one fond of sinning rejoices in fights' (Proverbs 17:19) — sin diagnosed at the level of affection: not what a man does under pressure but what he warms to. The Bible's moral psychology runs on loves — 'men loved the darkness rather than the light' (John 3:19), 'the fear of the LORD is to hate evil' (Proverbs 8:13) — so conversion is a re-ordering of delight (Psalm 1:2; 119:97): a new love that starves the old quarrel-appetite (James 4:1) into the peaceable wisdom from above (James 3:17-18).

φιλεχθρέω (philechthreō)

(fee-lekh-THREH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be fond of enmity, cultivate quarrels (φίλος, fond, + ἔχθρα, enmity; the ABP files it on the φίλαυτος slot by numbering only — enmity-love beside self-love, an accurate genealogy). Wisdom's peaceable statute: 'do not be fond of quarreling against a man in vain, lest he work evil against you' (Proverbs 3:30) — hostility as hobby forbidden, the manufactured feud that plants tomorrow's harm today. The command sits in wisdom's kindness-cluster (Proverbs 3:27-29: withhold no due good, devise no evil against the trusting neighbor) and matures into the NT's standing orders: 'if possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all' (Romans 12:18), for the sons of God are recognized by peacemaking (Matthew 5:9; Hebrews 12:14).

to love quarreling

In Deborah's song the spoil is divided 'to the friends of friends'; in Chronicles the seer Jehu presses the word into Jehoshaphat's conscience: "do you befriend the ones detesting the LORD?" — friendship as a covenantal alignment, and answerable.

G5376.1

φιλογέωργος (philogeōrgos)

(fee-lo-gheh-or-GOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — fond of husbandry, a lover of the soil (φίλος, fond, + γεωργός, farmer; the ABP files it on the Φίλιππος slot by numbering only). Uzziah's best line: towers in the wilderness, many cisterns hewn, herds in the Shephelah, 'farmers and vine-dressers in the mountains and in Carmel — for he was a lover of husbandry' (2 Chronicles 26:10). A king's greatness measured in wells and vineyards: dominion exercised as cultivation, the Genesis 2:15 vocation crowned. The chapter's hinge is therefore the sadder: 'when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction' (2 Chronicles 26:16) — the hand good with vines reaching for the censer. The true King keeps both callings clean: vinedresser's patience (John 15:1) and priesthood by right (Hebrews 7:24-25).

soil-loving
fond of husbandry

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 2 Chronicles 26:10 (and he built towers in the wilderness, and quarried many wells, for much cattle existed to him in Sephela and in the plain — farmers and vine-dressers in the mountains and in Carmel; for he was fond of husbandry).

Adjective — woman-loving, uxorious (φίλος, fond, + γυνή, woman; the ABP files it on the Φίλιππος slot by numbering only). The one-word autopsy of the wisest man: 'King Solomon was a lover of women, and took alien wives' — Pharaoh's daughter, Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, Hittite (1 Kings 11:1) — the exact triple violation of the king-charter (Deuteronomy 17:16-17), and 'his wives turned away his heart after other gods' (1 Kings 11:3-4). Wisdom's owner falls not to an argument but to an affection: what the heart loves, the knees eventually serve (1 Kings 11:5-8). The remedy is not lovelessness but a rightly-ordered supreme love (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 10:37) — and a greater than Solomon whose bride never divides His heart (Matthew 12:42; Ephesians 5:25-27).

woman-loving
uxorious

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 11:1 (and king Solomon was fond of women, and he took alien wives — the daughter of Pharaoh, and Moabitish, and Ammonitish, and Edomites, and Sidonians, and Hittites).

φιλονεικέω (philoneikeō)

(fee-lo-nee-KEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to love strife, be fond of contention (φίλος + νεῖκος, quarrel; the ABP files it on the Φιλόλογος slot by numbering only). The covering-proverb in the LXX's phrasing: 'hatred stirs up quarrel, but friendship covers all those not fond of strife' (Proverbs 10:12 — the MT's 'love covers all offenses'). This is the verse the apostles reached for twice: 'love covers a multitude of sins' (1 Peter 4:8; James 5:20). Hatred is a publisher, love an editor: the one prints every fault, the other buries what repentance has killed (Proverbs 17:9; Genesis 9:23). The covering is not denial but atonement's household manner — as the Lord covered us (Psalm 32:1; Colossians 3:13).

to love strife
to be contentious

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 10:12 (hatred raises up altercation; but friendship shall cover all the ones not fond of altercations).

The east-wind sentence on Ephraim: 'the LORD will bring up a burning wind out of the wilderness upon him, and he shall dry up his veins; he shall desolate his springs' (Hosea 13:15) — the fruitful name (Ephraim, 'doubly fruitful,' the verse's own irony) cut at the circulatory system, aquifer and artery in one word. Judgment here is dehydration: the fountain of living waters forsaken for cracked cisterns (Jeremiah 2:13) until the sources themselves fail. The reversal is the same book's promise — 'I will be as the dew to Israel' (Hosea 14:5) — and the wind from the wilderness is answered at last by rivers of living water from within (John 7:38).

vein
spring-channel

The first closed door in Scripture: Adam expelled, 'and he ordered the cherubim, and the flaming broadsword that turns, to guard the way of the tree of life' (Genesis 3:24). Eden's east gate is armed: the way back to life runs through wrath's rotating blade, and every later sanctuary says so in fabric — cherubim woven into the veil that bars the holiest (Exodus 26:31-33). The gospel's geometry is the sword's: 'Awake, O sword, against my shepherd' (Zechariah 13:7) — it falls on Him, and the cherub-veil tears top to bottom (Matthew 27:51), opening 'a new and living way' (Hebrews 10:19-20) until the tree of life stands unguarded to the overcomer (Revelation 2:7; 22:14).

flaming

From the psalter's darkest psalm: 'your wraths passed over me; your terrors disturbed me' (Psalm 88:16) — Heman's prayer that alone among the psalms ends without a turn, its last word 'darkness' (Psalm 88:18). Yet the address holds: 'O LORD, God of my salvation' (Psalm 88:1) — faith praying wrath's weather to the very God it comes from. The psalm was kept in the canon to be fully prayed once: the forsaken cry of the cross stands in its line (Matthew 27:46), waves and terrors passing over the One (Psalm 88:7, 16; Jonah 2:3) so that the darkness would not be the last word for His people (2 Corinthians 4:6).

frightful visitation

φοβερῶς (phoberōs)

(fo-veh-ROSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — fearfully, awesomely (from φοβερός, fearful). The womb-psalm's doxology: 'I will acknowledge you, for fearfully you were made wonderful — wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it exceedingly' (Psalm 139:14) — spoken by a man contemplating his own knitting-together in secret (Psalm 139:13, 15-16: 'your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in your book all my days were written'). The adverb sets the register: a human being is not an accident to be explained but a wonder to be feared — authored, foreknown, and inscribed before one day of him existed (Jeremiah 1:5; Ephesians 2:10). The right response to one's own existence is worship (Psalm 139:17-18, 23-24).

fearfully
awesomely

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 139:14 (I will make acknowledgment to you, for fearfully you caused wonder; wonderful are your works, and my soul knows it exceedingly).
