Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 15 words from the Hebrew and 15 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the same length.

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 13 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 7:30 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

THE TRIBE OF ASHER (1Ch_7:30-40).

(30, 31) The sons of Asher; Imnah. . . . Malchiel.—This is a literal transcript of Gen_46:17. Comp. also Num_26:44-46, where the clan (mishpahath) of each eponym is assigned; but the name of Isaah (Heb., Yishwâh) does not appear.

Beriah.—Also the name of an Ephraimitic stock (1Ch_7:23). Malchiel is called the “father (chief or founder) of Birzavith” only here. The Heb. margin has Birzayith, perhaps “well of olive” (be-er zayith); the text, Berazôth or Barzûth. It is probably the name of a place.

And the sons of Ulla,.... Who either was the son of Ara, last mentioned, or another son of Jether:

The Pulpit Commentary

The same four sons and one daughter of Asher are found in Gen_46:17; but the name of the second son is wanting to the list of families descended from Asher of Num_26:44-47, and the name of the daughter is given by itself, and not as furnishing a family.
