Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 19 words from the Hebrew and 19 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.

In the original languages it is 11 Hebrew tokens and 17 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.

Targum (Aramaic paraphrase)

1

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 40:32 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.

And the little chambers thereof,.... These, and what follow in this verse, are exactly the same with those of the south gate of the inner court, Eze 40:29.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

The inner court; the court of the priests, which was next to the house or temple itself.

Toward the east; to the east gate of that court; so he is brought from the south to the east gate.

According to these measures; as the other, so this, exactly like to the first in all dimensions of length and breadth.

Vers. 32-34The east gate of the inner court. The same resemblance to the outer gates are noted in connection with this doorway, and the same two points of distinction just commented on.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “inner” (pᵉnîymîy) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. 1 Kings 6:27 shares the word «inner» 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 «וַיְבִיאֵ֛נִי» is Hiphil Sequential Imperfect. How does its form color the action?
  5. Reading how John Gill's Exposition and Matthew Poole's English Annotations read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
