Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 14 words from the Hebrew and 7 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 12 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.

Here the Septuagint runs noticeably shorter than the Hebrew — LXX2012 (modern English Septuagint) 7 words vs World English Bible 14. A rough length comparison of the two English translations, not a word-level alignment — read both below.

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 6:5 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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

1Ch 6:5 And Abishua begat Bukki, and Bukki begat Uzzi,

Ver. 5. And Bukki begat Uzzi.] In this man’s time it is supposed that Eli (and so his posterity after him) got the high priest’s office - sed quo iure quave iniuria, parum constat - till after four generations it was resettled by Solomon upon Zadok, the son of Ahitub, {1Ki 2:27; 1Ki 2:35} who [with his descendants] were high priests till after the captivity.

Joseph Benson's Commentary

1Ch 6:5. Bukki begat Uzzi — In whose days it is supposed that the high- priesthood was translated from Eleazar’s family to Ithamar’s, for some cause now unknown, in whose line it continued for some successions.

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

Abisue. He is mentioned no where else. Josephus ([Antiquities?] v. ultra) calls him Abiezer. (Calmet) --- Many of these high priests were very obscure. (Menochius) --- Ozi, after whom Heli is supposed to have reigned, so that Zaraias and the three following were excluded, (Calmet) while Heli, and four of the same family of Ithamar, were acknowledged as high priests. (Tirinus) --- Abiathar was then forced to give place to Sadoc, (3 Kings ii. 26.; Haydock) whose family was in power at the captivity, ver. 15. (Tirinus) --- Nicephorus (ii. 4.) and Josephus ([Antiquities?] x. 11.) mention other high priests besides these. (Worthington)

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

In the days of Uzzi it is supposed that the high priesthood was translated from Eleazar’s family to Ithamar’s, for some cause now unknown, in whose line it continued for some successions.

The Pulpit Commentary

Vers. 5-7. Of the five succeeding names, Bukki, Uzzi, Zerahiah, Meraioth, Amariah, it may be said that they reappear in the list of Ezra 7., but that little or nothing else is known of them. Lightfoot ("Temple Service," 4. 1) supposes that the change of priesthood family to Ithamar took place after Meraioth. But it is just as probable that the gap between Abishua and Eli, or possibly even between Phinehas and Eli, was filled by holders of the high priest office unknown by name to us.

Lesson kit

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 ʼĂbîyshûwaʻ (“Abishua”). The Greek Septuagint runs shorter here. A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word ʼĂbîyshûwaʻ carries the sense “Abishua.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. The word “Uzzi” first appears here in Scripture. What is being introduced at this debut?
  3. 1 Chronicles 6:4 shares the word «Abishua» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  4. “to bear” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  5. Compared with the Hebrew, the Septuagint runs shorter here. What questions does that raise?
  6. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  7. The verb «הוֹלִ֣יד» is Hiphil Perfect. How does its form color the action?
  8. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Joseph Benson's Commentary read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
