Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 37 words from the Hebrew and 42 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)
    וְכֵן לְרוּחַ צִפּוּנָא בְּאֻרְכָּא סְרָדִין מְאָה אֻרְכָּא וְעַמוּדוֹהִי עֶשְׂרִין וְסַמְכֵיהוֹן עֶשְׂרִין נְחָשָׁא וָוֵי עַמוּדַיָא וְכִבּוּשֵׁהוֹן דִכְסָף:

    (no public-domain English translation for this verse)

    Targum Onkelos — Aramaic: “Onkelos Genesis” (public domain); “Onkelos Exodus” (public domain); “Onkelos Leviticus” (public domain); “Onkelos Numbers” (public domain); “Onkelos Deuteronomy” (public domain). English: “Sefaria Community Translation” (CC0 1.0 (public-domain dedication)); “J.W. Etheridge. The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan Ben Uzziel on the Pentateuch. London: Longmans, Green, 1862” (public domain). Text via Sefaria.

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וְהֵיכְדֵין לְרוּחַ צִפוּנָא בְּאוּרְכָּא וִילַוָון מְאָה אוּרְכָּא וְעַמּוּדֵיהוֹן עַשְרִין וְחוּמְרֵיהוֹן עַשְרִין דִּנְחָשָׁא וָוֵי עַמּוּדַיָא וְכִיבּוּשֵׁיהוֹן כְּסָף

    And so for the northern side, for length, the hangings a hundred (cubits) long, and their pillars twenty, and their foundations twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their rods, of silver.

Commentary

Notes on Exodus 27:11 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.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(11, 12) The north side . . . This side of the court was to be in exact correspondence with the south. The western side was to be of only half the length (fifty cubits), and required therefore only half the number of pillars and sockets.

John Gill's Exposition

And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits long,.... The north and south sides of this court being equal, the same length of hangings were for the one as the other:

and his twenty pillars, and their twenty sockets of brass; there went on this side the same number of pillars and sockets, and of the same metal:

the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; just as they were on the south side.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “fillets” (châshuq) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. How does Exodus 27:10, which shares the word «fillets», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “pillar” (3× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. 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?
  5. Compare how unfoldingWord translationNotes and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
