Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 8 words from the Hebrew and 8 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the same length.

A rough comparison of the two English renderings, which tokenize alike — not a word-level alignment.

Word counts can differ between the Hebrew and the Greek without any difference in meaning — e.g. the Hebrew direct-object marker אֵת has no separate Greek word, and Greek often adds the article ὁ.

Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 24:10 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

1Ch 24:10 The seventh to Hakkoz, the eighth to Abijah,

Ver. 10. The eighth to Abijah.] John Baptist’s father was of this course, {Luk 1:5} but whether he were chief priest of this division, as also whether he were of the line of Eleazar, or of Ithamar, is uncertain. Old he was, {Luk 1:7} and yet not freed from taking his turn. Dumb he was also for a time; and yet he went on to do his office in the ministration. The evangelist’s word, εφημερια, {Luk 1:5} importeth a daily attendance upon the work while the course continueth.

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

Abia, the progenitor of St. John the Baptist, Luke i. 5. Yet whether his father was "chief of the priests" of his course, as St. Dionisius asserts, or whether he sprung from Eleazar, or from Ithamar, is uncertain. (Tirinus)

The Pulpit Commentary

Hakkoa The first half of this word is the definite article, as may be seen in Neh_3:4, 21 and Ezr_2:61, where the name is found, as in the cases above, for the priest-family. Abijah (see again Neh_10:7; Luk_1:5) To this course, therefore, Zaharias, father of John the Baptist, belonged.
