Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 34 words from the Hebrew and 36 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 19 Hebrew tokens and 22 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)

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.

    וּבָתִּין מְלָן כָּל טוּב דִי לָא מְלֵיתָא וְגֻבִּין פְּסִילָן דִי לָא פְּסַלְתָּא כַּרְמִין וְזֵיתִין דִי לָא נְצֶבְתָּא וְתֵיכוּל וְתִשְׂבָּע

Commentary

Notes on Deuteronomy 6:11 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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Deu 6:11 And houses full of all good [things], which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

Ver. 11. When thou shalt have eaten and be full.] Saturity oft breeds security; fulness, forgetfulness. The best, when full fed, are apt to wax wanton and will be dipping their fingers sometimes in the devil’s sauce: Ipsis opibus lascivire coepit ecclesia. {a} The moon never suffers eclipse but at the full, and that by the earth’s interposition. The young mules, when they have sucked, turn up their heels and kick at the dam.

{a} Platina.

The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges

gen. ed. J. J. S. Perowne

11. and houses … and cisterns … vineyards and olive trees …] With Sam. and LXX omit and before houses and cisterns. Such things form the principal wealth of the cities, better towns, of Deu_6:10. That grain and flocks are not also mentioned (as in Deu_32:14) is not surprising. The description is a summary one; it is an agricultural civilisation to which Israel is succeeding, and in the agriculture of the W. Palestine hills fruit-trees were more valuable than either wheat or barley, and also their value was more dependent on the labour of previous generations.

and thou shall eat and be full] Deu_8:10; Deu_8:12, Deu_11:15, Deu_31:20; cp. Deu_14:29, Deu_26:12, Deu_32:15 (LXX).

John Gill's Exposition

And houses full of all good things which thou filledst not,.... Not only full of good, convenient, and rich household furniture, but of the fruits of the earth, of corn, and wine, and oil, and also, perhaps, of gold and silver:

and wells digged which thou diggedst not; which in those hot and dry countries were in much esteem, and of great worth; see Gen 26:18,

vineyards and olive trees which thou plantedst not; which Canaan abounded with much more than Egypt, where there were but few vines and olive trees, though of both these there were more where the Israelites lived than elsewhere; See Gill on Gen 47:11 and these therefore might be such as they had seen in Egypt, in that part of it in which they dwelt, Goshen, which was in the Heracleotic nome, and that Strabo (u) says only produced perfect olives, and fruit bearing trees, but the rest of Egypt wanted oil; and this home is the same which the Arabs now call the province of Fium, of which Leo Africanus (w) says, it produces a large quantity of olives; so that this might be observed for the encouragement of the Israelites:

when thou shalt have eaten and be full; having such plenty of good things the land would furnish them with.

Deuteronomy, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 19 words (14 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is châtsab (“to hew”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “to hew” (châtsab) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. This is the first place “to hew” appears in Scripture (first appears here). What does its debut here establish?
  3. How does Deuteronomy 8:9, which shares the word «to hew», read alongside this verse?
  4. What does the repetition of “to hew” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  5. 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?
  6. «מִלֵּאתָ֒» is a Piel Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  7. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
