The Key Word — יַעֲלֶ֥ה, ya.'a.Lehgenerated
The verb עָלָה (alah) means 'to ascend' and is used here to indicate a physical and spiritual rising towards God. It implies not just a physical movement upwards, but also a moral and spiritual elevation necessary to stand before the divine.
In this context, the imperfect form suggests an ongoing or future action, indicating that the ascent to God's presence is not just a one-time event but a continual requirement for those who seek to be close to Him.
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 structure of the verse consists of two main clauses, each beginning with an interrogative pronoun: מִי (mi) and וּמִי (u.mi). The first clause asks who may ascend, while the second asks who may stand, both highlighting the conditions for entering God's presence.
The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the subjects 'who' and the actions of ascending and standing, reinforcing the significance of these inquiries in the context of worship and holiness.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates the Hebrew יַעֲלֶ֥ה as ἀναβήσεται (anabēsetai), which also means 'will ascend'. This choice maintains the sense of movement towards God, while the Greek word carries a nuance of elevation that aligns with the spiritual ascent implied in the Hebrew.
The use of στήσεται (stēsetai) for 'will stand' further emphasizes the act of taking a position in the divine presence, suggesting a readiness to engage with God.

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.

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.'

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
