Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 16 words from the Hebrew and 16 from the Septuagint (LXX English) — the same length.

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)
    וּנְטָּלוּ מִסֻכֹּת וּשְרוֹ בְאֵתָם דִי בִּסְטַר מַדְבְּרָא

    (no public-domain English translation for this verse)

  2. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan Torah (Genesis–Deuteronomy)
    וּנְטָלוּ מִסֻכּוֹת וּשְׁרוֹ בְּאֵיתָם דְבִסְטַר מַדְבְּרָא

    And they removed from Sukkoth, and encamped in Etham, on the side of the wilderness.

Commentary

Notes on Numbers 33:6 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.

Adam Clarke's Commentary

STAT. II.

Verse 6. ETHAM, which is in the edge of the wilderness.] This place is not well known; Dr. Shaw supposes it to have been one mile from Cairo. Calmet thinks it is the city of Buthum mentioned by Herodotus, which he places in Arabia, on the frontiers of Egypt.

John Gill's Exposition

And they departed from Succoth, and pitched in Etham,.... Which was eight miles from Succoth:

which is in the edge of the wilderness; of the name, see Exo 13:20 but Dr. Shaw (c) makes this particular portion of the wilderness to be fifty miles from Cairo or Rameses.

Numbers, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 7 words (7 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʼÊthâm (“Etham”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “Etham” (ʼÊthâm) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. Exodus 13:20 shares the word «Etham» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. The translations on this page render this verse differently — a whole-verse word diff, not a word-by-word alignment. What might account for the different wordings?
  4. The verb «וַיִּסְע֖וּ» is Qal Sequential Imperfect. How does its form color the action?
  5. Reading how Tyndale Open Study Notes and Jamieson, Fausset & Brown read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
