Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 16 words from the Hebrew and 13 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — closely comparable.

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.

In the original languages it is 8 Hebrew tokens and 11 Greek tokens — but the two are counted differently (Hebrew bundles its prefixes and suffixes into one token; the Greek is in lemma form), so that isn’t a like-for-like length.

Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 24:23 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.

John Trapp

1Ch 24:23 And the sons [of Hebron]; Jeriah [the first], Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

Ver. 23. And the sons of Hebron.] Hebron is not in the original, but well supplied out of 1Ch 23:19; 1Ch 26:31. See the like lacuna in 1Ch 2:53.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(23) And the sons of Hebron; Jeriah the first.—The Hebrew text is here mutilated. Our translators have emended it from 1Ch_23:19. The names of the houses or classes are given, without those of the heads.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Neither “Hebron” nor “the first” is found in the present Hebrew text; but they seem to have been rightly supplied by our translators from 1Ch 23:19. The four persons named appear to have been contemporaries of David, the heads of the Hebronite houses in his time (compare 1Ch 26:31).

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

And his. Protestants, "the sons of Hebron, Jeriah, the first." The words underlined, shew what omissions are in the text, (Haydock) which is probably corrupted, as well as the Septuagint. Jeria and Amarias were sons of Hebron, chap. xxiii. 19., and xxvi. 31. Jahath may, therefore, be the same with Hebron. (Calmet)

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

The first; which word is fitly supplied both out of the rest of this verse, the second, third, and fourth having a manifest reference to the first, and out of 1Ch 23:19; 26:31, where it is expressed.

The Pulpit Commentary

This verse is manifestly imperfect. What is necessary to fill up the evident gaps is to be found, however, in 1Ch_23:19; also the pointed allusion to the time of David, in 1Ch_26:31, is deserving of especial notice. The four names of this verse, then, are descendants of Kohath"s third son, Hebron. (1Ch_23:12)

1 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 8 words (8 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Yᵉqamʻâm (“Jekameam”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “Jekameam” (Yᵉqamʻâm) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. 1 Chronicles 23:19 shares the word «Jekameam» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  4. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
