Sections marked generated are written from the data on this page rather than by a named author. Everything else — the lexicon entries, the cross references, the manuscript readings, the counts — is quoted from its source unchanged.
Context — The Journey of the Israelitesgenerated
Psalms 105:13 reflects on the journey of the Israelites as they wandered from one nation to another, highlighting their status as strangers and the divine protection they received during their travels. This verse emphasizes the transient nature of their existence and God's guidance through their hardships.
Cross References
The Key Word — וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ, Vai.yit.ha.le.khugenerated
The verb הָלַךְ (halak) means 'to go' or 'to walk'. It can describe both physical movement and metaphorical journeys, indicating the various contexts in which the Israelites found themselves. The Hithpael form suggests a reflexive or reciprocal action, emphasizing their collective wandering.
In this verse, the use of וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ conveys the ongoing action of the Israelites as they moved about, indicating a sense of aimlessness and dependence on God for direction.
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. The BSB uses wandered, which aligns with the KJV and ASV, all conveying the concept of movement without a fixed destination.
Where others part company with the BSB, they differ on the rendering of אַחֵֽר. The KJV and ASV use another, while the FBV opts for next, indicating a slight variation in emphasis on the sequence of kingdoms.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb יִּתְהַלְּכוּ, they went about, governs the entire verse, with two prepositional phrases following it: one indicating the starting point, מִגּ֣וֹי (from nation), and the other indicating the destination, אֶל־עַ֥ם (to another people). This structure emphasizes the continuous movement of the Israelites.
The arrangement of the phrases highlights the transition from one nation to another, illustrating the nomadic lifestyle of the Israelites as they navigated through different kingdoms.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ as διῆλθον (dielthon), meaning 'they passed through'. This choice reflects a slightly different nuance, emphasizing the act of crossing borders rather than merely wandering.
The term ἔθνους is used for גּוֹי, indicating a focus on the collective identity of the nations encountered, aligning with the original Hebrew meaning.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Psalms 105:13 describes how the Israelites wandered from one nation to another, highlighting their experiences as strangers in foreign lands. This verse emphasizes their nomadic existence and the divine protection they received during their travels.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states, "וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־ גּ֑וֹי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־ עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃", which translates to "they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another." The Septuagint agrees with the Masoretic Text, matching all eight words in a word-by-word correspondence, although the word order and articles differ due to its Greek structure. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls also support the same reading as the Masoretic Text, confirming its consistency across these ancient witnesses.
וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־ גּ֑וֹי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־ עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃
8 of the 8 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.
