Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 16 words from the Hebrew and 19 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 14 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.

Hebrew and Greek witnesses Masoretic Hebrew ↔ Greek Septuagint

The same verse in the two great witnesses to the Old Testament, shown verse-for-verse.

These are two independent witnesses, not word-aligned to each other, and the Septuagint is shown in lemma (dictionary) form.

Commentary

Notes on 1 Chronicles 4:6 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.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “Ahuzam” (ʼĂchuzzâm) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. 3 words here appear nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. Why might the author reach for such rare wording?
  3. 3 words make their first appearance in Scripture here. What does this debut establish?
  4. How does Joshua 16:7, which shares the word «Naarah», read alongside this verse?
  5. What does the repetition of “Naarah” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  6. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  7. «וַתֵּ֨לֶד» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  8. Compare how John Gill's Exposition and Keil & Delitzsch read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
