Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 18 words from the Hebrew and 14 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 9 Hebrew tokens and 10 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)
    אִלֵין זַרְעֲיַת יִשָׂשׂכָר לְמִנְיָנֵיהוֹן שִׁתִּין וְאַרְבְּעָה אַלפִין וּתְלַת 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).

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)

Commentary

Notes on Numbers 26:25 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 Yissâˢkâr (“Issachar”). Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word Yissâˢkâr carries the sense “Issachar.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does Genesis 30:18, which shares the word «Issachar», read alongside this verse?
  3. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  4. «לִפְקֻדֵיהֶ֑ם» is a Qal Participle Passive verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
  5. Compare how Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary and Matthew Poole's English Annotations read this verse. Where do they agree or differ?
