Re: Common Hebraisms in LXX Greek?

Following up on my previous question which Jason answered, I was wondering if someone has put together a list of common Hebraisms in the LXX that can help me in my reading of the LXX. Perhaps it's too detailed, but it sounds like you would appreciate Conybeare & Stock's Grammar of Septuagint Gr...

Re: "Doubled" verbs in Gen 15:13 and 16:10

This is simply in imitation of the Hebrew infinitive absolute, which is a verbal intensifier (most of the time). So, in Hebrew, those verses that say “you shall surely die” actually have “dying you shall die” (מוֹת תָּמוּת). The LXX imitates this form by using a participle with the finite verb.

This is the only B-Greek forum that has ever existed. Are you talking about the old LISTSERV? If so, why not check the archive?

Re: Hymn to Aphrodite

I’d assume that it’s from the following, taken from BrillDAG:
ῥᾰ epic and lyr. encl. partic., see ἄρα | in trag. (lyr.) ἦ ῥα certainly AESCHL. Pers. 633 SOPH. Ai. 172; ἤ ῥα SOPH. Ai. 177.
It’s enclitic, which would also explain why the accent on αἵ is acute (αἵ ῥα → αἵ ῥ᾿).

Re: ἄν in Gen 12:1

Perhaps it serves to distinguish between δείξω “I will show” (future indicative) and δείξω “I should show” (aorist subjunctive). It could also make the clause less specific (“the specific land that I will show you” versus “the land (whichever it is) that I might show you”). Smyth covers the uses of...

Re: Ιησους-paradigmn

Is this attic influence in the “biblical”-Greek ? Or might there be some other reason for this difference. Do you have statistics for the Septuagint? I don’t recall a ιησουτ- stem of the name of Joshua in the LXX, and I would assume that the authors of the NT used the LXX as a linguistic template o...

Re: Mark 14:67 participles

Ah, thank you Jason, now I think I understand circumstantial participles better. If I understand this correctly, the subject of the participles ἰδοῦσα and ἐμβλέψασα is the identical to a constituent (μία τῶν παιδισκῶν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως) of the matrix clause (Καὶ ὄντος τοῦ Πέτρου κάτω ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ ἔρχεται...

Re: Mark 14:67 participles

The subject of both ἔρχεται and λέγει must be μία τῶν παιδισκῶν τοῦ ἀρχιερέως . The two participles are contingent on the verb λέγει . It is odd that the two participles are not joined with any conjunction, but it is not unheard-of. The normal process of substantivization would require the use of a...

Re: Text Comparison. - Same/Similar English Words - Two Greek Words - One a Noun - One a Verb

It’s about the function of the word in the sentence. A verb normally takes a subject and often completes itself with some kind of adjunct. The boy hits a ball. The subject or object of a verb is expressed as a noun. The boy earned three hits in the game. In the case of these words: “The renewal of ...
