Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 23 words from the Hebrew and 23 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 10 Hebrew tokens and 16 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.

    וְיַיְתִי יָת אַשְׁמֵהּ קֳדָם יְיָ לִתְרַע מַשְׁכַּן זִמְנָא דְכַר לַאֲשָׁמָא

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 19:21 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

Lev 19:21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, [even] a ram for a trespass offering.

Ver. 21. His trespass offering. Whereof see Lev 5:1-19.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(21) And he shall bring his trespass offering.—Unlike the woman, the man had to bring this sacrifice under any circumstances, whether he sinned ignorantly or presumptuously. She was exempted from offering a sacrifice because she was her master’s property, and not being her own, she had no property.

Unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.—Better, to the entrance of the tent of meeting, whither all the sacrifices were brought. (See Lev_17:4-5.) The ram here prescribed was the usual animal for such a sacrifice. (See Lev_5:17-18.)

John Gill's Exposition

He shall bring his trespass offering unto the Lord,.... To the priest of the Lord, to offer it for him; he, and not she, as the Targum of Jonathan has it; See Gill on Lev 19:20,

unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation; where all offerings were to be brought, Lev 17:4,

even a ram for a trespass offering; which was the usual creature for such a sacrifice, Lev 5:15; the woman was not obliged to bring any, she being a bondmaid; and so having nothing of her own, but what was her master's, her circumstances are considered, and scourging was sufficient.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible

Daniel D. Whedon

21. Trespass offering — See 6-13, notes. Also, chap. v, Introductory. This offering was always special, as 1.) for sacrilege in ignorance, Lev_5:15; Lev_16:2.) for ignorant infraction of some definite prohibition, Lev_5:17 to Lev_19:3.) for fraud, concealing the truth, or perjury, Lev_6:1-4.) at the purification of a leper, Lev_14:12, and the polluted Nazarite, Num_6:12 and 5.) for the seduction of a betrothed slave. The only exception to this use of ahsham is in Isa_53:10.

  3. What does the repetition of “guilt” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. 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?
  5. «וְהֵבִ֤יא» is a Hiphil Sequential Perfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  6. Compare how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
