In regard to this topic, you need to see James Barr's vitriolic (but
essentially correct) _Semantics of Biblical Language_ and Moises Silva's
_Biblical Words and Their Meanings_.
Silva is easier to read, but both are incredibly valuable.

Subject: [B-Greek] LXX Greek vs NT Greek
Take a good look at Hatch & Redpath's concordance to the Septuagint. Some
Greek words translate a dozen different Hebrew words. At best, I would say
the Septuagint shows the semantic range of specific words.
