Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 18 words from the Hebrew and 18 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 11 Hebrew tokens and 14 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 29:13 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

(13) The sons of Elizaphan.—Or, Elzaphan, ben Uzziel ben Kohath (Exo_6:18), who was prince of the bnê Kohath in the time of Moses (Num_3:30). Two of this leading house and two of the Gershonite Asaphites were also present.

The Pulpit Commentary

Elizaphan. (Exo_6:22) He was chief of the Kohathites in the time of Moses (Num_3:30; comp. 1Ch_15:8) This family, though we do not read why, seems always to have retained a separate existence.

2 Chronicles, in the Historical, opens this verse with 11 words (8 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Shimrîy (“Shimri”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word Shimrîy carries the sense “Shimri.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does 1 Chronicles 4:37, which shares the word «Shimri», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “son” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  5. Compare how Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers and The Pulpit Commentary read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
