Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 14 words from the Hebrew and 8 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the Septuagint runs noticeably shorter here. See the side-by-side →

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 10 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 6:11 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.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ahitub - Between Amariah and Hilkiah 1Ch 6:13 this genealogy is most certainly defective, as it gives three generations only for a period for which nine generations are furnished by the list of the kings of Judah, and which cannot be estimated as much short of 200 years. Further, no one of the names in this part of the list occurs among the High priests of the period, several of whom are mentioned both in the Second Book of Chronicles and in Kings; the explanation of which seems to be that the present is not a list of high priests, but the genealogy of Jozadak or Jehozadak, whose line of descent partly coincided with the list of High priests, partly differed from it. Where it coincided, all the names are given; where it differed, some are omitted, in order (probably) to render the entire list from Phinehas a multiple of seven. See the note at 1Ch 6:20.

The Pulpit Commentary

Amariah. High priest in the reign of Jehoshaphat (2Ch_19:11; see Smith"s "Bible Dictionary," sub voce, 2). A step ascertainable as this helps to keep the line and chronology steady amid surrounding obscurity.

Teaching starters — assembled from the data on this page, not authored interpretation. Every prompt links to the verse data it draws on. Edit before teaching.

1 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 8 words (5 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʼĂchîyṭûwb (“Ahitub”). The Greek Septuagint runs shorter here. A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “Ahitub” (ʼĂchîyṭûwb) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. How does 1 Samuel 14:3, which shares the word «Ahitub», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “to bear” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. The Septuagint runs shorter here than the Hebrew. What might account for the difference?
  5. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  6. «וַיּ֥וֹלֶד» is a Hiphil Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  7. Compare how The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges and Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
