Hebrew & Septuagint length
In English translation the verse runs 12 words from the Hebrew and 12 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the same length.

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.
