χερσαῖος (chersaios)

(kher-SEH-oss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of dry land, land-dwelling (from χέρσος, dry ground; the slot sits beside χερουβίμ by numbering only). From the crawling-things register: 'these are unclean to you among the swarmers — the weasel, and the mouse, and the land crocodile, and its kind' (Leviticus 11:29) — the great monitor lizard classed by habitat, the taxonomy that trained Israel to divide clean from unclean at the level of the pantry and the path (Leviticus 11:44-47 — 'be holy, for I am holy'). The register's pedagogy ran its course: on the Joppa rooftop the sheet came down full of exactly such creatures, and the voice said the lesson's last word — 'what God has cleansed, no longer call common' (Acts 10:12-15, 28; Mark 7:19).

land-dwelling
of dry ground

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 11:29 (and these are unclean to you of the crawling things that crawl upon the earth — the weasel, and the mouse, and the dry-land crocodile, and the ones likened to it).

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 24:31 (the field of the sluggard — if you leave it alone, it will run barren and be wholly overgrown; his stone walls are broken down); Jeremiah 2:31 ("hear the word of the LORD — have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land run barren?

(khee-LEE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a hoof, cloven claw. The clean-animal criterion in both occurrences: hoof cloven and cud chewed — the double test by which Israel's table preached discernment.

(khee-REE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — widowhood (from χήρα, widow). Isaiah's two widowhoods face each other: proud Babylon promised widowhood and childlessness 'in one day,' and Zion promised the opposite — "the reproach of your widowhood you shall not remember any longer," for her Maker is her husband.

widowhood

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Isaiah 47:9 ("now these two things shall come upon you suddenly, in one day — childlessness and widowhood; they shall come upon you suddenly, in your sorcery, in the strength of your enchantments exceedingly"); Isaiah 54:4 ("do not fear that you were disgraced, nor feel shame that you were berated — for shame everlasting you shall forget, and the scorn of your widowhood in no way shall you remember any longer").

χήρευσις (chēreusis)

(KHEE-rev-sis)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the state of widowhood; widow's dress (by-form of χηρεία). Both occurrences clothe Tamar: she sets aside 'the garments of her widowhood' at the gate, and puts them on again — the costume-change around which Judah's line, and the Messiah's genealogy, turned.

widowhood
widow's garments

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 38:14 (she removed the garments of her widowhood from herself, and put around herself a lightweight covering, and beautified her face — and sat by the gates of Enaim, on the way to Timnah); Genesis 38:19 (she rose up and went forth — and removed her lightweight garment from herself, and put on the garments of her widowhood).

G5503.3

χηρεύω (chēreuō)

(khay-REV-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be widowed, live as a widow (from χήρα, widow). The exile-oracle's astonishing negative: 'Israel and Judah have not been widowed from their God, from the LORD Almighty — though their land was filled with injustice against the holy things of Israel' (Jeremiah 51:5, spoken inside the doom of Babylon). The marriage stands even at the covenant's lowest hour: 'Where is your mother's bill of divorce, with which I sent her away?' (Isaiah 50:1 — there is none to produce). Guilt is real, the Husband is unreleased: 'I am married to you' (Jeremiah 3:14), 'God has not cast off his people whom he foreknew' (Romans 11:1-2) — and the widowhood that looked final is renamed at Isaiah 54:4-5: 'your Maker is your husband.'

to be widowed
to live as a widow

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Jeremiah 51:5 (for Israel and Judah have not been widowed from their God, from the LORD Almighty; for their land was filled with injustice from the holy things of Israel).

G5504

χθές (chthés)

(khthes | h-THES | h-THASE)

of uncertain derivation; "yesterday"; by extension, in time past or hitherto; yesterday.

yesterday

For the Septuagint (ABP) words at this number, see G5504.1–G5504.4 below.

G5504.1

χθιζός (chthizos)

(khthee-ZOSS)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — of yesterday, yesterday-born (from χθές, yesterday). Bildad's one indisputable premise: 'we are of yesterday and know nothing, for our existence upon the earth is a shadow' (Job 8:9) — offered as a reason to consult the fathers, and true beyond his use of it. Scripture keeps the measurement: days a handbreadth (Psalm 39:5), a tale told (Psalm 90:9), grass that flowers and is gone (Psalm 103:15-16), sojourners whose days are 'as a shadow, and there is no abiding' (1 Chronicles 29:15). Yesterday-creatures have one sane recourse — the God to whom a thousand years are as yesterday (Psalm 90:4, 12) and the Christ who is 'the same yesterday and today and forever' (Hebrews 13:8; James 4:14).

of yesterday
short-lived

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 8:9 (for we are of yesterday, and have not known; for our existence upon the earth is a shadow).

G5504.2

χθών (chthōn)

(KHTHONE)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — earth, soil, ground (the poets' earth-word; the ABP files it on the χθές slot by numbering only). Ahijah's oracle against Jeroboam's house widens to the nation: 'the LORD shall strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water; and he shall pluck Israel up from off this good soil which he gave to their fathers, and shall winnow them beyond the river, because they made their sacred groves' (1 Kings 14:15). The gift-word makes the judgment exact: uprooted from soil that was grant, not property (Deuteronomy 28:63; 2 Kings 17:23 records the fulfillment). Yet planting-grace has the later word — 'I will plant them upon their land, and they shall never again be plucked up' (Amos 9:15) — and the shaken-reed image returns on the Baptist's plains, asked by the One who does not break the bruised one (Matthew 11:7; 12:20).

soil
earth

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 14:15 (and the LORD shall strike Israel as a reed shaken in the water; and he shall pluck Israel out from off this good soil which he gave to their fathers, and he shall winnow them on the other side of the river, because they made their sacred groves, provoking the LORD to anger).

G5504.3

χίδρα (chidra)

(KHEE-dhrah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — fresh ears of grain: green wheat, crushed new groats. The firstfruits grain offering — new heads roasted in fire — and the law that none of the new harvest be eaten before the offering day.

green wheat
fresh grain

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 2:14 (if you bring a grain offering of firstfruits to the LORD — new heads roasted in fire, crushed green wheat, you shall offer as the grain offering of your firstfruits); Leviticus 2:16 (the priest shall burn its memorial portion — of the crushed green wheat with its oil, with all its frankincense: a fire-offering to the LORD); Leviticus 23:14 (bread, roasted grain, and green wheat you shall not eat until this very day — until you bring the offering of your God; a perpetual statute).

G5504.4

χιλιαρχία (chiliarchia)

(khee-lee-ar-KHEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a commandership of a thousand, the office of chiliarch (χίλιοι, thousand, + ἀρχή, command; the ABP files it on the χθές slot by numbering only). The Midian campaign's closing audit: 'there came to Moses all those placed over the commanderships of the force, commanders of thousands and of hundreds' — to report a casualty count of zero, 'not one of us is missing,' and to volunteer a gold offering 'to make atonement for our souls before the LORD' (Numbers 31:48-50). Officers who counted their men and found grace in the arithmetic answered with ransom-gold: preserved life acknowledged as owed life (Exodus 30:12's census-ransom logic). The Captain of the later muster files the same report in person: 'of those whom you have given me, I lost not one' (John 18:9; 17:12).

commandership
command of a thousand

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 31:48 (and there came forward to Moses all the ones placed as the commanders of the force — commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds; and they said to Moses).

G5507.1

χιλιοπλασίως (chilioplasiōs)

(khee-lee-o-plah-SEE-oss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adverb — a thousandfold, a thousand times over (from χίλιοι, thousand). Moses' benediction lodged inside his resignation-speech: 'How can I bear alone your weight and your burden?' — yet first, 'may the LORD God of your fathers add to you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you!' (Deuteronomy 1:9-11). The blessing outruns the fatigue: the very multiplication that breaks the leader's back is prayed larger, because it is the Abrahamic promise doing its work (Genesis 15:5; 22:17). Leadership that blesses its own burden is the Mosaic signature (Numbers 11:29) — and the thousand-fold arithmetic remains God's preferred scale (Psalm 84:10; 2 Peter 3:8).

a thousandfold
a thousand times over

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 1:11 (may the LORD God of your fathers add to you a thousand times more than you are, and bless you in so far as he spoke to you).

G5507.2

χιλία (chilia)

(khee-LEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — a thousand-fold, reckoned as one word for the singular 'thousand' offering (the ABP's slot for the feminine singular of χίλιοι in the whole-burnt-offering idiom). Both occurrences are Solomon at Gibeon: the thousand whole burnt offerings after which the LORD appeared and said, "Ask what I shall give you."

a thousand (offering)

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 3:4 (the king rose up and went to Gibeon, to sacrifice there, for it was the highest and greatest place — a thousand-fold whole burnt offering Solomon offered upon the altar); 2 Chronicles 1:6 (Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the LORD in the tent — and offered upon it a thousand-fold whole burnt offering).

G5507.3

χίμαιρα (chimaira)

(KHEE-meh-rah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a she-goat, yearling goat. The commoner's sin-offering of Leviticus — the female without blemish, hand laid on its head, blood at the altar's base.

G5507.4

χίμαρος (chimaros)

(HEE-ma-ros)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Masculine noun; a he-goat, young male goat — the sin-offering animal of Leviticus: the ruler's goat, the people's goat, and the two goats of the Day of Atonement over which the lots are cast, "one lot for the LORD and one lot for the scapegoat."

he-goat, young goat (the sin-offering victim)
the two goats of the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16)

G5507.5

χιονόω (chionoō)

(khee-o-NO-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make snow-white, snow upon (from χιών, snow; the ABP files it on the χίλιοι slot by numbering only). From the ascent-psalm's battle-flashback: 'when the Heavenly One scatters kings upon her, they shall be made as snow in Zalmon' (Psalm 68:14) — the rout of kings pictured as a snowfall on the dark mountain, either the blizzard of the fleeing or the field left white as drift. Snow is the psalter's whitening extreme — 'wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow' (Psalm 51:7) — and the prophets price the same whiteness for sinners rather than armies (Isaiah 1:18). The Ancient of Days wears it as raiment (Daniel 7:9), and the risen Lord as hair and garment (Matthew 28:3; Revelation 1:14).

to whiten as snow
to snow upon

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 68:14 (when the heavenly one draws apart kings upon her, they shall be made as snow in Salmon).

G5510.1

χλαῖνα (chlaina)

(KHLEH-nah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a thick upper cloak, mantle (the ABP files it on the χιών slot by numbering only — snow beside the garment against it, aptly: the verse before praises her household 'not afraid of snow,' Proverbs 31:21). The valiant woman's loom-work: 'she made double cloaks for her husband, and garments for herself of fine linen and purple' (Proverbs 31:22 — the LXX assigning the double weave to the husband where the MT reads her own coverings; either way the household is clothed ahead of the weather). Provision by foresight is this chapter's praise (Proverbs 31:25 — 'she laughs at the last day'), a small domestic icon of the Provider who clothes lilies, sinners, and saints (Genesis 3:21; Matthew 6:28-30; Revelation 19:8).

cloak

χλεύασμα (chleuasma)

(KHLEV-ass-mah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an object of mockery, laughingstock (from χλευάζω, to jeer — the Areopagus verb, Acts 17:32). Job's bitter summary of his social position: 'a just and blameless man was born for a laughingstock' (Job 12:4) — the sufferer's integrity itself made the joke, his neighbors' theology requiring his guilt. The righteous-man-mocked is one of Scripture's straightest lines to the cross: 'all who see me mock me... he trusted in the LORD, let him rescue him' (Psalm 22:7-8) — quoted verbatim by the chief priests at Golgotha (Matthew 27:41-43), the soldiers' theater before it (Matthew 27:29). The mocked Just One 'when he was reviled, reviled not again' (1 Peter 2:23), and God's answer to all such laughter is Psalm 2:4.

laughingstock
object of taunts

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Job 12:4 (for a just man, and blameless, was born for an object for taunts).

G5512.2

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — mocking, taunting, derision (from χλευάζω above, to mock).

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Psalms 44:13 ("You have made us a reproach to our neighbors — a scoffing and a taunting to those around us"); Psalms 79:4 (we have become a reproach to our neighbors — a scoffing and taunting to those around us); Jeremiah 20:8 ("for as often as I speak, I cry out violence and ruin — because the word of the LORD has become for me a reproach and a taunting all day long").

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — greenness, pale-green sheen (from χλωρός, green). The ascent-psalm's dove: 'though you lie among the sheepfolds — the wings of the dove silvered over, and her back in greenness of gold' (Psalm 68:13): Israel, lately soot-black among the pots of bondage, iridescent in the sun of deliverance, silver and green-gold like a dove banking in light. The transformation-image is the psalm's gospel in miniature — ashes traded for beauty (Isaiah 61:3), the years of the sluggish camp answered with plumage (Ezekiel 16:8-14). The whole psalm ascends to the verse Paul crowns with Christ: 'you ascended on high; you led captivity captive' (Psalm 68:18; Ephesians 4:8).

greenness
green-gold sheen

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the rock hyrax, coney (literally "hog-grunter").

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — cholera, violent nausea, revulsion-sickness (from χολή, bile; the ABP files it on the χολάω slot by numbering only). The craving-camp's sentence: quail 'a whole month of days, until it comes out of your nostrils — and it shall be to you for a cholera, because you resisted the LORD who is among you, and wept before him, saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?' (Numbers 11:20). The punishment is the petition, granted past appetite's breaking point: 'he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul' (Psalm 106:15). Craving indulged becomes craving avenged (Numbers 11:33-34 — the graves of desire); the alternative food was standing in the camp unwanted (Numbers 11:6-9; John 6:32-35).

cholera
revulsion-sickness

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Numbers 11:20 (for a month of days you shall eat, until it should come forth from out of your nostrils; and it shall be to you for a cholera, because you resisted the LORD who is among you, and you wept before him, saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?).

χόλος (cholos)

(KHO-loss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — bitter anger, gall-rage (the wrath-word cut from the same stock as χολή, gall). Qoheleth's audit of the hoarding life: wealth kept to its owner's hurt, lost in a bad venture, nothing in the hand for the son — 'indeed all his days are in darkness and in mourning, and much rage, and sickness, and bitter anger' (Ecclesiastes 5:13-17). The portfolio's true yield: gall. Against it the Preacher sets his repeated alternative — to eat, drink, and see good in one's toil as 'the gift of God,' the man kept occupied with joy of heart (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20; 2:24-26). Bitterness is what treasure becomes when it must be god (1 Timothy 6:9-10); gratitude is what it becomes when it may be gift (1 Timothy 6:17; Matthew 6:19-21).

bitter anger
gall-rage

The chief baker's dream: 'I also saw a dream — three baskets of groats-loaves lifted upon my head,' the topmost open to the birds (Genesis 40:16-17). Encouraged by the cupbearer's good verdict, he hears the same idiom split down its dark side: in three days Pharaoh will 'lift up your head — from off you' (Genesis 40:13, 19). One phrase, two destinies, one interpreter: Joseph's God discriminates exactly where men see symmetry (Genesis 40:8 — 'do not interpretations belong to God?'). The two prisoners beside a condemned innocent, one restored and one not, is a scene the gospel stages once more at Golgotha (Luke 23:39-43).

groats-bread
coarse-meal loaf

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 40:16 (and the chief baker saw that he interpreted rightly, and he said to Joseph, I also saw a dream, and I imagined three bins of groats lifted upon my head).

χορηγία (chorēgia)

(kho-ree-GHEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a supplying, furnishing of expense (from χορηγέω, to supply — the NT's verb of God 'supplying' seed and strength, 2 Corinthians 9:10; 1 Peter 4:11). Both occurrences are Tattenai's inquiry at the temple rebuilding: "who ordered you this expense?" — the empire's audit of a work whose true Supplier sat above every satrap.

supply

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezra 5:3 (at the same time came Tattenai the ruler on this side of the river, and Shethar-boznai, and their fellow servants — and thus they said to them, "who ordered an order to you to build this house, and to be bestowing of this expense?"); Ezra 5:9 ("then we asked those elders, and thus we said to them — who ordered an order to you to build this house, and this expense to bestow?").

χόριον (chorion)

(KHO-ree-on)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — afterbirth, the fetal membrane (the ABP files it on the χορηγέω slot by numbering only). The covenant-curse at its nadir — the delicate woman of the previous verse, in the siege's last extremity, begrudging her family 'her afterbirth that comes out from between her thighs, and her child that she bears; for she shall eat them in secret in the lack of all things' (Deuteronomy 28:56-57). Moses reads the clause aloud on the plains of Moab so that no one can later call the exile disproportionate (Deuteronomy 28:15; fulfilled at 2 Kings 6:28-29 and Lamentations 4:10). The curse catalogued at full depth is the measure of the redemption: 'Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us' (Galatians 3:13).

afterbirth
fetal membrane

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Deuteronomy 28:57 (and her afterbirth coming forth through her thighs, and her child which she should give birth to — she shall eat them because of the lack of all things, secretly, in the straits and in the affliction with which your enemy shall afflict you in your cities).

the Carites

χορτασία (chortasia)

(khor-tah-SEE-ah)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a filling, satiety of the belly (from χορτάζω, to fill with fodder). The LXX's double warning: 'do not lead the impious into the pasture of the just, nor be deceived by the filling of the belly' (Proverbs 24:15 — where the MT warns the wicked not to ambush the righteous man's dwelling; the Greek adds appetite to the threat-list: the fold is betrayed by infiltration or by stomach). Belly-deception is a standing biblical category — Esau's pottage (Genesis 25:32-34), the crowds who followed 'because you ate of the loaves and were filled' (John 6:26), teachers 'whose god is the belly' (Philippians 3:19; Romans 16:18). The blessed filling is hungered for, not bribed with: 'blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled' — χορτασθήσονται (Matthew 5:6).

filling
belly-satiety

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 24:15 (you should not lead the impious to the pasture of the just; nor should you be deceived in filling the belly).

Verb — to run riot with grass, go mad with weeds (χόρτος, grass, + μαίνομαι, to rage; kin of the base χόρτασμα by stock). The sluggard's field inspected: 'if you let it go, it will lie barren and be wholly overgrown, and it becomes abandoned, and its stone fences are razed' (Proverbs 24:30-31) — entropy's botany: neglect does not hold ground, it loses it to riot. The observer's response is the proverb's point: 'I saw, and set my heart upon it; I looked, and received instruction' — a little sleep, a little slumber, and poverty arrives like a bandit (Proverbs 24:32-34). Vineyards, souls, and churches obey the same physics: untended is not preserved but invaded (Song 1:6; Hebrews 2:1-3; Matthew 13:25).

to be overgrown
to riot with weeds

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Proverbs 24:31 (if you should let it go, it shall be barren and become entirely overgrown; and it becomes abandoned, and its fences of stones shall be razed).

Verb — to deliver oracles, speak prophecy (χρησμός, oracle, + λέγω; kin of the base χρῆσις by stock — both from χράομαι). The indictment that put Jeremiah in the pit: 'Let that man be done away with... for this man does not oracle peace to this people, but only evils' (Jeremiah 38:4) — the true prophet prosecuted for the content of his oracles, in a market glutted with peace-sayers: 'they healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, Peace, peace — and there is no peace' (Jeremiah 6:14; 28:8-9). The charge — weakening the hands of the men of war — is treason's reading of intercession; the same prosecution-grammar meets the greater Prophet: 'he stirs up the people' (Luke 23:2, 5). Oracles are not audited by comfort but by fulfillment (Deuteronomy 18:22; Jeremiah 39:1-2).

χρόα (chroa)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the skin's surface, complexion, color (kin of χρώς, skin; the ABP files it on the χρίω slot by numbering only). The second sign at the bush: Moses' hand drawn out leprous as snow, then returned to the bosom and brought out 'restored to the complexion of his flesh' (Exodus 4:6-7). The sign's grammar: the God who sends can blight and restore the messenger's own flesh at will — power over leprosy being, in Israel's later shorthand, God's alone (2 Kings 5:7). So when a leper is cleansed by a touch and a word (Matthew 8:2-3), the bush's credential is being shown in person; and the sign's original point stands for every stammering messenger — 'who made man's mouth?... I will be with your mouth' (Exodus 4:11-12).

complexion
skin-surface

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 4:7 (and he brought it out of his bosom, and again it was restored unto the complexion of his flesh).

χρυσαυγέω (chrysaugeō)

Elihu's last meteorology before the whirlwind: 'From the north come clouds gleaming like gold; in these is the great glory and honor of the Almighty' (Job 37:22) — the storm-light announced as advent, and one verse later 'the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind' (Job 38:1). Gold-shot cloud is theophany's livery: the brightness of Ezekiel's north-storm 'as amber out of the midst of the fire' (Ezekiel 1:4), rays from His hand at Habakkuk 3:3-4, the Majestic Glory of the holy mountain (2 Peter 1:17). Splendor precedes speech; the God who is light announces Himself in it (1 Timothy 6:16; Psalm 104:2).

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Exodus 25:18 (you shall make two cherubim wrought in gold — and you shall place them at both sides of the atonement-seat); Exodus 37:7 (the parallel record of the making — two cherubim wrought in gold, set at the two ends of the atonement-seat).

χυδαῖος (chydaios)

(khee-DEH-oss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Adjective — poured out in floods, teeming, spread abroad (from χέω, to pour; the ABP files it on the χρώς slot by numbering only). Exodus' opening demography: 'the sons of Israel grew and multiplied, and became teeming, and grew exceedingly, exceedingly strong — and the land multiplied them' (Exodus 1:7) — six verbs of increase, Genesis 1:28 and the Abrahamic star-count (Genesis 15:5) executing themselves in Goshen. The very flood of blessing triggers the empire's fear and the first genocide-policy (Exodus 1:9-10, 16) — and the blessing out-breeds the oppression: 'the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied' (Exodus 1:12). Grace at flood-stage is not containable by decree (Acts 7:17-19; 12:24).

teeming
poured out abroad

Septuagint usage

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an outpouring, flood-expanse (from χέω, to pour; the ABP files it on the χρώς slot by numbering only). Solomon's endowment measured in coastline: 'the LORD gave Solomon intellect and exceedingly great wisdom, and an expanse of heart as the sand by the sea' (1 Kings 4:29) — the simile lifted from the seed-promise (Genesis 22:17) and applied to the interior of one mind: breadth of heart as the covenant's newest geography. The largeness immediately spends itself outward — proverbs, songs, botany from cedar to hyssop, and audiences from all peoples (1 Kings 4:32-34). Wisdom's expanse remains God's to give and to exceed: 'if any lacks wisdom, let him ask' (James 1:5) — and 'a greater than Solomon is here' (Matthew 12:42; Colossians 2:3).

outpoured expanse
largeness (of heart)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: 1 Kings 4:29 (and the LORD gave intellect to Solomon, and exceedingly great wisdom, and an increase of heart as the sand by the sea).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — an earthen cooking pot. Manna was boiled in it; Eli's sons robbed it with the three-pronged fork; Micah turns it to horror — rulers who chop the people "as flesh within the pot."

Noun — a footed cooking-pot, pot on legs (χύτρα, earthen pot, + πούς, foot; the ABP files it on the χρώς slot by numbering only). From the carcass-contamination rules: whatever a dead swarmer falls upon is unclean — 'ovens and footed pots shall be demolished; unclean they are, and unclean they shall be to you' (Leviticus 11:35). Holiness legislated to kitchen-hardware: the clay that absorbs defilement is broken rather than rinsed (Leviticus 6:28; 15:12), teaching by crockery that some contamination is not surface-deep. The trajectory runs to the day the distinction graduates: every pot in Jerusalem 'holy to the LORD of Hosts' (Zechariah 14:20-21), vessels for honor sanctified for every good work (2 Timothy 2:21).

footed pot
legged cooking-pot

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 11:35 (and everything upon which any of their carcasses should fall shall be unclean — ovens and pots with feet shall be demolished; unclean these are, and they shall be unclean to you).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to be lame, go lame, limp. Mephibosheth lamed in the flight at five years old — and Elijah's Carmel challenge built on the same verb: "how long will you go limping on both hocks?"

χωμαρίμ (chōmarim)

(kho-mah-REEM)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Hebrew loanword — kemarim, the idolatrous priesthood (Hebrew kemarim, the black-robed shrine-priests; the ABP transliterates; the slot sits beside χωλός by numbering only). Josiah's purge, item one after the Asherah: 'he incinerated the kemarim whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places... and the ones burning incense to Baal, and to the sun, and to the moon, and to the Mazuroth, and to all the host of heaven' (2 Kings 23:5). The term is reserved in Scripture for illegitimate clergy only (Hosea 10:5; Zephaniah 1:4 — 'I will cut off the name of the kemarim with the priests') — an ordination the LORD never gave, ended by a king who had just heard the book read (2 Kings 23:2-3; Deuteronomy 13:5).

Verb — to embank, fortify with a mound (from χῶμα, earthen mound; the ABP files it on the χωλός slot by numbering only — the perfect participle here, 'the mounded cities'). The northern campaign's restraint-clause: 'all the cities fortified on their mounds Israel did not burn — except Hazor alone Joshua burned' (Joshua 11:13), Hazor because it was 'the head of all those kingdoms' (Joshua 11:10). The tells were left standing and inhabitable: the conquest handed over 'great and goodly cities you did not build' (Deuteronomy 6:10-11) — judgment and inheritance in one act, ruin measured, provision preserved. And Joshua 'left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses' (Joshua 11:15) — the obedience-audit that anticipates a completer 'It is finished' (John 19:30; 17:4).

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Joshua 11:13 (but all their cities being fortified by a mound Israel did not burn; except Hazor only Joshua burned).

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a casting, molten founding (from χωνεύω, to smelt). The word serves both sanctuaries and their rival: the hundred talents of silver cast into the sockets of the tabernacle — grace by weight — and Isaiah's verdict on the founders of idols: their molten casting is emptiness, works of futility.

Syncretism's complete invoice: Yahweh's name, a hired craftsman, a private shrine, a freelance Levite (Judges 17:12-13) — every element sincere, every element forbidden (Exodus 20:4, 23; Deuteronomy 12:8). The narrator's refrain explains the era: 'no king in Israel; each man did what was right in his own eyes' (Judges 17:6) — worship self-designed is idolatry with good intentions (Proverbs 14:12; Colossians 2:23).

smelter
founder

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Judges 17:4 (and his mother took two hundred pieces of the silver, and gave them to the smelterer, and he made it into a carving and molten image; and it was in the house of Micah).

Definition

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

The pilgrim's confession of the Torah-psalm: 'your statutes were my songs in the place of my sojourning' (Psalm 119:54) — law experienced as lyric: what others carry as code, the exile carries as repertoire, hummable in a strange land where formal worship is far (contrast Psalm 137:4 — 'how shall we sing the LORD's song?' — this psalmist found the way: sing the statutes themselves). Delight is the psalm's whole engine (Psalm 119:14, 47, 97), and the NT keeps the practice: the word of Christ dwelling richly 'in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs' (Colossians 3:16), sojourners singing their statutes till home (1 Peter 2:11; Acts 16:25).

For he is good, for his mercy endures forever — and the house was filled with the cloud of the glory of the LORD' (2 Chronicles 5:13), so that the priests could not stand to minister (2 Chronicles 5:14). The order matters: unison praise of the covenant mercy, then glory. The refrain is Israel's oldest anthem (Psalm 136; Ezra 3:11), and the filled house is the trajectory's waypoint between Sinai's tent (Exodus 40:34) and the temple of living stones indwelt at Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4; Ephesians 2:21-22).

Noun — a fine pile-carpet, napped robe (the substantive of ψιλός, bare — a weave smooth on one side; the ABP prints it of Achan's prize mantle; the slot sits beside ψιθυριστής by numbering only). The confession at Achor: 'I saw among the spoils one goodly fine robe, and two hundred double-drachmas of silver, and one wedge of gold — and I coveted them, and I took, and behold, they are hidden in the earth in my tent' (Joshua 7:21). The verbs are Eden's: saw, coveted, took, hid (Genesis 3:6-8) — the fall re-enacted in one soldier at the nation's first defeat, desire's full cycle documented (James 1:14-15). What is buried under a tent is not hidden from the LORD who 'will bring to light the hidden things' (Joshua 7:14; 1 Corinthians 4:5); the covering that actually works is the one God provides (Psalm 32:1, 5).

Both extremes are pagan liturgies of grief and display (Leviticus 21:5, 10; Deuteronomy 14:1); the LORD's ministers are marked by neither excess nor neglect but by ordered consecration — visible moderation as vestment (1 Corinthians 11:4-16 keeps hair in theology's reach; 1 Timothy 3:2's 'sober-minded' is the office's same line).

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — the flank, loin-muscle. The court-history's fatal spot: Asahel, Abner, and Amasa each struck "in the flank" — three deaths that trail blood through David's reign — and the penitent's ache in Psalm 38: "my flanks are filled with burning."

flank, loin-muscle

G5589.2

ψόγος (psogos)

(PSO-ghos)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — blame, fault, an evil report. Joseph's report of his brothers' fault — and the terror-on-every-side pairing of psalm and prophet: the blame of many heard by David in Psalm 31 and by Jeremiah at the height of his persecution.

blame, fault
evil report

Septuagint usage

3 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Genesis 37:2 (Joseph, seventeen years old, shepherding the flock with his brothers — and he brought against them a report of evil fault to Israel their father); Psalms 31:13 ("for I heard the blame of many — terror on every side — as they took counsel together against me, they plotted to take my life"); Jeremiah 20:10 ("for I heard the blame of many gathering around — 'terror on every side! denounce him, and we will denounce him!' — all my trusted friends watching for my fall").

G5589.3

ψοφέω (psopheō)

(pso-FEH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to make a thud, stamp. Ezekiel's gesture-commands: 'clap the hand and stamp the foot' over the abominations of Israel — and the indictment of Ammon, who clapped and stamped and rejoiced over the land's fall. The prophet's grief-gesture and the enemy's glee-gesture share one verb, and God reads the difference.

to stamp
to thud

Septuagint usage

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezekiel 6:11 (thus says the LORD — clap the hand, and stamp the foot, and say, Well done! over all the abominations of the house of Israel); Ezekiel 25:6 (because you clapped your hand, and stamped with your foot, and rejoiced with your soul against the land of Israel — therefore I will stretch out My hand against you).

G5589.4

ψόφος (psophos)

(PSO-foss)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — noise, din, rumble (the ABP files it on the ψιχίον slot by numbering only). Micah's word-play dirge reaches Lachish: 'the noise of chariots and horsemen! Inhabitant of Lachish — she is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for in you were found the impieties of Israel' (Micah 1:13). Lachish was Judah's arsenal-city, the second fortress of the realm — and the prophet indicts the sound itself: the rumble of military hardware as the on-ramp by which arms-trust entered Zion. 'Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and trust in chariots because they are many' (Isaiah 31:1); the psalter had already chosen sides of the noise — 'these in chariots and these in horses, but we will call on the name of the LORD our God' (Psalm 20:7; Zechariah 9:10 retires the sound altogether).

noise
din (of chariots)

Septuagint usage

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Micah 1:13 (a noise of chariots and ones riding. Inhabitant of Lachish, she is the head of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in you they found the impious deeds of Israel).

(pseek-TEER)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Noun — a wine-cooler, cooling vessel. Both occurrences stand in one line of Cyrus's inventory: the temple vessels counted back out of Babylon — gold coolers and silver — the sacred service-ware returning home as the first installment of restoration.

2 occurrences in the LXX Reference interlinear: Ezra 1:9 (twice — and this is their number: thirty gold wine-coolers, and a thousand silver wine-coolers, nine and twenty knives).

David's self-chosen title before Saul, twice: "after whom do you pursue — after a dead dog, after one flea?" and again at Hachilah, "the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea." The anointed man disarms a king by naming himself the least thing that hops.

ψωραγριάω (psōragriaō)

(pso-rah-gree-AH-o)

Definition

Septuagint (Apostolic Bible Polyglot) extension number — a Greek OT word absent from the NT Strong's list. Verb — to have wild mange, chronic scab (ψώρα, itch-scab, + ἄγριος, wild; the ABP files it on the ψωμίον slot by numbering only). From the sacrificial blemish-roster: 'blind, or broken, or tongue-cut, or wart-troubled, or with chronic mange, or having lichen-scabs — you shall not bring these to the LORD, nor give of them as a yield-offering on the altar' (Leviticus 22:22). The altar's admission standards are diagnostic to the skin condition: nothing chronically diseased may stand in for the offerer, because the substitute's soundness is the theology (Malachi 1:8, 13-14). The roster's long discipline of the eye was training for one recognition: 'a lamb without blemish and without spot' (1 Peter 1:19; Hebrews 9:14).

to have chronic mange
to be scab-ridden

1 occurrence in the LXX Reference interlinear: Leviticus 22:22 (blind, or broken, or with the tongue cut out, or troubled with warts, or chronic mange, or having scabs — they shall not bring these to the LORD; and for a yield offering you shall not give of them upon the altar to the LORD).
