Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 22 words from the Hebrew and 24 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 13 Hebrew tokens and 20 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 7:10 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

(10) Eight sons of Jediael.

Bilhan.—1Ch_1:42, a son of Seir. Perhaps an Edomite element in Benjamin. (Comp. 1Ch_2:34; 1Ch_4:18; 1Ch_2:46, and especially the case of Caleb the Kenizzite.)

Jeush.—So Heb., margin. Text, Jeish; a son of Esau (1Ch_1:35).

Benjamin.—It is curious that a Benjamite clan should have borne the tribal name. (Comp. 1Ch_4:16, Asareel and Note.)

Ehud.—A namesake of Ehud the judge, who slew Eglon the Moabite oppressor of Israel (Jdg_3:15). Ehud the judge was a son of Gera, and Gera was a division of Bela (1Ch_8:3; 1Ch_8:5).

Chenaanah (Canaanitess) is perhaps a Canaanite house which had amalgamated with the bnê Jediael.

Tharshish.—Elsewhere the name of a famous Phœnician colony in Spain. The name occurs once again as a personal name (Est_1:14, one of the seven Persian princes). In Exo_28:20, and six other places, it is the name of a gem.

Ahishahar.—Brother of dawn. (Comp. Shaha-raim—double dawn, 1Ch_8:8, and Isa_14:12, ben-shahar—son of dawn.) Perhaps the common Arab designation bnê qedem—“sons of the east”—is similar.

John Gill's Exposition

The sons of Naphtali: Jahziel, and Guni, and Jezer, and Shallum,.... Called Shillem, Gen 46:24,

the sons of Bilhah; Jacob's concubine; her grandsons; for Naphtali, the father of them, was her son; from these sprung so many families, after their names, Num 26:48.

The Pulpit Commentary

Bilhan; Jeush. Both of these, us well as the name Bela, are of Edomitish origin (Gen_36:5, Gen_36:18, Gen_36:27, Gen_36:32)
