Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 6 words from the Hebrew and 6 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 7 Hebrew tokens and 9 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 2 Chronicles 11:7 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

(7) Beth-zur.—Beit-sûr; a ruin midway between Urtâs and Hebron (Jos_15:58).

Shoco.—Heb., Sôcô; es Suweikeh, in Wady Sumt, three and a-half hours south-west of Jerusalem (Jos_15:35; 1Sa_17:1).

Adullam.—Jos_15:35. Perhaps Aid-el-Mieh.

7. Beth-zur] Represented by the ruin Burj Ṣûr to the north of Hebron. Cp. Jos_15:58. Bädeker, p. 136.

Shoco] R.V. Soco. The cities hitherto mentioned were situated in the Hill Country, but the position of the Soco here mentioned and Adullam is uncertain. Two places bore the name Soco or Socoh, one situated in the Shephelah (Jos_15:35; 1Sa_17:1, R.V.), and one in the Hill Country (“the mountains,” Jos_15:48). For Adullam cp. Jos_15:35; 1Ch_11:15 (note on the cave of Adullam).

Beth-zur. About five miles north of Hebron (see 1Ch_2:45; Neh_3:16) Shoco; properly, Socoh, in the Shefelah. (Jos_15:35) According to Jerome and Eusebius, it was about nine miles from Eleutheropolis, on the road to Jerusalem. (see 1Sa_17:1) Adullam. In the Shefelah. (Jos_15:35) Itwas an ancient place (Gen_38:1, Gen_38:12, Gen_38:20; Jos_12:15; Neh_11:30) See also the familiar passages (1Sa_22:1 2Sa_23:13; 1Ch_11:15)

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.

2 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 7 words (4 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Bêyth Tsûwr (“Beth-zur”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word Bêyth Tsûwr carries the sense “Beth-zur.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does Joshua 15:58, which shares the word «Beth-zur», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “Beth-zur” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. 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?
  5. Compare how Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
