What Does Numbers 29:15 Mean in the King James?
And a several tenth deal to each lamb of the fourteen lambs:
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The tenth is counted out for each lamb, keeping every one distinct within the count of fourteen.
THE MEANING
Each of the fourteen lambs has a tenth-part measure assigned to it. The count and the portion stay paired, making the measure individual all the way through the group.
THE ROOT
עִשָּׂרוֹן
ʿissaron
GROWS FROM
עשר
ʿ-s-r
Ten, the count from which the word for a tenth-part measure is formed.
“tenth deal” in this verse is ʿissaron. עִשָּׂרוֹן (ʿissaron, “tenth-part measure”) grows from עשר (ʿ-s-r, “ten”). The Hebrew repeats the measure alongside “for each lamb,” making the tenth a defined unit apportioned to every animal.
ALSO GROWS
ʿeser: The number ten.
עֶשֶׂר
It reveals the counted base within the measured portion.
maʿaser: A tenth given as a tithe.
מַעֲשֵׂר
It carries the same ten-root into a distinct tenth-part set aside from a larger whole.
THE PATTERN
A shared provision is specified as a measured portion for each recipient.
This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.THE THREAD
And concerning the tithe of the herd, or of the flock, even of whatsoever passeth under the rod, the tenth shall be holy unto the LORD.The Hebrew מַעֲשֵׂר (maʿaser, “tithe”) shares the root עשר (ʿ-s-r, “ten”) with עִשָּׂרוֹן (ʿissaron, “tenth-part measure”). The same root names a measured tenth here and the flock’s tithe there.
