The Key Word — נָגִ֖ילָה, na.Gi.lahgenerated
The verb גִּיל (giyl) means to rejoice or be glad, expressing strong emotions like joy. It is built from a root that conveys the idea of spinning around due to excitement. This word captures the essence of celebration and joy, often used in contexts of worship and communal gatherings.
The infinitive construct form נָגִ֖ילָה indicates a collective action — 'let us rejoice.' It invites participation in the act of rejoicing, emphasizing the communal aspect of joy in response to God's creation.
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 main verb עָשָׂ֣ה (he has made) governs the entire verse, with the subject יְהוָ֑ה (Yahweh) explicitly named. The structure emphasizes the action of God creating the day, followed by the communal response of rejoicing.
The sentence is constructed with a clear subject-verb relationship, highlighting the divine act of creation and the subsequent human response. This structure underlines the importance of the day made by the LORD.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יְהוָ֑ה as κύριος (Lord), maintaining the sacredness of God's name. The Greek word ἡμέρα for הַ֭יּוֹם emphasizes the same concept of a day, aligning closely with the Hebrew meaning.
The choice of ἀγαλλιασώμεθα for נָגִ֖ילָה reflects a strong sense of joy and celebration, consistent with the Hebrew's intent to express communal rejoicing.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads, "This is the day that the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it." The Septuagint closely matches this, with 6 of the 7 words aligning, although its word order and articles differ due to its own syntactical structure. The Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q84) contain fragments that include parts of the verse, with some words partially restored and others supplied by an editor, but they generally agree with the Masoretic Text's meaning and intent.
זֶה־ הַ֭יּוֹם עָשָׂ֣ה יְהוָ֑ה נָגִ֖ילָה וְנִשְׂמְחָ֣ה בֽוֹ׃
6 of the 7 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.

Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.

da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:
(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see
Day
The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…
The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…
The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. 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.'

יהוה is not used by E in Gn, but is given Ex 3:12-15 as the name of the God who revealed Himself to Moses at Horeb
יהוה is used with אלהים and suffixes, especially in D
the phrase † אֲנִי יהוה is noteworthy
