Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 23 words from the Hebrew and 22 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 14 Hebrew tokens and 11 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)
    וְיָת דַפַּיָא חֲפָא דַהֲבָא וְיָת עִזְקָתְהוֹן עֲבַד דַהֲבָא אַתְרָא לְעַבְּרַיָא וַחֲפָא יָת עַבְּרַיָא דַהֲבָא:

    (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)
    וְיַת לוּחַיָא חָפָא דַהֲבָא וְיַת עִזְקַתְהוֹן עָבַד דַּהֲבָא אַתְרָא לְנַגְרִין וַחֲפָא יַת נַגְרִין דַּהֲבָא

    And the boards he overlaid with gold, and the rings be made of gold, as the place for the bars; and he covered the bars with gold.

Exodus, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 14 words (8 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is bᵉrîyach (“bar”). Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word bᵉrîyach carries the sense “bar.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. Exodus 26:26 shares the word «bar» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “gold” occurs 3× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  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 «צִפָּ֣ה» is Piel Perfect. How does its form color the action?
