Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint: H.B. Swete Edition
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint is a new lexicon to aid your study of the Old Testament in Greek. It can serve as a compendium to any Septuagint text, but it is specifically based on The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint: H.B. Swete Edition (Swete LXX). Every lemma used in the Swete LXX is included as an entry in the present volume. As an electronic resource for use exclusively in Logos Bible Software, this is a truly powerful tool that can be utilized alongside the many other features in the software. Consequently, this volume is the first of its kind in the world of Septuagint studies.
As with the The Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Greek New Testament, it is our hope that The Lexham Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint enriches your study of the Scriptures in the original Greek.
Key Features
Using data curated for the Swete LXX, we created a lexicon with features that will maximally benefit the Bible scholar:
- A formal equivalent definition for each entry, along with the number of times the lemma is used in the Swete LXX
- A lemma-tagged headword that can jump-start a Bible word study in Logos from the right-click menu
- The abbreviations +NT and +AF to mark lemmas that occur in the New Testament or the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, respectively
- Hebrew and Aramaic equivalent lemmas based on the Swete LXX to Lexham Hebrew Bible reverse interlinear, along with an English gloss, frequency of occurrence, and example references
- English glosses of Greek lemmas where the word is used in one of the deuterocanonical books that have no Hebrew or Aramaic equivalent, along with frequency of usage and example references
- A comprehensive table of all morphological inflections of the lemma (as found in the LXX), the parsing of the inflection using Logos Greek Morphology, the number of occurrences of each inflection, and a link back to the primary entry
- Inflections and corresponding morphological abbreviations that are organized as they might be in conjugation and declension tables found in typical Greek grammars
