The Key Word — יָרָה, le.ho.Rotgenerated
The Hebrew word יָרָה (*yarah*) is a hiphil infinitive construct meaning 'to teach' or 'to show.' It conveys the idea of directing or pointing out something, often used in a figurative sense to describe instruction.
This word is derived from a root that encompasses meanings related to shooting or directing, highlighting its dual nature of both literal and figurative application. In this verse, it emphasizes the teaching aspect of the law, indicating that these instructions are meant to guide the people.
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 is הוֹרֹ֕ת, to teach, which governs the entire clause, indicating the purpose of the law. The structure includes several prepositional phrases that elaborate on the timing and context of the law.
The phrase בְּי֥וֹם (on the day of) appears twice, establishing a clear temporal framework for the instructions given, emphasizing the importance of timing in the application of these laws.

This choice reflects a focus on the legal implications of the instructions, aligning with the Greek audience's understanding of law as a guiding principle.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text and the Septuagint largely agree in content, with the Samaritan Pentateuch differing in two words: הוֹרֹ֕ת (teach) and טָהֹ֑ר (pure). The Dead Sea Scrolls show some restoration, with seven words supplied by an editor.
