Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 26 words from the Hebrew and 28 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 13 Hebrew tokens and 22 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)

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)
    וְלִתְרַע מַשְׁכַּן זִמְנָא לָא אַיְתִנֵהּ לְמֶעְבַּד יָתֵהּ קֳדָם יְיָ וְיִשְׁתֵּיצֵי אֲנָשָׁא הַהוּא מֵעַמֵהּ

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 17:9 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.

9. his people] Although the EVV render ‘his people’ in Lev_17:4; Lev_17:9-10, the Heb. noun is plural in Lev_17:9, and should there be translated his father’s kin. See Intr. to Pent. App. II. (25), pp. 215 f. See also Skinner (Cent. Bible) on 2Ki_23:8.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Lev 17:9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the LORD; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

Ver. 9. Shall be cut off,] i.e., Destroyed; not excommunicated only, as some do sense it.

John Gill's Exposition

And bringeth it not to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord,.... In a public manner, by one of the priests of the Lord; by which it might appear that he did not take upon him to be a priest himself, nor to offer it to an idol:

even that man shall be cut off from his people; from being one of them, and having communion with them, and sharing in their privileges; or by death, either by the hand of the civil magistrate, or rather by the hand of God; so Jarchi, his seed shall be cut off, and his days shall be cut off; that is, he shall die childless, and in the midst of his days, a violent and premature death. Also See Gill on Lev 17:4.

Rashi

Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi)

ונכרת [THAT MAN] SHALL BE CUT OFF — his offspring are cut off (die out) and his own life-time (lit., his days) is shortened (cf. Rashi and Tos. Shabbat 25a; Tos. Yevamot 2a).

Discussion questions

  1. How does “doorway” (pethach) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. How does Leviticus 17:4, which shares this passage’s theme, read alongside this verse?
  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. «יְבִיאֶ֔נּוּ» is a Hiphil Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  5. Compare how The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges and Trapp's Complete Commentary read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
