Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 12 words from the Hebrew and 31 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the Septuagint runs noticeably longer 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.

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

Here the Septuagint runs noticeably longer than the Hebrew — LXX2012 (modern English Septuagint) 31 words vs World English Bible 12. A rough length comparison of the two English translations, not a word-level alignment — read both below.

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)
    וְלִסְיָפֵי מַשְׁכְּנָא מַעַרְבָא עֲבַד שִׁתָּא דַפִין:

    (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)

Commentary

Notes on Exodus 36:27 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.

The Pulpit Commentary

For the sides of the tabernacle westward. Literally correct; but it would be more intelligible to render "for the side," or "for the back."

Exodus, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 6 words (6 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is yᵉrêkâh (“side”). The Greek Septuagint runs longer here. A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “side” (yᵉrêkâh) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. Genesis 49:13 shares the word «side» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. Compared with the Hebrew, the Septuagint runs longer here. What questions does that raise?
  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. The verb «עָשָׂ֖ה» is Qal Perfect. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how unfoldingWord translationNotes and Geneva Bible (1599) read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
