71-451: With the use of the concordant method of translation, the CPC endeavored to recognize the importance of the vocabulary of Scripture, keeping distinct the words used in the original languages by giving each Greek word—as far as is possible—its own unique and consistent English equivalent. While acknowledging that absolute consistency cannot be achieved in the making of an idiomatic English version,

142-416: A prosthetic weak consonant, allowing roots with only two true consonants to be conjugated in the manner of a standard three consonant Semitic root. In most Hebrew dialects as well as Syriac, the aleph is an absence of a true consonant, a glottal stop ( [ ʔ ] ), the sound found in the catch in uh - oh . In Arabic, the alif represents the glottal stop pronunciation when it is the initial letter of

213-483: A Franciscan friar, Mario di Calasio , was published in 1621 and 1622 in four volumes. Both these works were several times reprinted, while another Hebrew concordance of the sixteenth century, by Elias Levita , said to surpass Nathan's in many respects, remained in manuscript. Nathan and Calasio arranged the words according to the Hebrew roots, the derivatives following simply according to the order in which they occur in

284-499: A Greek text which gives the readings of the three most ancient codices: Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, and Sinaiticus, generally referred to as A, B, and the Hebrew letter Aleph (which the CPC designates as s ), and readings from other sources. The CPC decided to base its comparisons on Weymouth's Resultant Greek Text . Richard Francis Weymouth based his text on editors of the nineteenth century: Lachmann, Tregelles, Tischendorf, Lightfoot, Weiss, Alford, Ellicott, Stockmeyer & Riggenbach,

355-476: A Latin K; a cursive Aramaic form he calls the "elaborated X-form", essentially the same tradition as the Hebrew reflex ; and an extremely cursive form of two crossed oblique lines, much like a simple Latin X. Hebrew spelling: אָלֶף ‎ In Modern Israeli Hebrew , the letter either represents a glottal stop ( [ ʔ ] ) or indicates a hiatus (the separation of two adjacent vowels into distinct syllables , with no intervening consonant ). It

426-599: A STANDARD English word. To facilitate a readable English translation, additional synonyms or other concordant variants are also used, as needed. In nearly all cases, any such standards, synonyms, and variants are used exclusively for a single word in the Original, thereby eliminating almost all "crosswiring" between languages ... It is such very principles of translation themselves, together with our many years of refining our efforts according to these principles, which distinguish our work, and its results, from that of others. In

497-640: A concordance to the deutero-canonical books and the Old Testament Apocrypha , and to the remains of the versions which form part of Origen of Alexandria 's Hexapla . The Hebrew equivalents of the Greek, when known, are also given. References to proper names are added in a supplement published in 1900. Bagster's "Handy Concordance to the Septuagint" (London, 1887) gives simply the references, without quotations. The earliest concordances to

568-659: A concordance to the deuterocanonical books of the Old Testament, which, however, is usually not reprinted. It was surpassed by three major concordances of the King James Version of the Bible, those of Robert Young , James Strong , and Walker. Others also followed. These were followed by a concordance based on the Douay–Rheims translation of the Bible preferred by Roman Catholics, A Textual Concordance of

639-413: A long time the standard. It corrected Buxtorf and brought it nearer to completeness, printed all Hebrew words with the vowel-points, and perfected the order of the derivatives. Every word is explained in Hebrew and Latin. Fürst excludes, however, the proper nouns, the pronouns, and most of the indeclinable particles, and makes many involuntary omissions and errors; his classification of roots is, according to

710-547: A word. In texts with diacritical marks, the pronunciation of an aleph as a consonant is rarely indicated by a special marking, hamza in Arabic and mappiq in Tiberian Hebrew. In later Semitic languages, aleph could sometimes function as a mater lectionis indicating the presence of a vowel elsewhere (usually long). When this practice began is the subject of some controversy, though it had become well established by

781-463: A word. Where alif acts as a carrier for hamza, hamza is added above the alif, or, for initial alif- kasrah , below it and indicates that the letter so modified is indeed a glottal stop, not a long vowel. A second type of hamza, hamzat waṣl ( همزة وصل ) whose diacritic is normally omitted outside of sacred texts, occurs only as the initial letter of the definite article and in some related cases. It differs from hamzat qaṭ‘ in that it

852-574: Is a concordance , or verbal index, to the Bible . A simple form lists Biblical words alphabetically, with indications to enable the inquirer to find the passages of the Bible where the words occur. Concordances may be for the original languages of the Biblical books, or (more commonly) they are compiled for translations. Friars of the Dominican order invented the verbal concordance of the Bible. As

923-672: Is almost complete. An abridged edition of it was published in 1900. A New Concordance of the Bible (full title A New Concordance of the Bible: Thesaurus of the Language of the Bible, Hebrew and Aramaic, Roots, Words, Proper Names Phrases and Synonyms) by Avraham Even-Shoshan is a concordance of the Hebrew text of the Hebrew Bible, first published in 1977. The source text used is that of the Koren edition of 1958. The first

994-452: Is elided after a preceding vowel. Alif is always the carrier. The alif maddah is a double alif, expressing both a glottal stop and a long vowel. Essentially, it is the same as a أا sequence: آ (final ـآ ) ’ā /ʔaː/ , for example in آخر ākhir /ʔaːxir/ 'last'. "It has become standard for a hamza followed by a long ā to be written as two alifs , one vertical and one horizontal." (the "horizontal" alif being

1065-572: Is printed in the ancient uncial letters as found in the most ancient manuscripts. The edition of the CLNT printed in 1966 reflects significant revision work and minor original translation work by Herman Rocke and Dean Hough. The 1976 edition, which is the current edition, contains further refinements. The 1936 book Studies in Paul's Epistle to the Romans by George Lawley Rogers is an in-depth examination of

1136-430: Is sometimes silent (word-finally always, word-medially sometimes: הוּא ‎ [hu] "he", רָאשִׁי ‎ [ʁaˈʃi] "main", רֹאשׁ ‎ [ʁoʃ] "head", רִאשׁוֹן ‎ [ʁiˈʃon] "first"). The pronunciation varies in different Jewish ethnic divisions . In gematria , aleph represents the number 1, and when used at the beginning of Hebrew years , it means 1000 (e.g. א'תשנ"ד ‎ in numbers would be

1207-558: Is the numeral 3 , or the Middle English character ȝ Yogh ; neither are to be preferred to the genuine Egyptological characters. Written as ا or 𐪑, spelled as ألف or 𐪑𐪁𐪐 and transliterated as alif , it is the first letter in Arabic and North Arabian . Together with Hebrew aleph, Greek Α and Latin A , it is descended from Phoenician ʾāleph , from a reconstructed Proto-Canaanite ʾalp "ox". Alif has

1278-456: Is used in word-initial position to mark a word beginning with a vowel, but some words beginning with i or u do not need its help, and sometimes, an initial alap/olaph is elided . For example, when the Syriac first-person singular pronoun ܐܸܢܵܐ is in enclitic positions, it is pronounced no/na (again west/east), rather than the full form eno/ana . The letter occurs very regularly at

1349-465: Is used to render a glottal stop /ʔ/ . In the Ge'ez alphabet , ʾälef አ appears as the thirteenth letter of its abjad. This letter is also used to render a glottal stop /ʔ/ . In set theory , the Hebrew aleph glyph is used as the symbol to denote the aleph numbers , which represent the cardinality of infinite sets. This notation was introduced by mathematician Georg Cantor . In older mathematics books,

1420-703: Is written in Egypt, Sudan and sometimes elsewhere. The letter is transliterated as y in Kazakh , representing the vowel / ə /. Alif maqsurah is transliterated as á in ALA-LC , ā in DIN 31635 , à in ISO 233-2, and ỳ in ISO 233 . In Arabic, alif maqsurah ى is not used initially or medially, and it is not joinable initially or medially in any font. However,

A comprehensive Hebrew concordance is that of Salomon Mandelkern (Leipzig, 1896), who rectified the errors of his predecessors and supplied omitted references. Though his own work has been shown to be frequently imperfect, still it

During the latter half of the nineteenth century the standard New Testament concordance was that of Bruder (Leipzig, 1842; 4th ed., 1888). Its main defect is that it was practically based on the textus receptus , though it aims, in its latest editions to give also

This volume of the Concordant Library contains every word and letter of A, B, s , Codex Vaticanus 2066 (046) for the Apocalypse, and some recently discovered fragments of Papyri. Variant readings in these manuscripts are shown in the Greek text, referred to as the super-linear. A uniform, hyper-literal word-for-word English sub-linear translation is given below the Greek text. The Greek text

The names of some of those who assisted Knoch during the various phases of the preparation work on the CLNT are as follows: Melville Dozier ( Superintendent of Schools in Los Angeles ), J. H. Breckenridge (Attorney for the Irvine Ranch ) who advised on legal matters, C. P. Wilcox of Long Beach , Horace M. Conrad of South Pasadena , who assisted with proofreading , Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Walker, who prepared

1775-506: The Hebrew word emet ( אֶמֶת ‎), which means truth . In Judaism, it was the letter aleph that was carved into the head of the golem that ultimately gave it life. Aleph also begins the three words that make up God's name in Exodus , I Am who I Am (in Hebrew , Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh אהיה אשר אהיה ), and aleph is an important part of mystical amulets and formulas. Aleph represents

Although it looks different from a regular alif , it represents the same sound /aː/ , often realized as a short vowel. When it is written, alif maqṣūrah is indistinguishable from final Persian ye or Arabic yā’ as it

Brant's work was frequently republished and in various cities. It served as

1988-539: The CLNT, the CPC utilizes special typographic devices in an effort to display the actual grammatical features of the Greek New Testament, rather than merely an interpretation of said features. These devices may be categorized as follows: (1) lightface and boldface type to indicate when an English word is inserted to complete the sense, (2) symbols for the verb, and (3) distinctive signs and abbreviations for other grammatical elements. Similar devices are used in

2059-470: The CVOT, in which boldface type, symbols and capital letters indicate the words actually found in the Hebrew text, and lightface type indicate English words added for clarity. Textual emendations are also noted. The extreme care taken by the CPC demonstrates the "high" view of Scriptural inspiration that guided its efforts. In the interests of neutrality and objectivity, it is a fair and truthful statement that

Then we seek to determine how we may best translate these same Scriptures, endeavoring to do so objectively, accurately, and consistently. Our translation principles, both of vocabulary and grammatical analysis, govern all that we do. We first seek to determine essence of word meaning; wherever possible, according to internal scriptural evidence. For each Greek word, then, we assign

It requires regular use and study to become familiar and comfortable with its exacting vocabulary and syntax, and competent in the use of its many features. The CLNT is not an "easy reader", and its compilers expected its users to have a good grasp of English, and an interest in concerted study rather than light reading. One may inspect

Therefore, with the exception of occasional idiomatic variants, each English word in the Concordant Version does exclusive duty for a single Greek or Hebrew word. Thus, according to the CPC, a substantial formal correspondence is maintained between the source languages and the receptor language. The CPC describes what distinguishes its work from that of others in an article titled About

2343-526: The English biblical concordance form. This work was regularly bound in to the rear of bibles printed in England from the mid-16th to early-17th century and remained the prevalent English concordance throughout this period, going through approximately thirty-one printings between 1589 and 1615. Prior to its retirement, a concordance by William Knight appeared in 1610, though this received only one printing. It

(However, there are few very rare examples of the Masoretes adding a dagesh or mappiq to an aleph or resh. The verses of the Hebrew Bible for which an aleph with a mappiq or dagesh appears are Genesis 43:26, Leviticus 23:17, Job 33:21 and Ezra 8:18.) In Modern Hebrew,

Their work (Basle, 1632) also contained many new words and passages previously omitted, and an appendix of all the Aramaic words in the Hebrew Bible; Baer's edition of Buxtorf (1847) added certain particles.

2627-481: The Holy Scriptures by Father Thomas David Williams, 1942. Since software has made the Bible available in electronic form and with thorough electronic indexes, hard-copy printed concordances have less application. Most scholars and Bible students rely instead on software. Due to Strong's numbers (see Strong's Concordance ) it became possible to translate concordances from one language into another. Thus,

The first Hebrew concordance ( Meïr Netib ) was the work of Isaac Nathan ben Kalonymus , begun in 1438 and finished in 1448. It was inspired by the Latin concordances to aid in defence of Judaism , and was printed in Venice in 1523. An improved edition of it by

It contained short quotations (see Saint-Omer, Bibliothèque municipale, p. 28 ) of the passages where a word was found. These were indicated by book and chapter (the division into chapters had recently been made by Stephen Langton ) but not by verses, which Robert Estienne would first introduce in 1545. In lieu of verses, Hugo divided each chapter into seven almost equal parts, indicated by

Another Dominican, John Stoicowic (also known as John of Ragusa), finding it necessary in his controversies to show

The early eighteenth century saw the publication of the most famous English concordance, Cruden's Concordance , by Alexander Cruden . First published in 1738, it reached several editions in his own lifetime and has been re-edited, abridged and reprinted repeatedly. Cruden's work is not a complete concordance, and omits especially many references to proper names, but his last edition had

However, the publishers of the American Standard Edition of the Revised Version (ASV) voiced objection, and Knoch reestablished the title as Concordant Version . From 1919 until 1926 the CV was issued in parts beginning with Revelation. The second edition was a pocket edition printed in 1927. The third revised edition (1931)

3479-405: The frequency of the usage of alef, out of all the letters, is 4.94%. Aleph is sometimes used as a mater lectionis to denote a vowel, usually /a/ . That use is more common in words of Aramaic and Arabic origin, in foreign names, and some other borrowed words. Aleph is the subject of a midrash that praises its humility in not demanding to start the Bible. (In Hebrew , the Bible begins with

3550-409: The highest frequency out of all 28 letters in the Arabic abjad . Alif is also the most used letter in Arabic. Alif is written in one of the following ways depending on its position in the word: The Arabic letter was used to render either a long /aː/ or a glottal stop /ʔ/ . That led to orthographical confusion and to the introduction of the additional marking hamzat qaṭ‘ ﺀ to fix

The Phoenician variant gave rise to the Greek alpha ( Α ), being re-interpreted to express not the glottal consonant but the accompanying vowel , and hence the Latin A and Cyrillic А . Phonetically , aleph originally represented the onset of a vowel at the glottis . In Semitic languages, this functions as

3692-546: The introduction to the Sixth edition of the Concordant Literal New Testament states that the CLNT, by being harmonious with the original texts, keeps to a minimum the confusion resulting from translating different Greek words with the same English word, or one Greek word with many English words. It is this principle of consistent or concordant translation which was also employed in the compilation of

3763-527: The late stage of Old Aramaic (ca. 200 BCE). Aleph is often transliterated as U+02BE ʾ MODIFIER LETTER RIGHT HALF RING , based on the Greek spiritus lenis ʼ ; for example, in the transliteration of the letter name itself, ʾāleph . The name aleph is derived from the West Semitic word for " ox " (as in the Biblical Hebrew word Eleph (אֶלֶף) 'ox' ), and the shape of

3834-432: The letter derives from a Proto-Sinaitic glyph that may have been based on an Egyptian hieroglyph , which depicts an ox's head. In Modern Standard Arabic , the word أليف /ʔaliːf/ literally means 'tamed' or 'familiar', derived from the root ʔ-L-F , from which the verb ألِف /ʔalifa/ means 'to be acquainted with; to be on intimate terms with'. In modern Hebrew, the same root ʔ-L-P (alef-lamed-peh) gives me’ulaf ,

3905-469: The letter is conventionally represented with the Hebrew א in typography for convenience, but the actual graphic form varied significantly over the long history and wide geographic extent of the language. Maraqten identifies three different aleph traditions in East Arabian coins: a lapidary Aramaic form that realizes it as a combination of a V-shape and a straight stroke attached to the apex, much like

3976-561: The letter is used initially and medially in the Uyghur Arabic alphabet and the Arabic-based Kyrgyz alphabet , representing the vowel / ɯ /: ( ىـ ـىـ ‎ ). As a vowel, the letter alif maqsurah can be a carrier with a hamza . The alif maqṣūrah with hamza is thus written as: As a numeral, alif stands for the number one. It may be modified as follows to represent other numbers. The Aramaic reflex of

Due to lack of space, present-day concordances do not aim for this completeness of quotation; it is likely, therefore, that the passages indicated were far fewer than those found in a complete concordance of today. The work was somewhat abridged, by retaining only

4118-574: The name it does not correspond to an aleph in cognate Semitic words, where the single "reed" hieroglyph is found instead.

A fallback representation

4189-480: The oneness of God. The letter can be seen as being composed of an upper yud , a lower yud, and a vav leaning on a diagonal. The upper yud represents the hidden and ineffable aspects of God while the lower yud represents God's revelation and presence in the world. The vav ("hook") connects the two realms. Judaism relates aleph to the element of air, and the Scintillating Intelligence (#11) of

The Egyptian " vulture " hieroglyph ( Gardiner G1 ), by convention pronounced [a] ) is also referred to as aleph , on grounds that it has traditionally been taken to represent a glottal stop ( [ʔ] ), although some recent suggestions tend towards an alveolar approximant ( [ ɹ ] ) sound instead. Despite

It is the only possible carrier if hamza is the first phoneme of

This was followed by an expanded edition covering the Old and New Testaments in 1627, which was further enlarged to include the Apocrypha in 1635. In the same period, John Downame published a shorter Briefe Concordance in 1630, which was later expanded through subsequent editions. Both Cotton and Downame's concordances remained in regular print throughout
