Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 19 words from the Hebrew and 25 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 10 Hebrew tokens and 19 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 27:21 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

(21) Of the half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead.—Rather, towards Gilead, Gilead-ward: i.e., on the east of the Jordan, in Gilead and Bashan.

Iddo the son of Zechariah.—The prophet Ze-chariah was a son of Berechiah, son of Iddo, and may have descended from this Iddo.

Jaasiel the son of Abner, was, doubtless, a son of Saul’s famous marshal.

21. Gilead] “Gilead” is strictly speaking the name of the district between the Jabbok and Moab, in which the tribes of Gad and Reuben dwelt. Here it is used less precisely to include Bashan, the district N.E. of Jordan in which the half tribe of Manasseh lived.

Iddo] Spelt quite differently in Heb. from the name of the father of the prophet Zechariah (Zec_1:1).

Abner] 1Sa_14:50-51.

1 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 10 words (9 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Yaʻăsîyʼêl (“Jasiel”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “Jasiel” (Yaʻăsîyʼêl) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. This is the first place “Iddo” appears in Scripture (first appears here). What does its debut here establish?
  3. How does 1 Chronicles 11:47, which shares the word «Jasiel», read alongside this verse?
  4. What does the repetition of “son” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  5. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  6. Compare how Geneva Bible (1599) and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
