Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 20 words from the Hebrew and 20 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the same length.

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)
    וִיהַב יָת פָּתוֹרָא בְּמַשְׁכַּן זִמְנָא עַל צִדָא דְמַשְׁכְּנָא צִפוּנָא מִבָּרָא לְפָרֻכְתָּא:

Commentary

Notes on Exodus 40:22 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

(22) Put the table . . . upon the side of the tabernacle northward.—On the right hand to one facing towards the vail. Moses may have known the right position from the pattern which was shewed him in the mount (Exo_25:40).

John Gill's Exposition

And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation,.... In the same place, the holy place: over against the table: the shewbread table:

on the side of the tabernacle southward: directly opposite to the table.

The Pulpit Commentary

Upon the side of the tabernacle northward. Upon the right hand, as one faced the veil. No direction had been given upon this point, but Moses probably knew the right position from the pattern which he had seen upon the mount.

Rashi

Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi)

על ירך המשכן צפנה UPON THE SIDE OF THE DWELLING NORTHWARD — i. e. in the northern half of the width of the house (not by the northern wall) (Yoma 33b).

ירך — This must be understood at the Targum renderd it: צדא. The real meaning is “thigh”, but the side of anything is just like the thigh which is at a person’s side.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “curtain” (pôreketh) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. Exodus 26:31 shares the word «curtain» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. 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?
  4. The verb «וַיִּתֵּ֤ן» is Qal Sequential Imperfect. How does its form color the action?
  5. Reading how Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers and The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
