Context — The Laws of the Passovergenerated

11Such people are to observe it at twilight on the fourteenth day of the second month. They are to eat the lamb, together with unleavened bread and bitter herbs;
12they may not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones. They must observe the Passover according to all its statutes.
13But if a man who is ceremonially clean and is not on a journey still fails to observe the Passover, he must be cut off from his people, because he did not present the LORD’s offering at its appointed time. That man will bear the consequences of his sin.
14If a foreigner dwelling among you wants to observe the Passover to the LORD, he is to do so according to the Passover statute and its ordinances. You are to apply the same statute to both the foreigner and the native of the land.’”

Numbers 9:12 provides specific instructions for the observance of the Passover, emphasizing the importance of not leaving any part of the sacrifice until morning and not breaking any of its bones. This reflects the seriousness with which the Israelites were to treat the Passover lamb, a significant symbol of their deliverance from Egypt. The surrounding verses also detail the timing and conditions for observing the Passover, ensuring that all aspects of the ritual are followed as prescribed by God.

The Key Word חֻקַּ֥ת, chu.Katgenerated

The word חֻקַּ֥ת (chuqqah) refers to a statute or ordinance, indicating a divine law prescribed for the Israelites. It emphasizes the legal and prescriptive nature of the commands regarding the Passover. The parsing shows it as a feminine singular construct, suggesting it is a specific statute pertaining to the Passover festival.

This term is used throughout the Torah to signify the importance of adherence to God's commands, particularly in the context of rituals and sacrifices. In this verse, it underscores the necessity of following all the statutes associated with the Passover.


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 verse consists of several clauses, with the main action centered around the commands regarding the Passover. The finite verbs יַשְׁאִ֤ירוּ (they will leave over) and יִשְׁבְּרוּ (they will break) govern the actions that are prohibited.

The structure emphasizes the importance of the commands through the use of negation and instruction, clearly delineating what is not to be done in relation to the Passover sacrifice.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb יַשְׁאִ֤ירוּ is rendered as καταλείψουσιν, which means 'they will leave behind.' This choice indicates a similar emphasis on the act of leaving something over, maintaining the original intent of the command.

The use of συντρίψουσιν for יִשְׁבְּרוּ reflects a more intense connotation of breaking, suggesting a thoroughness in the prohibition against breaking the bones of the sacrifice.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text states that they must not leave any of it until morning or break any of its bones, and they must observe the Passover according to all its statutes. The Septuagint closely matches the Masoretic Text, with 12 out of 14 words agreeing, though its word order and articles differ. The Samaritan Pentateuch also agrees with the Masoretic Text in general but differs in one word, using 'חקות' (regulation) instead of the Masoretic 'חוקות' (statutes), indicating a slight variation in terminology.

לא ישׁאירו ממנו עד בקר ועצם לא ישׁברו בו ככל חקות הפסח יעשׂו אתו

1 word differs from the Masoretic Text: חקות (regulation)

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.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite.
