Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint

Based on the success of the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible (LHI), Logos will pursue the Septuagint interlinear with a similar structure. Standard interlinears typically provide a translation gloss of a particular word. The Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint, however, takes advantage of its digital environment to offer multiple layers of English glosses that reflect the complexity of the Greek language structure. The Libronix version will offer two levels of interlinear translation. The first is the lexical value, which is a gloss of the lexical or dictionary form of the word. The second is the English literal translation, a contextually sensitive gloss of the inflected form of the word. The difference in these glosses is subtle, but powerful. The first gloss answers the question, “What does this word mean?” The second gloss answers the question, “What does this word mean here?”

In addition, the underlying Greek text (Rahlf’s edition of the LXX) will be fully morphologically tagged, including dictionary forms of words (lemmas) for easy lookup in standard Greek lexical tools.

Updates to the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint

Because we want to get more content to you sooner, we are releasing the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint in various stages of completion.

More content has become available, and we have updated the resource. If you already own a copy of the Lexham Greek-English Interlinear Septuagint, then all you need to do is run the resource auto-update script.

There are two stages of completion. The first is a “draft” stage, which represents the finished draft from the translator, supplied to Logos. The second stage is an “edited” stage, in which the general editor has reviewed and edited the draft-stage translation.

In the below lists, all available books are listed in their current stage.

If a title is bold, then it is new to that stage. So Genesis, Numbers, Job, Zechariah and Malachi are new to the edited stage; they were in a draft stage in the previous release. And Judith, II Maccabees, III Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon and Jonah are new books altogether (added to the draft stage).

Books in an edited status are as follows:

• Genesis
• Exodus
• Numbers
• Ruth
• Job
• Psalms
• Additional Psalm (Psalm 151)
• Proverbs
• Ecclesiastes
• Song of Solomon
• Obadiah
• Haggai
• Zechariah
• Malachi
• Letter of Jeremiah

The following books are in draft status:

• Judith
• II Maccabees
• III Maccabees
• Wisdom of Solomon
• Psalms of Solomon
• Jonah
• Jeremiah
• Baruch
• Lamentations
• Ezekiel

As more content becomes available, we will update and re-release the updated resource so that registered users can have the latest material available—of course, at no additional charge.
