The Key Word — יִ֣כֶל, Yi.khelgenerated
The Hebrew word כָּלָה (*kalah*) is a verb meaning 'to waste away' or 'to finish.' In this context, it describes the process of physical deterioration, where the body is consumed or fails. The jussive form indicates an action that is desired or intended, reflecting the inevitability of decay.
This word carries connotations of completion and destruction, highlighting the finality of death and the transient nature of life. It suggests that the flesh is not just failing but is also in a state of being consumed, emphasizing the fragility of human existence.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'His flesh wastes away from sight, and his hidden bones protrude.' The translations generally agree on the meaning, using similar phrases to convey the idea of physical decay.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יִ֣כֶל governs the sentence, indicating the state of the subject's flesh. The structure includes a noun phrase for the subject, a prepositional phrase describing the state of visibility, and a second clause that introduces the bones, which are described as laid bare.
The arrangement emphasizes the process of decay, with the visibility of the bones serving as a stark contrast to the previously covered flesh, highlighting the theme of exposure in suffering.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew יִ֣כֶל is rendered as σαπῶσιν, which conveys a sense of decay or corruption. This choice narrows the focus to the deterioration of the body, aligning with the overall theme of suffering and mortality.
The translation emphasizes the physical aspect of the decay, paralleling the Hebrew's intent but also introducing a more explicit notion of corruption.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads יִ֣כֶל בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מֵרֹ֑אִי וְשֻׁפּ֥וּ עַ֝צְמוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א רֻאּֽוּ׃, which aligns closely with the Septuagint, where four out of seven words match. This indicates a strong textual agreement between the two traditions, despite variations in word order.
יִ֣כֶל בְּשָׂר֣וֹ מֵרֹ֑אִי וְשֻׁפּ֥וּ עַ֝צְמוֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א רֻאּֽוּ׃
4 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.
