Strong S Dictionary And The Septuagint Annotated

This book is an abridged edition of Strong's Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries, which was taken from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance (1890) by James Strong (1822-1894). The changes I made are as follows. Only Greek definitions have been reproduced (the letter "A"). Etymologies and references to other Strong's entries have been removed. Archaic spellings have been modernized, misspellings corrected. Parts of speech and Bible references have been added from other sources. LXX references are from Alfred Rahlfs' Septuagint (1935). No apocryphal books are included, just one apocryphal chapter (Psalm 151). I compared the LXX with the Apostolic Bible Polyglot (1996) whenever I found errors. The appendix consists of words marked in the ABP but unmarked in the LXX. This book also contains an introduction, a list of abbreviations, and a bibliography. Many legends surround the creation of the Septuagint or the LXX ("seventy"), an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. Regardless of its origin, the document exists. This fact tells me one thing: God chose Israel to be a "light to the Gentiles" because he wants "the ends of the earth" to be saved (Isaiah 45:22, 49:6). Must everyone learn Hebrew, then? No. God speaks every language, even those now extinct. He inspired the creation of the Septuagint in order to prepare the way for the church, which received the Gentiles. Through both the Septuagint and the apostles' preaching, Gentiles were granted "access by one Spirit unto the Father" and became "fellow citizens with the saints" (Ephesians 2:18-19). Translation was thus the means by which God offered his salvation to the world.

A favorite for decades, Strong's numbering system is cross-referenced to many other important study tools. Now it's even easier to use! Newly typeset for clearer readability, it includes reorganized main entries, updated and improved Hebrew and Greek dictionaries, and handy indexing. Erratum: The table of contents lists a section on "Updated Edition Premium CD" on page xii. This section does not exist and a CD is not included.

The Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint provides a thorough research tool for the study of the Septuagint. It presents the vocabulary of the revised edition of the Septuagint, offering English equivalents and discussing special cases in which the Septuagint differs from the masoretic text.

With this fully corrected, updated version of the famous Strong's dictionary, Bible students and teachers have access to the famous Strong's Hebrew and Greek dictionaries in one volume. A completely new and exclusive English word index shows which Greek and Hebrew words are translated into specific English words and how often each translation occurs. This is the ultimate reference tool for pastors, scholars, students and those who enjoy word studies.

Strong's dictionary of Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic, like his concordance and dictionary of Biblical Greek, is a classic reference work for biblical studies and is accessible to the layperson. Each word in Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic is numbered, presented in Hebrew script and in transliteration and is accompanied by a pronunciation guide. Each word is defined, and the translation(s) of that word in the Authorized English Version are presented. Strong's work was originally published in 1890 under the title A Concise Dictionary of the Words in the Hebrew Bible.--Back cover.

"A vocabulary guide for the Septuagint, or Greek Old Testament, that presents vocabulary words according to their frequency of appearance within each biblical book, enabling readers to engage in targeted study of the words that occur in the specific biblical books that they wish to read in Greek"--

For New Testament students and scholars who want to fully exegete the Septuagint (LXX), this lexicon will be a welcome addition to their libraries. Used in conjunction with the New Testament (NT) lexicon they already possess, The Greek of the Septuagint: A Supplemental Lexicon will bridge the gap with additional information that's needed to translate the Septuagint. While those who have learned the Greek of the New Testament possess the grammatical skills necessary to read Septuagint Greek, the vocabulary found in the Septuagint differs sufficiently from both NT and Classical Greek to such a degree that a specialized lexicon is essential. Designed to supplement the BDAG, Chamberlain's lexical expertise provided here, lists definitions and lexical information for more than 5,000 Septuagint words not found in the New Testament, detailed discussions of contextual word meanings, Hebrew equivalents, and mistranslations, variant words not found in standard lexicons, and much more.

The Septuagint was the most influential Bible translation for Greek-speaking Christians of the first century and was the basis for many of the OT citations found in the NT. Taylor's lexicon includes every Greek word found in the Rahlfs LXX text in fully parsed form.
