Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 33 words from the Hebrew and 32 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 15 Hebrew tokens and 25 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.

Hebrew and Greek witnesses Masoretic Hebrew ↔ Greek Septuagint

The same verse in the two great witnesses to the Old Testament, shown verse-for-verse.

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)
    וְיַעְבֵּד כַּהֲנָא יָת חָד חַטָאתָא וְיָת חָד עֲלָתָא וִיכַפֵּר עֲלָהּ כַּהֲנָא קֳדָם יְיָ מִדוֹב סוֹבְתָהּ

    and the priest shall make one a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering and the priest shall make atonement before the Lord, on account of the defluxion of her uncleanness.

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 15:30 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

(30) And the priest shall offer.—Exactly in the same manner as described in Lev_15:15.

John Gill's Exposition

This is the law of him that hath an issue,.... In Lev 15:32 is a recapitulation of the several laws in this chapter, as of a man that has a "gonorrhoea":

and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith; involuntarily, that suffers a nocturnal pollution.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible

Daniel D. Whedon

30. Atonement for the issue — See Lev_15:15, note. The least of the bloody sacrifices is demanded because the uncleanness does not indicate such a deep-seated energy of evil as does the leprosy, which required two lambs.

Leviticus, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 15 words (12 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is zôwb (“flow”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “flow” (zôwb) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. How does Leviticus 15:2, which shares the word «flow», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “priest” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. «וְעָשָׂ֤ה» is a Qal Sequential Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  6. Compare how Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers and John Gill's Exposition read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
