Vocabulary of the Greek Testament:
Student Edition (VGNTS)

  • Muraoka opts for the latter approach: “we had best read the Septuagint as a Greek document and try to find out what sense a reader in a period roughly 250 B.C. Who was ignorant of Hebrew or Aramaic might have made of the translation” (viii).
  • As we can see this Stongs Plus Dictionary, does the same and also (greek to Hebrew and also Hebrew to Greek) much better. Strongs Plus Dictionary Greek Hebrew Equivalent.dctx.exe Other files you may be interested in.

‘Vocabulary of theGreek Testament: Student Edition’ is an update/revision of Moulton’s andMilligan’s ‘VGNT’ published 1924-1930. It is based on the 1929 printedition — which is now in the public domain — along with some supplemental material from the 1930 edition. However, it isnot merely an electronic reproduction of Moulton’s and Milligan’s book.While every attempt has been made to remain true to the original content ofVGNT, the VGNTS is an major update/revision designed to make Moulton’s andMilligan’s valuable resource more accessible to a wider English-speakingaudience — especially those whose knowledge of the Biblical languages is very basic, “rusty,” or non-existent.

A reading of theprint version of VGNT suggests that the original authors, Moulton and Milligan,presupposed that their intended audience would have a high level of understanding of the Greek language. Hopefully, theenhancements in the VGNTS version will help fill the gap for those whoseknowledge is somewhat less than they anticipated.

Moultons and Milliganspurpose for publishing the ‘The Vocabulary of the Greek Testament’ was todemonstrate that the language of the Greek New Testament was the common (Κοινή, Koinē) language used by peopleon the street. The source documents used aremostly papyri and inscriptions that were discovered in the 1800s and early1900s. These include such items as personal letters, court transcripts,marriage contracts, bills of sale, petitions, etc. These give us a facinatinglook into the daily lives of those who lived around the time when the NewTestament was written. The purpose of the ‘Vocabulary of the Greek Testament:Student Edition’ remains the same as that of Moulton and Milligan, except now with the enhancements it is more accessible to a much wider audience.

The followingenhancements have been made:

a. Eachlexical entry is keyed to Strongs numbers.This creates a hyperlink between this dictionary module and any Bible modulewith Greek text in theWord that is keyed to Strong’s. In cases where there is no corresponding Strong’snumber, the Greek word is listed in the index. In cases where the lexical formis different in VGNT than in Strong’s, the Strong’s form appearsafter the VGNT form inside brackets with a tilde at the beginning. Forexample, αἱμορροέω(~ αἱμορῥέω).

Septuagint

b. For each lexical entry theGreek wordis given, followed by a transliteration, the [page number] where the word occurs in the printedition, an asterisk(*) to indicate the entry has been updated/revised, and a gloss. For example, ἀγάπη[page 2]* [agapē, love].

c. Allinternal cross-references to VGNT other entries have been hyperlinked. Forexample, in the body of the text of G154ατωyou will see s.v.ρωτω[erōtaō, “to ask”].This word is hyperlinked to G2065ρωτω. Thereare over 500 such cross-references provided, thus making this module moreuseful and user-friendly.

d. Inline English translations are provided for all Greek text, as well as formost Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Latin, French and German text. A transliteration of some text is also provided, wheredeemed helpful.

e.Inall translations of Greek text, the corresponding word for the lexical entry isunderlined in both the Greek sentence and English translation. The intent tohelp the English reader understand how that word functions in the sentence.

f.All papyri and inscriptions cited by Moulton and Milligan were carefullychecked against available print and/or electronic sources. In some cases, latereditions (i.e., transcriptions) of certain papyri have become available thathave been emended by the editors differently than what is shown in VGNT. These arenoted in the footnotes, along with the later transcriptions.

g. Over460 new lexical entries are added as a result of papyri and inscriptionsdiscovered in the decades since Moulton and Milligan.

l. TheVGNTS includes exerts from books cited in the print edition of VGNT which isnow either out of print, no longer available, or very hard to find.Occasionally, Moulton and Milligan redirects the reader elsewhere, withoutproviding any additional information themselves on a particular word. Forexample, for the entry Κανά (Kana, “Cana”) theyhave only See F. C. Burkitt Syriac Forms,pp. 18f., 22.” In the VGNTS the information fromthose source cited is incorporated into the lexical entry where deemed helpful(See entry G2580).

m. Incases where the discussion on the particular form of a word centers around NTtext-critical issues, relevant information is provided in the footnotes.

n. Unfortunately, one of the greatest challenges for the student of papyrology andepigraphy is that sources are frequently listed under more that one catalogueidentifier. For example Syll 364 is no. 364 of the second edition ofDittenbergers Sylloge InscriptionumGraecarum. But it is also listed as Syll.3797, and again as IMT SuedlTroas 573. This can be confusing andfrustrating when attempting to look up a given source. This enhanced versionof VGNT addresses this challenge by providing several additional catalogueidentifiers inside square brackets. For example, Syll 364[=Syll.3 797 = IMTSuedlTroas 573].
