Actually BAGD only has SOME of the LXX words (those that reoccur in the NT
and the Apostolic Fathers). The only real lexicon to the LXX is _A
Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint_, by J. Lust, E. Eynikel and K.
Hauspie published in two volumes (1992, 1996) by Deutsche Bibelgellschaft.
Most of us use this and supplement it with Liddel and Scott.
