Hello Folks,
One day when I was out work and didn't have much to do, I decided to
search by hand through the entire critical apparatus of Rahlfs' LXX
looking for those lexemes that DO NOT appear in LEH. These words do not
appear in LEH, of course, because LEH was only meant to cover the
vocabulary of Rahlfs' TEXT and not the apparatus. The list below is
surprisingly short. I would have expected a hundred words or more, but
there are only 17. Following the list are some of my notes. Any errors
are my own.
ATRYGHTOS - not gathered; p. 133 Ex 27:20 A
DIALYTOS - relaxed, loose?; p. 151 Ex 36:30 A
DIANAFERW - offer up completely?; neol. p. 162 Lv 4:10 BA
DIARANTOS - thoroughly sprinkled, speckled, spotted; neol. p. 47 Gn 30:32
A
EKKLEIW+ - shut out, exclude, hinder; p. 124 Ex 23:2 B
ENTYPOW+ - carve in, engrave, imprint, impress; p. 151 Ex 36:37; 2Cor 3:7
A
EKSARTIZW+ - furnish, equip, supply; p. 133 Ex 28:7; 2Tim 3:17 BA
ESXARIS, -IDOS, hH - brazier; p. 138 Ex 30:3 A
hORKOW - make (one) swear, bind by oath; administer an oath; p. 34 Gn
24:37 S
PAIDIOQEN+ - from a child, from childhood; neol. p. 78 Gn 47:3; Mk 9:21 A
PANOIKI+ - with one's whole household; p. 86 Ex 1:1; Ac 16:34 (PANOIKEI)
B
SKEPW = SKEPAZW p. 130 Ex 26:7 A
SYNAIRW+ - raise or lift up together; p. 124 Ex 23:5 B
SYSKEYAZW - make ready, pack up; contrive; organize; win over?; p. 90 Ex
3:22 A
XAROPOIOS - gladdening, cheering (Brenton); p. 82 Gn 49:12 BA
XQES = EXQES p. 50 Gn 31:42 A
XRYSOTOREYTOS - embossed with gold; neol.? p. 128 Ex 25:18 B
None of these lexemes are found in LEH. Nor can they be found by doing a
search with computer software (I tried it with Bibleworks) for the same
reason that they aren't in LEH. But now we have them at last! Of course,
all of them, with possibly one exception, can be found in HR because they
draw their vocabulary from a number of manuscripts. The exception appears
to be hORKOW. HR only lists 4 Ki 11:4 and not Gn 24:37. I don't know
whether the error lies with HR or Rahlfs. One of them must be wrong.
The '+' after some entries indicates that this word is also to be found
in the NT. The definitions come from my search of the standard lexical
sources. In each case I give the first reference and page number in
Rahlfs where the lexeme is to be found. In some cases I also give a NT
reference. I then give the uncial ms(s) where the variant is to be found:
S=Sinaiticus
B=Vaticanus
A=Alexandrinus
I also indicate whether the entry is a neologism (neol.), IN MY OPINION,
according to the criteria given in LEH.
I think this list is pretty trustworthy, EXCEPT for the definitions. Each
of you who find this list helpful should do your own investigation into
the meaning of these 17 words.
Yours in His grace,
