Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 22 words from the Hebrew and 19 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.

Targum (Aramaic paraphrase)

2

The Targum is the ancient Jewish Aramaic paraphrase of the Hebrew Scriptures — an interpretive translation, not the Hebrew text itself. Onkelos (literal) and Pseudo-Jonathan (expansive) render the Torah, and Jonathan the Prophets. Coverage is partial: where no permissively-licensed English translation exists for a verse, only the Aramaic is shown. This is verse-level text, not a word-by-word alignment to the Hebrew.

  1. Targum Onkelos Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וְתִרְגְמִנֵהּ בְּאַבְנַיָא וִימוּת אֲרֵי בָעָא לְאַטְעֲיוּתָךְ מִדַחַלְתָּא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ דִי אַפְּקָךְ מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית עַבְדוּתָא

    (no public-domain English translation for this verse)

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וּתְאַטְלוּן יָתֵיהּ בְּאַבְנָא וִימוּת אֲרוּם בְּעָא לְאַטְעֲיוּתְכוֹן מִדְּחַלְתָּא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ דְּאַפֵּיק יַתְכוֹן פְּרִיקִין מֵאַרְעָא דְמִצְרַיִם מִבֵּית שִׁעֲבּוּד עַבְדַיָא

    and you shall stone him that he die; because he sought to draw them away from the fear of the Lord thy God, who brought you out free from the land of Mizraim, from the house of the affliction of slaves.

Commentary

Notes on Deuteronomy 13:11 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.

John Gill's Exposition

And all Israel shall hear, and fear,.... Shall hear of the death the enticer was put unto, and shall fear to act such a part he did, and be upon their guard against any such person, and be cautious that they are not drawn into sin by him:

and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you; either to entice unto idolatry or commit it; which is a piece of wickedness against the first table of the law, and a very heinous one, and exceeding offensive and provoking to God, being so directly against his being, perfections, and glory.

The Pulpit Commentary

The penalty publicly inflicted, and therefore generally known, would have a deterrent effect on the community, so as to prevent the recurrence of such evil.

Deuteronomy, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 11 words (11 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is yâçaph (“to add”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “to add” (yâçaph) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. How does Deuteronomy 19:20, which shares this passage’s theme, read alongside this verse?
  3. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  4. «יִשְׁמְע֖וּ» is a Qal Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  5. Compare how John Gill's Exposition and The Pulpit Commentary read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
