This word makes its first canonical appearance in the Hebrew Bible here:

  • פְּדַהְאֵ֖ל Pedahel H6300

Repetition

A word recurs within this verse — often emphatic in Hebrew:

  • בְנֵֽי son H1121 ×2

Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 15 words from the Hebrew and 13 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 7 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)
    וּלְשִׁבְטָא דִבְנֵי נַפְתָּלִי רַבָּא פְּדַהְאֵל בַּר עַמִיהוּד

    (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)
    לְשִׁבְטָא דִבְנֵי נַפְתָּלִי אַמַרְכּוֹל פְּדַהְאֵל בַּר עַמִיהוּד

    Naphtali, Pedahael bar Ammihud.

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.

Numbers, in the Pentateuch, opens this verse with 7 words (6 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is Pᵉdahʼêl (“Pedahel”). Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. What does “Pedahel” (Pᵉdahʼêl) contribute to the verse as a whole?
  2. 1 word here appears nowhere else in the Hebrew Bible. Why might the author reach for such rare wording?
  3. This is the first place “Pedahel” appears in Scripture (first appears here). What does its debut here establish?
  4. How does Numbers 1:10, which shares the word «Ammihud», read alongside this verse?
  5. What does the repetition of “son” (2× in this one verse) do in this verse?
  6. 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?
