The Key Word נוֹלַד, no.lad-generated

The Hebrew word יָלַד (yalad) means to bear, bring forth, or beget. It encompasses the act of childbirth and the declaration of lineage. In this verse, it indicates the process of giving birth to Hezron's sons, emphasizing the continuation of family lines.

The verb is in the Niphal stem, which suggests a passive or reflexive action, indicating that the sons were born to Hezron. This construction highlights the role of Hezron as the father and the significance of his descendants in the biblical narrative.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb that governs the verse is נוֹלַד, it was born, which introduces the subject of the sentence: the sons of Hezron. The structure is straightforward, with a noun phrase followed by a series of names that serve as the predicate.

The sentence is structured to emphasize the lineage, starting with the subject (the sons) and then listing the individuals, which is typical in genealogical accounts.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יָלַד as ἐτέξθησαν, which also means 'to give birth.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, maintaining the focus on the act of birth while adopting a Greek grammatical structure.

This translation choice indicates a direct correspondence to the Hebrew concept of lineage and family, preserving the significance of Hezron's descendants.

The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint show agreement in the essential elements of this verse, with the MT listing the names of Hezron's sons. However, the Septuagint's word order and articles differ, reflecting its own stylistic choices while conveying the same genealogical information.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
