This book-by-book vocabulary guide provides an unparalleled resource for anyone interested in more effective reading and study of the Old Testament in Greek, commonly called the Septuagint. Aside from two full-scale specialist lexicons for the Septuagint, no other printed resource exists that provides concise and strategic guidance to the language of this important ancient corpus. With word lists organized by frequency of appearance in a given book or section of the Septuagint, this guide allows users to focus their study efforts and thus more efficiently improve their breadth of knowledge of Koine vocabulary. Furthermore, the vocabulary incorporated into the lists in this guide integrates lower-frequency New Testament vocabulary in a manner that enables the user to easily include or exclude such words from their study. Other key features of this vocabulary guide include carefully crafted lists that allow users to refresh higher-frequency New Testament vocabulary, to strategically study higher-frequency vocabulary that appears across the Septuagint corpus, and to familiarize themselves with the most common proper nouns in the Septuagint. Moreover, each chapter in this guide has been statistically tailored to provide the word lists necessary to familiarize the user with 90 percent of the full range of vocabulary in each book or section of the Septuagint.

The Septuagint was the most influential Bible translation for Greek-speaking Christians of the first century and was the basis for many of the OT citations found in the NT. Taylor's lexicon includes every Greek word found in the Rahlfs LXX text in fully parsed form.
A Thorough, Accessible Introduction to the Greek Translation of the Old Testament Scholars and laypeople alike have stumbled over Bible footnotes about the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament. Many wonder, What is it? Why do some verses differ from the Hebrew text? Is it important to Scripture? In this introduction to the Septuagint, Gregory R. Lanier and William A. Ross clarify its origin, transmission, and language. By studying its significance for both the Old and New Testaments, believers can understand the Septuagint's place in Judeo-Christian history as well as in the church today.

Part I of this two-way index for the Septuagint shows which Hebrew/Aramaic word or words corresponds or correspond to a given Greek word in the Septuagint and how many times such an equation applies. This information was provided to a certain extent in the author's two earlier editions of the Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint (Leuven: Peeters, 1993, 2002). In its latest edition covering now the entire Septuagint, A Greek-English Lexicon of the Septuagint (Leuven: Peeters, 2009), this information has been totally deleted, and is presented here in its entirety. Part II enables scholars to see at a glance what Greek words were used by the Septuagint translators to translate the Hebrew and Aramaic words occurring in the Old Testament. This is an entirely revised version of the author's Hebrew/Aramaic Index to the Septuagint Keyed to the Hatch-Redpath Concordance (Grand Rapids, Michigan: Baker Books, 1998), now out of print. This replaced a Hebrew Index printed as an appendix to the Hatch-Redpath Concordance, which only gave page references of the Concordance for each Hebrew/Aramaic word. In order to find actual Greek words used to translate a given Hebrew/Aramaic word one had to leaf through the concordance itself. This is not a mere reprint of the 1998 Index. Both parts of this Index are based on an extensive, critical review of the data as presented in the Hatch-Redpath concordance. Moreover, it incorporates data totally left out of account by Hatch-Redpath such as the apocryphal book of 1Esdras and includes Dead Sea biblical manuscripts, not only manuscripts of the canonical books, but also an apocryphal book such as the Aramaic fragments of Tobit. Furthermore, the Index, just as the author's Lexicon, took into account data found in the alternative versions of books such as Daniel, Esther and Tobit, and the so-called Antiochene or Proto-Lucianic version of the books such as Judges, Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. The Index would be a valuable instrument for not only Septuagint specialists, but also scholars interested in Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic philology, the textual criticism of the Old Testament, and New Testament scholars. This is an essential companion volume for users of Hatch-Redpath's Concordance and the author's Septuagint Lexicon.
The Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of Jewish sacred writings) is of great importance in the history of both Judaism and Christianity. The first translation of the books of the Hebrew Bible (plus additions) into the common language of the ancient Mediterranean world made the Jewish scriptures accessible to many outside Judaism. Not only did the Septuagint become Holy Writ to Greek speaking Jews but it was also the Bible of the early Christian communities: the scripture they cited and the textual foundation of the early Christian movement. Translated from Hebrew (and Aramaic) originals in the two centuries before Jesus, the Septuagint provides important information about the history of the text of the Bible. For centuries, scholars have looked to the Septuagint for information about the nature of the text and of how passages and specific words were understood. For students of the Bible, the New Testament in particular, the study of the Septuagint's influence is a vital part of the history of interpretation. But until now, the Septuagint has not been available to English readers in a modern and accurate translation. The New English Translation of the Septuagint fills this gap.
