Greek δέ (postpositive conjunction) is omitted in both Peshitta and Vulgate. This particle functions as a discourse marker in Greek but lacks direct equivalents in Syriac and Latin syntax, where the clause transition is unmarked.
Greek ὅταν ἔλθωσιν ('when they come') is absent in both Peshitta and Vulgate. The temporal clause is elided, with both traditions proceeding directly to the conditional washing requirement, creating a more compressed syntactic structure.
Greek uses a double conditional construction (ἐὰν μὴ βαπτίσωνται, 'unless they wash'); Vulgate employs nisi + subjunctive (nisi baptizentur); Peshitta uses ܐܠܐ ܥܡܕܝܢ ('except they are baptized'), a functionally equivalent negative conditional idiom in Syriac.
Vulgate inserts a colon after comedunt, creating a stronger pause before the catalogue of traditions. Greek and Peshitta use simple conjunction (καί / ܘ) without marked punctuation, maintaining smoother syntactic flow.
Greek places the adjective after the noun (ἄλλα πολλά); Peshitta reverses to ܣܓܝܐܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ('many other'); Vulgate follows Greek order (alia multa). This reflects standard adjective-placement conventions in each language.
Greek παρέλαβον ('they received') is rendered by Vulgate tradita sunt ('were handed down'), a passive construction emphasizing transmission. Peshitta ܕܩܒܠܘ uses active voice matching Greek semantics but with slightly different aspectual nuance.
Vulgate adds illis ('to them'), making the indirect object explicit. Neither Greek nor Peshitta includes this pronoun, relying on context to identify the recipients of the tradition.
Greek χαλκίων ('bronze vessels') is a single genitive plural noun. Peshitta expands to ܘܕܡܐܢܝ ܢܚܫܐ ('and of vessels of bronze'), using a construct chain with explicit material specification. Vulgate æramentorum mirrors Greek compactness with a single compound noun.
Vulgate concludes with a colon after lectorum, creating formal closure to the catalogue. Greek uses a paragraph marker (¶) and Peshitta has no special punctuation, reflecting differing manuscript conventions for section demarcation.
