Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 34 words from the Hebrew and 27 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 16 Hebrew tokens and 18 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.

These are two independent witnesses, not word-aligned to each other, and the Septuagint is shown in lemma (dictionary) form.

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)
    וַעֲבַד עֲנוּבִין חַמְשִׁין עַל סִפְתָא דִירִיעֲתָא בְּסִטְרָא בֵּית לוֹפֵי וְחַמְשִׁין עֲנוּבִין עֲבַד עַל סִפְתָא דִירִיעֲתָא דְבֵית לוֹפֵי תִּנְיֵתָא:

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וַעֲבַד עֲנוּבִין חַמְשִׁין עַל שִפְתָא דִירִיעֲתָא בְּצִטְרָא בֵּית לוֹפֵי וְחַמְשִׁין עֲנוּבִין עֲבַד עַל שִפְתָא דִירִיעֲתָא דְּבֵית לוֹפֵי תִּנְיָינָא

  2. How does Exodus 26:4, which shares the word «outermost», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “to do” (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. «וַיַּ֜עַשׂ» is a Qal Sequential Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
