Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 13 words from the Hebrew and 12 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 7 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)
    עִשְׂרוֹנָא עִשְׂרוֹנָא תַּעֲבֵיד לְאִמְרָא חָד כֵּן לְשַׁבְעָא אִימְרִין

    (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)
    וְעִשְרוֹנָא עִשְרוֹנָא תַּעֲבֵיד לְאִימַר חָד הֵיכְדֵין לְשׁוּבְעָא אִמְרִין

    and for a single lamb a tenth, so for the seven;

Numbers, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 7 words (5 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʻissârôwn (“tithe”). Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. The word ʻissârôwn carries the sense “tithe.” How does it shape the verse?
  2. How does Exodus 29:40, which shares the word «tithe», read alongside this verse?
  3. What does the repetition of “tithe” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  4. These translations render this verse differently; the difference is in the English rendering, not the original. What questions does that raise?
  5. «תַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה» is a Qal Imperfect verb. How does that grammatical form shape the action described?
