Hatch & Redpath is the standard, and only, reference concordance for the Septuagint & Apocrypha. No other comparable work exists, and though a day may come where a digital or online resource may arise, this is currently the only tool of it's kind. As a pastor, I came to use this when researching the prior historical use of New Testament vocabulary in the LXX.

Either you need it or you don't.

That's all that can be said about these volumes. If you are a student of the Greek Old Testament (the Septuagint, or LXX), there is no substitute. No other substantial concordance of the LXX has ever been compiled. And it cites all three of the major uncial copies, B, A, and א. Plus it makes a valiant attempt to show the Hebrew equivalent for each Greek word.

This doesn't make it a perfect volume. We now have edited texts of most LXX books, and Hatch & Redpath isn't a concordance for those. And the Hebrew equivalences are sometimes dubious. And there are a number of very important LXX manuscripts which aren't cited. Someday, when all those resources are combined into an electronic database, Hatch & Redpath will be obsolete. But for now, no one is in a hurry to replace it. If you study the LXX, you need this volume. It's as simple as that.… (mais)
