Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 25 words from the Hebrew and 27 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 17 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.

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)
    וְיָת תַּרְבָּא וְיָת כָּלְיֵתָא וְיָת חִצְרָא מִן כַּבְדָא מִן חַטָאתָא אַסֵק לְמַדְבְּחָא כְּמָא דִי פַקִיד יְיָ יָת מֹשֶׁה

Commentary

Notes on Leviticus 9:10 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.

Joseph Benson's Commentary

Lev 9:10. He burned it — By ordinary fire, which was used until the fire came down from heaven, (Lev 9:24,) though afterward it was forbidden. And if it had not been allowed otherwise, yet this being done by Aaron at the command of Moses, and consequently with God’s approbation, it was unquestionably lawful.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(10) But the fat . . . he burnt upon the altar.—The fat portions of this sin offering Aaron was still to burn upon the altar as Moses had done before (see Lev_8:14; Lev_8:21; Lev_8:28), since the miraculous fire from God did not issue forth till the burnt offering of the people was offered.

Matthew Poole's English Annotations

Either,

1. Disposed it for the burning, i.e. laid it upon the altar where it was to be burnt by the heavenly fire, Lev 9:24. Thus interpreters generally understand the word here, as also Lev 9:13,17,20, by an anticipation; or the consequent is put for the antecedent, of which there are examples in Scripture. Or,

2. Properly burnt by ordinary fire, which was used and allowed until the fire came down from heaven, Lev 9:24, though afterwards it was forbidden. And if it had not been allowed otherwise, yet this being done by Aaron at the command of Moses, and consequently with God’s approbation, it was unquestionably lawful. And therefore there seems to be no necessity of departing from the proper sense of the word. Add to this, that there is nothing said to be consumed by that heavenly fire, but the burnt-offering with the fat belonging to it, namely, that burnt-offering mentioned Lev 9:16, which therefore is not there said to be burnt, as it is said of the other burnt-offering, Lev 9:13, and of the rest of the sacrifices in their places.

Lesson kit

Teaching starters — assembled from the data on this page, not authored interpretation. Every prompt links to the verse data it draws on. Edit before teaching.

Leviticus, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 17 words (13 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is yôthereth (“appendage”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “appendage” (yôthereth) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. Exodus 29:13 shares the word «appendage» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “from” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. The verb «הִקְטִ֖יר» is Hiphil Perfect. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Joseph Benson's Commentary and Geneva Bible (1599) read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
