Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 23 words from the Hebrew and 29 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 23 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.

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)
    וּתְקַבֵּל לְמֵימְרָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָךְ וְתַעְבֵּד יָת פִּקוּדוֹהִי וְיָת קְיָמוֹהִי דִי אֲנָא מְפַקְדָךְ יוֹמָא דֵין

    (no public-domain English translation for this verse)

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וּתְקַבְּלוּן לְמֵימְרָא דַיְיָ אֱלָהָכוֹן וְתַעַבְדוּן יַת פִּקוּדוֹי וְיַת קְיָימוֹי דַאֲנָא מְפַקֵיד לְכוֹן יוֹמָא דֵין

Commentary

Notes on Deuteronomy 27:10 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.

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.

Deuteronomy, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 13 words (12 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is chôq (“statute”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word chôq carries the sense “statute.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does Deuteronomy 11:1, 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. «וְשָׁ֣מַעְתָּ֔» is a Qal Sequential Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  5. Compare how Geneva Bible (1599) and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
