Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 13 words from the Hebrew and 14 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 9 Hebrew tokens and 12 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.

Commentary

Notes on Ezra 10:29 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.

29. and Ramoth] R.V. Jeremoth. Marg. ‘Another reading is, and Ramoth’. The reading of the C’thib is ‘Jeremoth’; of the K’ri, of the LXX. and Vulg. ‘and Ramoth’ (LXX. καὶ Ῥημώθ, et Ramoth). The reading of C’thib ‘Jeremoth’ is nevertheless preferable. It has support in 3 Esdras 9:30 ‘and Jeremoth’ (καὶ Ἱερεμώθ). It is also the less familiar word and would be more likely to undergo change to ‘and Ramoth’ than vice versa.
