The Key Word — וְאֶזְרָעֵם, ve.'ez.ra.'Emgenerated
The verb זָרַע (zara`), meaning to sow or scatter, is used here in the first person singular with a suffix, indicating that God Himself will sow His people among the nations. This word conveys both a literal agricultural sense and a figurative one, suggesting the spreading of His people and their influence.
The choice of this verb emphasizes God's active role in the scattering, which is part of His divine plan. The imagery of sowing implies a future harvest, as the people will remember Him and return, suggesting hope and restoration.
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 verb וְאֶזְרָעֵם (and I will sow them) at the beginning, establishing the action. This verb governs the subsequent phrases, which describe where the sowing occurs and the outcomes for the people.
The structure emphasizes the sequential nature of the actions: first, they are sown, then they will remember, live, and return. This flow illustrates the progression from scattering to eventual restoration.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
In the Septuagint, the Hebrew verb זָרַע is rendered as αὐτοὺς (autous), meaning 'them.' This choice reflects a direct translation of the subject rather than the action of sowing, which may indicate a different interpretive focus in the Greek tradition.
The word choice in the Septuagint suggests a broader understanding of the people being gathered rather than just the act of scattering them, hinting at a more communal restoration.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text of Zechariah 10:9 states, 'וְאֶזְרָעֵם֙ בָּֽעַמִּ֔ים וּבַמֶּרְחַקִּ֖ים יִזְכְּר֑וּנִי וְחָי֥וּ אֶת־ בְּנֵיהֶ֖ם וָשָֽׁבוּ׃' which translates to 'Though I sow them among the nations, they will remember Me in distant lands; they and their children will live and return.' The Septuagint, while it has a different word order and articles, aligns with the Masoretic Text in meaning, as 6 of the 8 words match, indicating a strong agreement in the core message. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional textual evidence for this verse, so their agreement or disagreement cannot be assessed here.
וְאֶזְרָעֵם֙ בָּֽעַמִּ֔ים וּבַמֶּרְחַקִּ֖ים יִזְכְּר֑וּנִי וְחָי֥וּ אֶת־ בְּנֵיהֶ֖ם וָשָֽׁבוּ׃
6 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. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
