Context — A Lament Against the Wickedgenerated
Psalm 109:10 expresses a deep desire for the downfall of the wicked and their families. The psalmist calls for the children of the wicked to be left destitute, wandering as beggars, which reflects the consequences of their father's actions. This verse is part of a larger theme in the psalm, where the psalmist seeks divine retribution against those who do evil, as seen in the preceding and following verses.

The Key Word — נוּעַ, ve.No.a'generated
The Hebrew word נוּעַ (nuwa`) is a primitive root meaning to shake or waver. It encompasses actions such as quivering, trembling, and moving, which can describe both literal and figurative movements. In this context, it conveys the idea of wandering aimlessly, highlighting the instability and desperation of the children.
The parsing as a verb in the imperfect tense indicates an ongoing action, suggesting that the wandering is not a one-time event but a continuous state of being. This aligns with the psalmist's wish for the children to remain in this state of instability and lack.
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 יָנ֣וּעוּ governs the whole verse, indicating the action of the children. The structure includes several phrases: an adverbial phrase describing how they wander, a series of verbs indicating their actions, and a prepositional phrase that specifies their location.
The sentence is built around the main action of wandering, with the phrases elaborating on the conditions of the children and their desperate situation.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יָנ֣וּעוּ as μεταναστήτωσαν, which conveys a similar sense of wandering but may imply a more permanent relocation. This choice reflects a broader interpretation of the Hebrew term, suggesting not just aimless wandering but a more profound displacement.
The Greek word ἐπαιτησάτωσαν for שִׁאֵ֑לוּ emphasizes the act of begging, aligning closely with the psalmist's intent for the children to seek sustenance in a state of need.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Psalms 109:10 reads, "וְנ֤וֹעַ יָנ֣וּעוּ בָנָ֣יו וְשִׁאֵ֑לוּ וְ֝דָרְשׁ֗וּ מֵחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶֽם׃" which translates to, "May his children wander as beggars, seeking sustenance far from their ruined homes." The Septuagint closely aligns with the Masoretic Text, as five out of six words match in a word-by-word correspondence, indicating a strong agreement between the two. However, the exact wording and structure differ due to the Septuagint's own sentence construction. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls are not explicitly mentioned here, but it is important to note that they may provide additional context or variations that could further illuminate this verse, although specific details are not provided in this instance. Overall, the primary witnesses show a significant level of agreement with the Masoretic Text.

5 of the 6 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.

Beg
That the poor existed among the Hebrews we have abundant evidence (Ex. 23:11; Deut. 15:11), but there is no mention of beggars properly so called in the Old Testament. The poor were provided for by the law of Moses (Lev. 19:10; Deut. 12:12; 14:29). It is predicted of the seed of the wicked that they shall be beggars (Ps. 37:25; 109:10).
