Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 18 words from the Hebrew and 29 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the Septuagint runs noticeably longer here. See the side-by-side →

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.

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)
    אִלֵין זַרְעֲיַת יְהוּדָה לְמִנְיָנֵיהוֹן שִׁבְעִין וְשִׁתָּא אַלְפִין וַחֲמֵשׁ מְאָה

    (no public-domain English translation for this verse)

    Targum Onkelos — Aramaic: “Onkelos Genesis” (public domain); “Onkelos Exodus” (public domain); “Onkelos Leviticus” (public domain); “Onkelos Numbers” (public domain); “Onkelos Deuteronomy” (public domain). English: “Sefaria Community Translation” (CC0 1.0 (public-domain dedication)); “J.W. Etheridge. The Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan Ben Uzziel on the Pentateuch. London: Longmans, Green, 1862” (public domain). Text via Sefaria.

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    אִלֵין גְנִיסְתָּא דִיהוּדָה לִסְכוּמְהוֹן שׁוּבְעִין וְשִׁיתָּא אַלְפִין וַחֲמֵשׁ מְאָה

Commentary

Notes on Numbers 26:22 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.

Numbers, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 9 words (9 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is shibʻîym (“seventy”). The Greek Septuagint runs longer here. A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “seventy” (shibʻîym) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. Genesis 49:8 shares this passage’s theme. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. Compared with the Hebrew, the Septuagint runs longer here. What questions does that raise?
  4. These translations render this verse differently. What is at stake in choosing one wording over another?
  5. The verb «לִפְקֻדֵיהֶ֑ם» is Qal Participle Passive. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Joseph Benson's Commentary and Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
