Brian,
Louw & Nida:
10.39 pertaining to someone who is born out of wedlock and is thus without
legal status or rights illegitimate, bastard.¹ He 12:8. There may,
however, be some serious problems involved in translating noqoi in He 12:8,
especially if noqoi must be rendered in some languages as sons whose
parents are not married,¹ for noqoi occurs here in a highly figurative
passage speaking of God as one¹s parent. It may, therefore, be necessary to
employ an expression such as this means you are not his real sons¹ or
not sons who truly belong to him.¹
LXX use:
LEH:
noqos,-h,-on+ A 0-0-0-0-1-1
Wis 4:3
illegitimate (of plants)
Cf. LARCHER 1984, 320; >NIDNTT
This is not the word used to render MAMZER in the LXX or in 1Enoch. In
1Enoch 10:9 we read epi tous mazhreous where the Hebrew term is just
borrowed.
In the LXX
Deut. 23:3 ek pornhs
Zech. 9:6 ajllogeneis
