Hebrew & Septuagint length

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

Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 24:11 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.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(11) Jeshuah.—Heb., Yĕshûa’; in Greek, Ἰησοῦ, Jesus (Ezr_2:2). The name only occurs in Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. The Syriac and Arabic read “Elisha” here.

Shecaniah.—1Ch_3:21. This was a common name in the post-exilic age (Iah is a neighbour).

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

gen. ed. J. J. S. Perowne

11. Jeshua] This is the Hebrew name expressed by Ἰησοῦς in Greek, and by “Jesus” in English. The highpriest under whom the Temple was built bore this name according to Ezr_3:2; Ezr_5:2.

Shecaniah] So Neh_12:3; but ib. Neh_10:4, Neh_12:14 “Shebaniah.” The confusion of B and C is very easy in Hebrew.

The Pulpit Commentary

Jeshuah. In Ezr_2:36 and Neh_7:39 certain "children of Jedaiah," who returned from Babylon, are mentioned as belonging to the "house of Jeshua," and distinguished presumably thereby from children of another Jedaiah. This accords with the fact that in Neh_12:6, Neh_12:7, and again in 19, 21, two families of the name Jedaiah are given in the priest-lists. We may, therefore, conclude that families descended from the Jeshuah of our present verse were among those who returned from captivity (Ezr_2:36; Neh_7:39) Shecaniah. (see Neh_12:3, where spelt Shechaniah) Of those similarly named in Ezr_8:3, Ezr_8:5, the former may possibly have been descendants of this Shecaniah, the latter not so.
