In Job 9:9 the idea has already occurred as ταμιεῖα νότου, “chamber of the south/south-wind”. As this southern “chamber” is not a Greek ideaWell there is ἕδρα (hédra) cf. חדר ἕδρα (LSJ)sitting place, seat, chair, in pl, quarters of the sky in which o…
Yeah, I had a post written up about the earlier πεπηγμένος, but happily Chad’s post covered it first.I can get closer to the spelling, if you’d like.So αναγκη βιαια – irresistible necessity – would be great, but you would have to imagine a dropped ver…
Question: Is there a concordance of the Greek New Testament that’s similar in style to the Hatch and Redpath Concordance of the Septuaguint? i.e. which lists in alphabetical order every Greek word (including stop words which Perseus doesn’t index) fou…
Hi Joel, I don’t have a facsimile of the manuscript itself, but maybe it’s online: if anyone wanted to track it down, the 1983 critical edition describes manuscript C as sitting in the National Library of Austria, ref. ‘hist. gr. 63’, dated 1319, on p…

The Septuagint’s occasional use of apparent indicative is a different phenomenon.And apparently here too, as Acts 7:7 turns the Septuagint’s ᾧ ἐὰν δουλεύσωσιν into indicative “δουλεύσουσιν”.Statistics: Posted by jeidsath — Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:25 pm

Here’s my translation of 2Th 2:1-12, with some notes. It makes a bit more sense to me now than the last time I looked at it. Hopefully it will make even more sense the next time I run across it, however many years from now. But who knows?Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑ…
Hmm, I’m not sure it’s reported speech as I think maybe φησὶν here is intentional i.e. “The transgressor thinks (resolves) to sin” as per LSJ II b. And I was thinking that αὐτοῦ in ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ is “self” here, so ἐδόλωσεν ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ is “he disguis…
The 16th line up. It has lines over ΠΝΑ and ΘΣ as before.In English I say, “water is wet and in water we become wet.” In Greek, “ὑγρὸν τὸ ὕδωρ καὶ ἐν ὕδατι ὑγραζόμεθα”. ὕδωρ is water when it’s the subject of a sentence and ὕδατι is water when it comes…
Hi Michael yes I also have BAGD on my bookshelf and consult it from time to time. Having read through Mark and Matthew in the GNT I’m now slowly working through Psalms in the LXX and when I hit an unfamiliar word I check different lexicons in the foll…
Well, yes. More specifically, in such documents I don’t think there’s any difference between επιστασθαι and ειδεναι. His “not knowing letters” just means he ’s illiterate, can neither read nor write. The two went together in the education system. They…
I see we have ἀλλ’ ἢ not only in 4 but already in 2, and it’s well attested in the Septuagint. It’s an oddity—seemingly no different from simple ἀλλά in sense, though it’s sometimes said to be “stronger.” I think there may well have been some sort of …

IMHO, I don’t think there is need to read anything more into the word here than that a causation, that is “to cause to happen.” Perhaps, & probably, to actively & proactively cause something to happen. the following came to my remembrance:ὅσ…
I had a very similar thought to mwh about its unintelligibility, and was casually trying to figure it out during the sermon at church this morning, having looked up the context on TLG just before. There appears to be a divine voice of some kind talkin…
Instead of τυφών the better word might be συστροφή a sudden storm.Job 37:9ἀπὸ Ὑδρᾶς βαίνουσα συστροφή καὶ ἀπὸ Κυνοσούρας ψῦχος”From Hydra comes the storm and from Cynosura the cold”or / ἀπὸ Κυνοσούρας βορέᾱς “From Cynosura the north wind” ?Statistics:…
Thanks that makes sense Joel. The NETS which translates from the Septuagint has:Not so, the impious, not so!Rather, they are like the dust that…And the LSJ entry for ἤ has this under the heading B. COMPARATIVE: after Advbs. or adverbial phrases, πλή…
That particular story is original with Matthew, I suspect, and the usage of δηνάριον in Mark would be sufficient to explain Matthew’s word choices, as Matthew is trying to both retell and imitate Mark. Besides, Matthew is writing late, after the 70 A….
