Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 29 words from the Hebrew and 15 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the Septuagint runs noticeably shorter here. See the side-by-side →

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 21 Hebrew tokens and 15 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.

Hebrew and Greek witnesses Masoretic Hebrew ↔ Greek Septuagint

The same verse in the two great witnesses to the Old Testament, shown verse-for-verse.

Here the Septuagint runs noticeably shorter than the Hebrew — LXX2012 (modern English Septuagint) 15 words vs World English Bible 29. A rough length comparison of the two English translations, not a word-level alignment — read both below.

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)
    וְאַרְבְּעִין סַמְכִין דִכְסַף עֲבַד תְּחוֹת עֶסְרִין דַפִּין תְּרֵין סַמְכִין תְּחוֹת דַפָּא חַד לִתְרֵין צִירוֹהִי וּתְרֵין סַמְכִין תְּחוֹת דַפָּא חַד לִתְרֵין צִירוֹהִי:

    (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.

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וְאַרְבְּעִין חוֹמְרִין דִּכְסַף עֲבַד תְּחוֹת עֶשְרִין לוּחַיָא תְּרֵין חוֹמְרִין תְּחוֹת לוּחָא חָד לִתְרֵין צִירוֹי וּתְרֵין חוֹמְרִין תְּחוֹת לוּחָא חָד לִתְרֵין צִירוֹי

Commentary

Notes on Exodus 36:24 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.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “board” (qeresh) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. How does Exodus 26:15, which shares the word «board», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “two” (4× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. The Septuagint runs shorter here than the Hebrew. What might account for the difference?
  5. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  6. «עָשָׂ֕ה» is a Qal Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  7. Compare how unfoldingWord translationNotes and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
