LXX Bridge Summary¶
Critical Hebrew-to-Greek mappings through the Septuagint:
| Hebrew Word | Strong's | LXX Greek | Strong's | PMI Score | NT Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| kapporeth (mercy seat) | H3727 | hilasterion | G2435 | 9.75 | ROM 3:25, HEB 9:5 |
| kopher (ransom) | H3724 | lytron | G3083 | 8.83 | MAT 20:28, MRK 10:45 |
| salach (forgive) | H5545 | hilaskomai | G2433 | 8.10 | LUK 18:13, HEB 2:17 |
| kaphar (atone) | H3722 | hilaskomai | G2433 | 6.47 | LUK 18:13, HEB 2:17 |
| kaphar (atone) | H3722 | aphiemi (forgive) | G863 | 5.55 | (broadly: "forgive") |
| kaphar (atone) | H3722 | katharizo (cleanse) | G2511 | 5.18 | (broadly: "purify") |
The LXX serves as the interpretive bridge: Greek-speaking NT readers would hear OT sanctuary theology in the NT atonement vocabulary. The kapporeth -> hilasterion connection (PMI 9.75) is the strongest, making ROM 3:25 essentially a declaration that Christ IS the mercy seat -- the place where God's presence meets atoning blood.
