Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 29 words from the Hebrew and 28 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 2 Chronicles 27:7 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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

2Ch 27:7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they [are] written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

Ver. 7. And his ways,] i.e., His counsels, actions, whole course.

Adam Clarke's Commentary

Verse 7. The rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways] It was in his days, according to 2Kg 15:37, that Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah king of Israel, began to cut Judah short. See the notes on 2Kg 15:36-37.

Written in the book of the kings, c.] There is not so much found in the books of Kings which we have now, as in this place of the Chronicles. In both places we have abridged accounts only: the larger histories have long been lost. The reign of Jotham was properly the last politically prosperous reign among the Jews. Hezekiah and Josiah did much to preserve the Divine worship but Judah continued to be cut short, till at last it was wholly ruined.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(7) And all his wars, and his ways.—See 2Ki_15:36, “And all that he did.” The chronicler seems to have varied the phrase, in order to hint at the Syro-Ephraite war, mentioned in 2Ki_15:37.

2 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 13 words (13 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Yôwthâm (“Jotham”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word Yôwthâm carries the sense “Jotham.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. Judges 9:5 shares the word «Jotham» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  4. The verb «כְּתוּבִ֔ים» is Qal Participle Passive. How does its form color the action?
  5. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Adam Clarke's Commentary read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
