Hebrew & Septuagint length

In English translation the verse runs 15 words from the Hebrew and 15 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.

Hebrew and Greek witnesses Masoretic Hebrew ↔ Greek Septuagint

The same verse in the two great witnesses to the Old Testament, shown verse-for-verse.

You’re reading Greek Psalm 104 (Hebrew Psalm 105). The Septuagint counts the superscription, so verse numbers can differ from the Hebrew — chapter-level alignment, not verse-by-verse. Numbering follows Rahlfs.

These are two independent witnesses, not word-aligned to each other, and the Septuagint is shown in lemma (dictionary) form.

Commentary

Notes on Psalms 105:35 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.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

Psa 105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

Ver. 35. And did eat up all the herbs] All that the fiery hail had not blasted and beaten down.

And devoured the fruit of their ground] But not yet the fruit of their bodies, that plague was reserved to the last, to show God’s longsuffering, and lothness to destroy men.

J. A. Alexander on Psalms

Joseph Addison Alexander

35. (Psa 105:35) And devoured every herb in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. The verb, though varied in the common version, is the same in both clauses of the Hebrew. See above, on Psa 37:2; Psa 104:14, and compare the original narrative, Exo 10:5; Exo 10:15.

35. And ate up all the herbage in their land,

And ate up the fruit of their ground.

The Heb. word for ‘herbage’ is not confined to grass, but includes vegetable growth generally with the exception of trees (Psa_104:14).

John Gill's Exposition

And did eat up all the herbs in their land,.... As these creatures usually do, unless restrained, Exo 10:5. And devoured the fruit of their ground; which the hail left, Exo 10:15.

The chief of all their strength; or the first of their strength; the same in different words as before, their firstborn; see Gen 49:3.

The Treasury of David

Charles H. Spurgeon

Ver. 35. Did eat up all the herbs. The locusts had devoured every green herb and every blade of grass; and had it not been for the reeds, on which our cattle entirely subsisted while we skirted the banks of the river, the journey must have been discontinued, at least in the line that had been proposed. The larvae, as generally is the case in this class of nature, are much more voracious than the perfect insect; nothing that is green seems to come amiss to them. The traces of their route over the country are very obvious for many weeks after they have passed it, the surface appearing as if swept by a broom, or as if a harrow had been drawn over it. John Barrow, 1764-1849.

Psalms, in the Wisdom, opens this verse with 7 words (6 distinct Hebrew lemmas). Its most distinctive word is ʻeseb (“herb”). A historical commentator’s framing appears above. Read the whole chapter for the surrounding context.

Discussion questions

  1. How does “herb” (ʻeseb) shape what this verse is saying?
  2. Genesis 1:11 shares the word «herb» with this verse. How do the two illuminate each other?
  3. “to eat” occurs 2× in this one verse. What is the effect of the repetition?
  4. 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?
  5. The verb «וַיֹּ֣אכַל» is Qal Sequential Imperfect. How does its form color the action?
  6. Reading how Trapp's Complete Commentary and J. A. Alexander on Psalms read this verse, where do the two commentators agree and where do they part?
