The included passages generally fit one or more of the following criteria: they record key milestones in the history of Israel and Judah; they are particularly influential for the writers of the New Testament; they are helpful in providing the reader with the overall \"feel\" of a given biblical book. Select texts from the Apocrypha are included that will be interesting to non-specialist readers. The included passages cover all the major genres of the Old Testament: Pentateuch (16 texts), historical books (16 texts), poetry and proverbial books (17 texts), prophetic books (21 texts).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to facilitate natural and seamless reading of the text, every word occurring 100 times or fewer in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text (excluding proper names)--as well as every word that occurs more than 100 times in the Rahlfs-Hanhart text but fewer than 30 times in the Greek New Testament--is accompanied by a footnote that provides a contextual gloss for the word and (for verbs only) full parsing. Additionally, an appendix (glossary) provides a complete alphabetized list of common vocabulary (namely, all the words that are not accompanied by a footnote), with glosses and (as applicable) comparison of a word's usage in the Septuagint to its usage in the New Testament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of these combined features will make \u003ci\u003eSeptuaginta: An Abridged Reader's Edition\u003c\/i\u003e an indispensable resource for biblical scholars and an excellent tool for improving one's comprehension of the Greek language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gregory R Lanier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40699271807025,"sku":"9798400504693","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9798400504693.jpg?v=1780471223","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9798400504693_septuaginta-an-abridged-readers-edition","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
