Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 47 words from the Hebrew and 48 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 22 Hebrew tokens and 42 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.

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.

Commentary

Notes on Ezekiel 36:6 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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Eze 36:6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:

Ver. 6. Say unto the mountains and to the hills.] To those lifeless creatures he directeth his speech, to show that every creature groaneth and waiteth for the redemption of our bodies. It fareth the better also in this life present, for the elect’s sake, as it was once cursed for man’s sin, and hath lain bedridden, as it were, ever since.

Because ye have borne the shame of the heathen.] This the Lord could not bear with any patience.

and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, thus saith the Lord God, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury; with great zeal for his honour, and the interest of his people; and with indignation at his and their enemies:

because ye have borne the shame of the Heathen; their calumnies and lies, their reproaches and scoffs, their injuries and abuses; all which were resented by the Lord, and therefore he determines to punish for them.

Say unto the mountains: see Eze 36:4.

In my fury: see Eze 36:5, where is no difference in the thing expressed, though a little difference in the expressing of it; there it was

the fire of my jealousy, here

in my jealousy and in my fury. Have borne the shame of the heathen; which in Eze 36:5 is, being a

derision to the residue of the heathen; these loaded them with reproaches, and exposed them to contempt, and Israel could not prevent it, they were forced to bear it.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible

Daniel D. Whedon

6, 7. He who is a jealous God (Eze_36:5) affirms with uplifted hand (Eze_20:5-6) that his people shall bear no longer this shame and reproach which has been heaped upon them (Eze_36:2-3; Eze_36:15; Eze_34:29); but this very shame shall soon fall upon their enemies, who shall be overtaken by a just retribution. (Compare Eze_16:52.)

The Pulpit Commentary

Vers. 6, 7. Because ye have borne the shame of the heathen (i.e. the shame cast upon you by the heathen, see Eze_34:29) surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame. Not the shame which should be cast upon them by Israel, which would be retaliation, but their own shame the shame due to them in virtue of the Divine law of retribution, (Eze_16:52) their own curses come home to roost, Ezekiel seeming to distinguish between retaliation and retribution. "The law of retribution is demanded by the absolute righteousness of God. The judicial visitations of God cannot possibly be one-sided. Punishment can so much the less strike Israel alone, as precisely in its punishment the deep degradation of heathendom, its apostasy from God and its pride, has set itself forth in the most striking way" (Havernick). The certainty that this law would operate in the case of the heathen no less than in that of Israel, the prophet expresses by representing Jehovah as having lifted up his hand, or sworn that it should be so. (comp. Eze_20:5, Eze_20:6, Eze_20:15, Eze_20:23, Eze_20:28; Exo_6:8; Num_14:30; Deu_32:40; and Virgil, "AEneid," 12:195, "Teaditque ad sidera dextram

Ezekiel, in the Prophets, opens this verse with 22 words (21 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʼâphîyq (“channel”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “channel” (ʼâphîyq) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. 2 Samuel 22:16 shares the word «channel» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “to say” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. The verb «הִנָּבֵ֖א» is Niphal Imperative. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Tyndale Open Study Notes read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
