DICTIONARY

THE GREEK TESTAMENT;

WITH THEIR RENDERINGS

AUTHORIZED ENGLISH VERSION:

PREFACE

THIS work is entirely similar in origin, method, and design, to the author's HEBREW DICTIONARY, and may be employed separately, for a corresponding purpose and with a like result, namely, to be serviceable to many who have not the wish or the ability to use a more copious Lexicon of New Testament Greek. In this case also even scholars will find many suggestions and explanations not unworthy their attention.

PLAN OF THE BOOK

1. All the original words are treated in their alphabetical Hebrew order, and are numbered regularly from the first to the last, each being known throughout by its appropriate

number. This renders reference easy without recourse to the Hebrew characters

2. Immediately after each word is given its exact equivalent in English letters, according to the system of transliteration laid down in the scheme here following, which is

substantially that adopted in the Common English Version, only more consistently and uniformly carried out; so that the word could be readily be turned back again into Hebrew from the form thus given it.

3. Next follows the precise pronunciation, according to the usual English mode of

sounding syllables, so plainly indicated that none can fail to apprehend and apply it. The most approved sounds are adopted, as laid down in the annexed scheme of articulation, and in such a way that any good Hebraist would immediately recognize the word if so pronounce, notwithstanding the minor variations current among scholars in this respect.

4. Then ensues a tracing of the etymology, radical meaning, and applied signification of the word, justly but tersely analyzed and expressed, with any other important peculiarities in this regard.

5. In the case of proper names, the same method is pursued, and at this point the regular mode of Anglicizing it, after the general style of the Common English Version, is given, and a few words of explanation are added to identify it.

6. Finally (after the punctuation-mark :--) are given all the different renderings of the word in the Authorized English Version, arranged in the alphabetical order of the leading terms, and conveniently condensed according to the explanations given below.

By searching out these various renderings in the MAIN CONCORDANCE, to which this dictionary is designed as a companion, and noting the passages to which the same

number corresponding to that of any given Hebrew word is attached in the marginal column, the reader, whether acquainted with the original language or not, will obtain a complete Hebrew Concordance also, expressed in the words of the Common English Version. This is an advantage which no other Concordance or Lexicon affords.

SIGNS EMPLOYED

+ (addition) denotes a rendering in the A.V. of one or more Gr. words in connection with the one under consideration.

X (multiplication) denotes a rendering in the A.V. that results from an idiom peculiar to the Gr.

( ) (parenthesis), in the renderings from the A.V., denotes a word or syllable sometimes given in connection with the principle word to which it is annexed.

[ ] (bracket), in the rendering from the A.V., denotes the inclusion of an additional word in the Gr.

Itallics, at the end of a rendering from the A.V., denote an explanation of the variations from the usual form.

NOTE:

Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203-3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant. This will occasion no practical mistake or inconvenience.
