[3:17] The sons of Jeconiah the captive: Shealtiel his son,

Greek–English: Literal-Smooth (Saints Priority)

[3:17] The sons of Jechonia-asir: Salathiel his son,

Classification & Notes

Different. Text: Hebrew assir is provisionally read as captive, though a personal-name construal is possible. The displayed Greek joins the transliteration to Jechonia as a compound, preserved here without translating it into a captivity statement.

Verse 3:18 Different

Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)

[3:18] Malchiram, Pedaiah, Shenazzar, Jekamiah, Hoshama, and Nedabiah.

Verse 3:21 Disparate

Hebrew–English: Literal-Smooth (Rabbinic Priority)

[3:21] Hananiah's son: Pelatiah and Jeshaiah; the sons of Rephaiah, the sons of Arnan, the sons of Obadiah, the sons of Shecaniah.

[3:21] Ananias's sons: Phalletia, and Isaiah his son, Raphaia his son, Orna his son, Abdia his son, Sechenia his son.

Classification & Notes

Disparate. Text: Hebrew lists repeated sons-of groups after the opening names, while Greek gives a succession of singular his-son links. The resulting genealogical structure changes from grouped descendants to an explicit generational chain. The compressed Hebrew opening remains unresolved rather than silently rewritten to match Greek.

Verse 3:22 Different
