The Key Word — נְאֻם, ne.'um-generated
The Hebrew word סָבַב (savav) means to turn or go around, encompassing actions like surrounding or changing direction. In this verse, it indicates that the houses will be turned over to others, signifying a complete transfer of possession.
This verb is in the Niphal form, suggesting a passive action where the houses are not just turned but given away, emphasizing the loss faced by the inhabitants.
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 נָסַ֤בּוּ (ve.na.Sa.bu) governs the verse, with several phrases hanging off it: a noun phrase indicating the subject (houses), a prepositional phrase specifying the recipients (to others), and additional phrases detailing the context and consequences.
The structure emphasizes the action of turning over, with the main subject (houses) placed at the beginning, followed by the consequences that affect fields and wives, showcasing the comprehensive nature of the judgment.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew נְאֻם is rendered as λέγει (legei), meaning 'says'. This choice reflects a straightforward declaration without the prophetic nuance present in the Hebrew.
The Greek word μεταστραφήσονται corresponds to נָסַ֤בּוּ, indicating a similar sense of turning or being turned, but with a focus on the change in status for the inhabitants.

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

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.

The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
