This indispensable tool for biblical scholars is new and improved. This classic reference is designed to be a complete concordance to the Septuagint version of the Old Testament, to the Greek text of the apocryphal books, and to the remains of the other versions that formed part of Origen's Hexapla. The objective aims at in the quotations for each word, as far as possible, to have enough of the context to show the grammatical construction of the word and the words with which it is ordinarily associated. New features of this concordance include: the addition of a Hebrew/Aramaic Index to the Septuagint by Takamitsu Muraoka. This index identifies the various Greek words used to translate each Hebrew or Aramaic word, a new introductory essay by Robert A. Kraft and Emmanuel Tov that addresses the history and abiding value of the concordance while also providing suggestions for its use, and the additions and corrections, originally appearing in three separate locations, have been brought together and identified in the text of the concordance with symbols that alert the user to consult the list. Also, a comprehensive list of abbreviations used throughout the concordance has been compiled as an aid to the user. Since the contexts are in Greek only, you must be able to read biblical Greek to use this concordance. |
