Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 29 words from the Hebrew and 36 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 10 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)

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)
    בְּיוֹמָא דְיִתְנְכֵס יִתְאֲכֵל וּבְיוֹמָא דְבַתְרוֹהִי וּדְאִשְׁתָּאַר עַד יוֹמָא תְלִיתָאָה בְּנוּרָא יִתּוֹקָד

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 19:6 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 19:6 It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.

Ver. 6. It shall be eaten the same day.] {See Trapp on "Lev 7:15"} {See Trapp on "Lev 7:17"} {See Trapp on "Lev 7:18"} {See Trapp on "Lev 7:19"}

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(6) It shall be eaten the same day . . . and on the morrow.—The fact that the flesh of the animal might be eaten both on the day on which it was offered and on the following day, according to the authorities during the second Temple, shows that the second class of peace-offering is here meant, described in Lev_8:16, since the flesh of the first class of peace-offerings had to be eaten on the same day. (See Lev_7:15).

Until the third day.—See Lev_7:17.

John Gill's Exposition

It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow,.... The meaning is, that if it could be, it was best to eat it all up the same day it was offered, but if not, the remainder was to be eaten on the morrow, but by no means to be kept any longer; this shows that that sort of peace offering is intended, which was either a vow or a voluntary offering, Lev 7:16; and the Jews gather from hence, that sacrifices were to be slain in the day, and not in the night (i):

and if ought remain unto the third, it shall be burnt with fire; as it is ordered, Lev 7:16; that so the owner might have no profit by it, and therefore be under no temptation to keep it longer than the fixed time.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

And on the morrow; by which clause it appears that he speaks here only of that sort of peace-offerings which were offered either by vow, or freely for the obtaining of some mercy desired; for the other sort, which was by way of gratitude for mercies received, were to be eaten the same day, Lev 7:15.

On the morrow - He speaks here of that sort of peace-offerings, which were offered either by vow or freely for the obtaining of some mercy, for the other sort, which was by way of gratitude for mercies received, were to be eaten the same day.

Rashi

Rabbi Shlomo Yitzchaki (Rashi)

ביום זבחכם יאכל ON THE DAY YE SACRIFICE IT [SHALL IT BE EATEN] — This means, when ye slaughter it (וכי תזבחו) slaughter it (תשחטהו =תזבחהו) having in mind the period which I have already fixed for you as that within which it must be eaten (that which is mentioned already Leviticus 7:16).

Discussion questions

  1. What does “morrow” (mochŏrâth) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. Genesis 19:34 shares the word «morrow» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “day” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  5. The verb «יֵאָכֵ֖ל» is Niphal Imperfect. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
