Hebrew & Septuagint length
In English translation the verse runs 10 words from the Hebrew and 8 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 6 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.
Hebrew and Greek witnesses Masoretic Hebrew ↔ Greek Septuagint
The same verse in the two great witnesses to the Old Testament, shown verse-for-verse.
These are two independent witnesses, not word-aligned to each other, and the Septuagint is shown in lemma (dictionary) form.
καί ἐκ ὁ ωσιμ γεννάω ὁ αβιτωβ καί ὁ αλφααλ
And of Osin he begot Abitol, and Alphaal.

Discussion questions
- What does “Abitub” (ʼĂbîyṭûwb) contribute to the verse as a whole?
- 1 word here appears nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. Why might the author reach for such rare wording?
- 2 words make their first appearance in Scripture here. What does this debut establish?
- How does 1 Chronicles 8:12, which shares the word «Elpaal», read alongside this verse?
- The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
- «הוֹלִ֥יד» is a Hiphil Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
- Compare how Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers and Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?

Commentary
Notes on 1 Chronicles 8:11 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.
