Subject: Greek use of koinos and akathartos |
Bible Note: Greetings MJH! Brother, I apologize. I seem to have left out one occurrence of 'koinos' in the LXX. It is also used in Prov. 15:23. Let me see if I can track the word in the translation. Using the ASV, koinos is translated as: Prov. 1:14 - 'one' purse. The word enclosed in '' represents the word translated from 'koinos'. Prov. 15:23 - This one is tough. I just did a quick translation of the LXX, but it does not seem to match the Hebrew translations we have. It reads something like 'and a good in common'. The NASB translates the phrase 'a timely word'. Prov. 21:9 - "in a house 'shared' with" Prov. 25:24 - same as above. Common, in the sense of 'shared' would fit all except 15:23. I am not sure how it is being used in that verse. But, none of the verses seem to use 'koinos' in the sense of impure or unclean. Let me know what you find in your research and I will do the same (if I get time to dig some more)! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
