Linguistic Gap Analysis
Linguistic Gap Analysis: 1 Chronicles (Spanish Destination Language Package)
Curriculum: 1 Chronicles
Core passage: 1 Chronicles 17:1-15
Destination language: Spanish
Baseline authority: Romans Language Package (translation_memory.json, bible_term_registry.json, 12_ai_translation_requirements.md). This analysis extends, never contradicts, established renderings. Where prior output (08_core_glossary.md, updated bible_term_registry.json) has already fixed a rendering, this document analyzes the linguistic reasoning behind that fixture and surfaces residual risk not yet fully fenced.
Method: For each of the five curriculum doctrines, this document (1) inventories the available Spanish lexical options, (2) diagnoses each option’s specific weakness against the Hebrew source concept and the Hispanic religious landscape, and (3) states a recommended strategy. It then separates true missing vocabulary (no adequate Spanish lexeme exists at all) from crowded semantic neighborhoods (a Spanish word exists but is already loaded with competing meaning from Catholic sacramental theology, folk piety, or secular usage). It closes with transliteration-vs-paraphrase decisions and a ranked list of the highest-risk ambiguities in the book.
1. Doctrine Vocabulary Matrix
1.1 Genealogy and the Continuity of God’s People (chs. 1–9, and genealogical notices throughout)
| Candidate Spanish term(s) | Weakness | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| genealogías / generaciones (toledot) | Register is accurate but perceived by modern readers as administrative “filler”; no lexical item conveys that the list is itself a theological argument for covenant continuity across catastrophe (exile, ch. 5, 9). | Retain “genealogías / generaciones” (RV-tradition standard). Compensate with a mandatory discourse-level teaching frame at ch. 1 and ch. 9, not a different word choice — this is a pedagogical gap, not a lexical one. |
| linaje | More literary/dynastic register; risks importing a nobility/aristocratic connotation (hereditary privilege) foreign to the text’s covenant-grace framing. | Reserve “linaje” only for explicitly royal-dynastic material (ch. 3, David’s line); do not use as a general substitute for “genealogía.” |
| descendencia | Already fixed by baseline for seed_of_david/zera; using it loosely for every genealogical list would blur its specific forward-messianic-trajectory function in ch. 17. | Fence: reserve “descendencia” for covenant-promise contexts (17:11); use “genealogías/generaciones” for the structural ch. 1–9 material. |
| engendrar / “fue padre de” | No weakness lexically; risk is register drift toward either clinical (biological-textbook) or overly colloquial phrasing across nine chapters of names. | Standardize on “fue padre de X” for narrative-list format, matching RV/NVI convention; keep consistent across all nine chapters. |
Net gap: Spanish has no single word for the toledot-as-covenant-argument function; this must be carried entirely by teaching notes, not vocabulary choice.
1.2 The Davidic Covenant Reaffirmed (core: ch. 17; also chs. 11, 15–16, 21–22, 28)
| Candidate Spanish term(s) | Weakness | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| pacto (berit) | Already fixed by baseline. New risk in this book specifically: 11:3 uses the identical word “pacto” for a human political agreement (David and Israel’s elders at Hebron), immediately before ch. 17 uses it of God’s own unilateral covenant. One lexeme, two referents. | Retain “pacto” for both (do not introduce “acuerdo” or “convenio” for the human sense — that would create a false lexical distinction the Hebrew does not make). Fence exclusively through a teaching note contrasting the nature of each covenant, not the word. |
| casa (bayit) | No single Spanish word carries palace/temple/dynasty simultaneously the way bayit does; “casa” is the best available approximation but is semantically “thinner” than the Hebrew triple-pun. | Absolute consistency required: “casa” for all three senses, every occurrence, chs. 1, 3–4, 14, 17, 22, 26, 28–29. A single lapse into “templo” or “palacio” independently destroys the chapter’s central reversal (David’s plan to build God a bayit vs. God’s promise to build David a bayit). |
| hijo / Padre (av/ben) | Direct collision risk with the baseline’s Critical son_of_god = “Hijo de Dios” (capitalized, unique eternal deity). 17:13’s “yo le seré por padre, y él me será por hijo” is quoted of Christ in Hebrews 1:5, tempting translators/teachers to import the capitalized phrase here. | Render lowercase “hijo,” never the full capitalized phrase “Hijo de Dios,” for the 1 Chronicles 17:13 referent (Solomon). Require explicit three-tier teaching note (Solomon’s adoptive sonship / believers’ adoption / Christ’s unique eternal Sonship) at every occurrence. |
| misericordia (chesed) | “Misericordia” in mainstream Hispanic Catholic piety is dominated by the compassion-toward-the-guilty/needy sense, intensified by the widespread “Divina Misericordia” devotional movement (St. Faustina Kowalska, extremely popular across Latin America, with its own feast day, chaplet, and imagery). This devotional freight risks absorbing chesed into a compassion-only frame and losing its covenant-loyalty/oath-keeping core. | Always pair “misericordia” with the gloss “amor leal e inquebrantable del pacto” at first occurrence per lesson; explicitly distinguish from both (a) the Divine Mercy devotional framework and (b) the baseline’s NT “gracia.” Never treat as freely interchangeable with either. |
| para siempre (olam) | Everyday spoken Spanish uses “para siempre” as romantic/sentimental hyperbole (“te querré para siempre”), which can drain the term of its binding, oath-level legal-covenantal force in 17:12,14. | Retain “para siempre” (no better lexical alternative exists) but require a teaching note framing it as an irrevocable divine self-commitment, distinguished explicitly from casual romantic usage. |
1.3 Worship and the Levitical Order (chs. 6, 9, 15–16, 23–26)
| Candidate Spanish term(s) | Weakness | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| consagrar(se) / santificarse (qadash) | This is the single most crowded neighborhood in this doctrine. In Catholic sacramental theology “consagración” is the technical term for the Eucharistic transformation of bread and wine (transubstantiation) performed by an ordained priest — an extremely high-frequency, high-salience association for the target audience. Levitical self-consecration (15:12,14) risks being read through this sacramental-transformation lens rather than as ritual/moral preparation for a specific task. | Retain “consagrarse” (no viable substitute exists in standard Bible Spanish) but require an explicit fencing note at every occurrence in ch. 15 distinguishing it from Eucharistic consecration; this risk is distinct from, and in addition to, the baseline’s existing sanctification-doctrine caution. |
| sacerdote (kohen) | Standard and lexically unambiguous, but “sacerdote” in the target culture is anchored to the New Covenant Catholic ordained priesthood, which carries sacramental/mediatorial functions (confession, Eucharist) that the Aaronic priesthood does not perform in the same way. | Keep “sacerdote” (rejecting it would break with universal Spanish Bible tradition) but attach a brief clarifying note at ch. 6 distinguishing the Aaronic/Levitical office from the Catholic ordained priesthood. |
| levitas | No significant weakness; term is not “crowded” by any rival Hispanic-cultural referent. | No change; standard. |
| turno / división de servicio (mishmar) | Spanish lacks a single word combining “rotational roster” + “liturgical duty” + (mild) “guard duty” senses simultaneously; “turno” alone risks a purely secular labor-shift reading; “guardia” alone risks a purely military reading. | Use the compound “turno de servicio,” never either component word alone, when referring to Levitical rostering (chs. 9, 23–24). |
| profetizar (naba, applied to musicians, ch. 25) | Crowded in the opposite direction from most terms in this glossary: contemporary Latin American Pentecostal/charismatic culture actively uses “profetizar” for spontaneous prophetic utterance in worship, which could either (a) helpfully prime readers for the unusual biblical collocation, or (b) wrongly narrow it to ecstatic individual utterance rather than the corporate, musical, Levitical office described in ch. 25. | Retain literal “profetizar” (rejecting the flattening “cantar”) but add a teaching note clarifying this is an organized, hereditary Levitical musical office, not an unstructured charismatic gift as popularly practiced today. |
1.4 Preparation for the Temple (chs. 21–22, 28–29)
| Candidate Spanish term(s) | Weakness | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| casa vs. templo | Chs. 22 and 28–29 continue using “casa” (bayit) for the future sanctuary even after the building’s purpose is unambiguous, but translators are tempted to switch to the more “natural”-feeling “templo” once construction context is explicit, since English study Bibles often gloss bayit as “temple” in these later chapters. | Continue rendering “casa” through ch. 29 wherever the Hebrew retains bayit, preserving the ch. 17 wordplay chain across the whole book; permit “templo” only as a clarifying appositive (“la casa, el templo del Señor”), never as a silent substitution. |
| modelo / plano / diseño (tavnit) | No Spanish word captures “specific, divinely dictated architectural specification transmitted in writing” in one lexeme; each candidate leans either too generic (“modelo,” “diseño”) or too technical/modern (“plano,” which can suggest a modern blueprint drawing rather than a revealed pattern). | Use “modelo” as primary rendering but require the qualifying phrase “que el SEÑOR le dio a conocer por escrito” at first occurrence (28:11-19) to prevent the term from being read as vague inspiration or general concept. |
| holocausto (olah) | Crowded by the dominant modern secular/historical association of “holocausto” with the twentieth-century Holocaust/Shoah — a real risk of jarring or confusing register collision, particularly for younger or less biblically literate learners. | Retain “holocausto” (the standard, tradition-anchored Bible term; inventing an alternative like “ofrenda quemada” would break with the wider Spanish Bible corpus and create cross-document inconsistency). Mandate a brief clarifying gloss at first occurrence per lesson: “ofrenda enteramente quemada en el altar,” distinguishing the biblical-liturgical sense from the modern historical event. |
| Espíritu (ruach, 28:12) | Not itself ambiguous, but risk of overclaiming (reading full New Testament Trinitarian personhood back into the OT text) or underclaiming (treating it as merely “an impulse” or “inspiration” divorced from the baseline’s Critical Espíritu Santo doctrine). | Use “Espíritu,” aligned lexically with the baseline’s “Espíritu Santo,” but teach explicitly as anticipatory OT revelation, not a fully explicit Trinitarian statement. |
1.5 God’s Faithfulness across Generations (cross-cutting: chs. 16–17, 21, 28–29)
| Candidate Spanish term(s) | Weakness | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| fidelidad de Dios | Not a single Hebrew lexeme — this doctrine is a synthesis across chesed (misericordia), olam (para siempre), zakar (acordarse de), and the historical-narrative pattern of the Davidic line surviving exile (chs. 3, 5, 9). No single Spanish word carries the synthesis. | Use “la fidelidad de Dios” as the doctrine’s teaching-level name (already the assigned curriculum title) while explicitly tracing it, term by term, through the four lexical threads already fixed in the glossary (misericordia, para siempre, acordarse de, and the narrative persistence of “reino”/“rey” through chs. 3–9). This is a structural/pedagogical gap requiring cross-referencing, not a new lexical entry. |
| providencia | Already fixed by baseline (Medium/High); risk of fatalistic “destino/suerte” drift, especially acute in ch. 10 (Saul’s death) and ch. 21 (the census/plague narrative) where the text itself raises questions of agency and sovereignty. | Retain “providencia”; reinforce baseline’s rejection of “destino/suerte” specifically at chs. 10 and 21. |
2. Missing Vocabulary vs. Crowded Semantic Neighborhoods
2.1 True Missing Vocabulary (no adequate single Spanish lexeme exists)
| Concept | Why the gap exists | Compensating Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| toledot as covenant-continuity argument | Spanish “genealogía” names the list-form but not its rhetorical/theological function. | Discourse-level teaching note, not a lexical fix. |
| bayit’s triple pun (palace/temple/dynasty) | No Spanish word spans all three domains simultaneously the way bayit does. | Forced lexical consistency (“casa” everywhere) as the only available compensation; the wordplay is preserved structurally, not semantically enriched. |
| tavnit’s “divinely dictated written architectural revelation” | Spanish architectural vocabulary (“plano,” “diseño,” “modelo”) is secular/modern in register; no theological-technical equivalent exists. | Qualifying phrase required at first occurrence (see 1.4 above). |
| mishmar’s liturgical-rotational sense | Spanish “turno” (shift) and “guardia” (guard) each capture only part of the sense. | Mandatory compound “turno de servicio.” |
| goral as reverent providential lot-casting (distinct from both fatalism and gambling) | Spanish “suerte” carries only the fatalistic-vernacular sense (already rejected by the baseline for election) or the gambling/lottery sense; no third register exists for “sanctioned, God-honoring lot-casting.” | Use “echar suertes” as a fixed technical phrase with mandatory teaching gloss distinguishing it from both rejected senses (see 3.4 below — a mirror-image case to the baseline’s election entry). |
| ”God’s faithfulness across generations” as a single doctrinal term | Synthesized across four distinct Hebrew lexemes already tracked separately in the glossary. | Cross-referencing teaching strategy (see 1.5); no new single-word coinage recommended, as inventing one would create a term absent from the wider Spanish Bible tradition. |
2.2 Crowded Semantic Neighborhoods (a Spanish word exists but is already occupied)
| Spanish term | Competing occupant of the semantic space | Fencing required |
|---|---|---|
| santos | Canonized, venerated intercessory saints (baseline Critical risk, reused here for Levitical holiness, ch. 6, 15, 23) | Reuse baseline’s mandatory all-believers/all-consecrated-Levites clarifying note; do not let popular veneration framing bleed into Levitical consecration teaching. |
| consagrar / consagración | Eucharistic consecration (transubstantiation) in Catholic sacramental theology | New fencing note required specific to ch. 15 (see 1.3); this is a risk the baseline Romans package did not need to address as sharply, since Romans has no direct cultic-consecration narrative comparable to ch. 15. |
| sacerdote | Catholic ordained priesthood (confession, Eucharist, apostolic succession) | Clarifying note at ch. 6 distinguishing Aaronic/Levitical office from Catholic New Covenant priesthood. |
| templo | (a) generic term for “any house of worship” including Masonic lodges and other groups’ meeting halls in some regional usages; (b) risk of premature/inconsistent substitution for “casa” (see 1.4) | Reserve for explicit appositive use alongside “casa”; never let it silently replace “casa” mid-book. |
| misericordia | The “Divina Misericordia” devotional movement (St. Faustina); general compassion-toward-sinners piety | Mandatory covenant-loyalty gloss at every occurrence (already fixed in glossary; reinforced here as the single highest-traffic crowded neighborhood in the book). |
| arca | Noah’s ark; a strongbox/treasure chest (“arca de caudales”) | Disambiguating phrase “arca del pacto (del SEÑOR)” at first occurrence per lesson (already fixed). |
| hijo (de Dios) | Baseline’s Critical, capitalized “Hijo de Dios” (unique eternal deity of Christ) | Strict lowercase “hijo,” never the capitalized full phrase, for 17:13’s Solomon referent (see 1.2). |
| echar suertes | Modern lottery/gambling culture (“lotería,” extremely prevalent across Latin America); folk-divination practices (cartomancy, shell-casting associated with Santería and related traditions) | Mandatory dual-direction teaching gloss: NOT fatalism, NOT gambling, NOT folk divination — a reverent submission to God’s hidden providence in a specific sanctioned biblical procedure. This is the mirror-image of the baseline’s rejection of “suerte” for election; teachers must not apply the baseline’s blanket suspicion of “suerte”-language to this legitimate case without the distinguishing note. |
| holocausto | The twentieth-century Holocaust/Shoah | First-occurrence clarifying gloss (see 1.4). |
| profetizar | Contemporary charismatic/Pentecostal “prophesying” practice | Clarifying note distinguishing the organized, hereditary Levitical musical office (ch. 25) from unstructured contemporary charismatic practice, without denying continuity of the underlying Spirit-inspiration concept. |
| Satanás | Popular-culture “el diablo” folklore; Afro-Caribbean religious frameworks (Palo Mayombe, Santería) with their own frameworks for malevolent spiritual agency | Careful theological instruction at ch. 21 preserving both divine sovereignty and real adversarial agency, without collapsing into either folk-diabolism tropes or an over-philosophical abstraction that denies personal agency. |
| pacto | Applied to both a human political agreement (11:3) and God’s own covenant (ch. 17) within the same book | Teaching-note fencing distinguishing referents sharing one lexeme (see 1.2); do not introduce a second Spanish word for the human-covenant sense, which would falsely imply the Hebrew distinguishes them lexically when it does not. |
3. Transliteration vs. Paraphrase Decisions
| Term | Decision | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| הַלְלוּיָה (halleluyah) | Transliterate: “Aleluya” | Extends baseline’s established transliteration convention (Amén, Aleluya) exactly; 1 Chronicles 16:36 is the congregational response to David’s psalm and should read identically to its use elsewhere in the Language Package. |
| יְהוָה (YHWH) | Substitute with established convention: “SEÑOR” (small caps/versalitas) rather than transliterate as “Yahveh” or use RV1960’s “Jehová” | Preserves the baseline’s deliberate lexical continuity between OT YHWH and NT kyrios (“Señor”) to reinforce one-Lord continuity across Testaments; “Jehová” remains an acceptable cited alternative for ecumenical/RV1960-quoting contexts but is not the primary rendering. |
| יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת (YHWH Tseva’ot) | Paraphrase with fixed phrase: “el SEÑOR de los ejércitos” | Rejects both RV1960’s “Jehová de los ejércitos” (breaks SEÑOR-lexeme continuity) and NVI/DHH’s “el SEÑOR Todopoderoso” (loses the literal cosmic-military imagery); standardized per prior glossary decision. |
| חֶסֶד (chesed) | Paraphrase, not transliterate (“misericordia” + mandatory gloss) | No Spanish transliteration tradition exists for chesed (unlike Abba, Halleluyah, Amén); the concept must be carried by a native word plus explanatory gloss rather than an untranslated loanword, which would be unintelligible to the target audience without extensive prior training. |
| תַּבְנִית (tavnit) | Paraphrase (“modelo” + qualifying clause) | No transliteration tradition; architectural-revelation concept must be built compositionally in Spanish. |
| אָב / בֵּן (av/ben, covenantal) | Translate plainly (“Padre”/“hijo”), explicitly NOT elevated to the baseline’s fixed capitalized Christological phrase | A translation (not transliteration) decision, but flagged here because the temptation is to import the baseline’s established phrase rather than translate the immediate OT sense; resisted deliberately. |
| שָׂטָן (satan) | Transliterate: “Satanás” | Already a fully naturalized, standard, unambiguous Spanish Christian term; no paraphrase needed. Risk (per §2.2) is doctrinal-catechetical, not lexical. |
| Proper names throughout genealogies (chs. 1–9) and narrative (e.g., אָרְנָן/Ornan, called Araunah in 2 Samuel 24) | Use established Spanish Bible name forms, per RV/NVI convention, chapter by chapter | Flagged gap: 1 Chronicles’ extensive genealogical lists (chs. 1–9) contain numerous names with known Reina-Valera/NVI spelling variants (e.g., “Ornán” here vs. “Arauna” in 2 Samuel); this Language Package recommends a dedicated proper-name concordance be built as a supplementary asset before Phase 2 begins, since resolving each name inline in this document is out of scope for a linguistic gap analysis but is a genuine, book-specific translation risk not present in Romans. |
| חָזוֹן / נְבוּאָה (chazon/nevuah) | Translate: “visión”/“profecía” | Standard; no transliteration warranted; reuses baseline caution against horóscopo/esoteric-prediction misreadings. |
4. Ranked List of This Book’s Highest-Risk Ambiguities
Ranked by combined weight of (a) doctrinal centrality, (b) syncretism/collision potential with dominant Hispanic religious culture, and (c) frequency/structural importance across the book.
- chesed → “misericordia” (chs. 16–17) — Critical. Collides with the widely practiced “Divina Misericordia” devotional movement and risks silent conflation with the baseline’s NT “gracia.” The single highest-traffic crowded neighborhood in the curriculum.
- bayit → “casa” (triple wordplay consistency) (chs. 1, 3–4, 14, 17, 22, 26, 28–29) — Critical. A single inconsistent rendering anywhere in the book collapses the theological reversal that is the entire argument of ch. 17 and its echoes through the temple-preparation material.
- av/ben → “hijo”/“Padre” at 17:13 — Critical. Direct collision risk with the baseline’s Critical capitalized “Hijo de Dios”; a mistranslation here either strips Solomon’s real covenantal sonship or wrongly elevates him to Christ’s unique eternal status.
- goral → “echar suertes” (ch. 24) — High, mirror-risk. The baseline trains reviewers to distrust “suerte”-language (rightly, for
election); applying that same reflex here would suppress a legitimate biblical practice. Requires reviewers to hold two opposite instructions about superficially similar vocabulary. - qadash → “consagrarse” (ch. 15) — High. Eucharistic-consecration freight is pervasive and largely unaddressed by the baseline package, which had no comparable cultic-consecration narrative in Romans.
- darash → “consultar” vs. consulting mediums (ch. 10) — High. Direct, text-internal syncretism warning (Saul’s death for consulting a medium) intersecting with a live contemporary practice (Espiritismo, Santería) in exactly the regions the baseline already flags for
holy_spiritandresurrection. - satan/Satanás and the ch. 21/2 Samuel 24 tension — High. Doctrinally delicate (compatibilist sovereignty and real agency) and culturally live (folk-diabolism, Afro-Caribbean spiritual frameworks).
- mashach → “ungir” (chs. 11, 29) — High. Etymological gateway to the baseline’s Critical “Mesías”; teaching must thread the needle between meaningful typology and outright identification of David/Solomon as “the Messiah,” a genuine risk in a culture accustomed to multiple venerated anointed/exalted figures.
- kohen → “sacerdote” (ch. 6) — Medium-High. Passive, background risk (no single verse forces the issue) but affects the reader’s whole-book framework for interpreting Levitical service through a Catholic sacramental-priesthood lens.
- olah → “holocausto” (ch. 21) — Medium. Register collision with modern historical usage; resolved by a short gloss, but easy to omit under time pressure in lesson-writing.
- naba → “profetizar” (of musicians) (ch. 25) — Medium. Risk runs in an unusual direction (over-familiarity via contemporary charismatic practice, rather than under-familiarity) and needs a note correcting a modern analogy rather than introducing an unfamiliar concept.
- bayit/templo drift in preparation-for-temple chapters (chs. 22, 28–29) — Medium-High as a structural risk: because the building’s purpose becomes explicit, translators are more likely to relax the ch. 17 consistency discipline exactly where sustained consistency matters most for the doctrine of Preparation for the Temple.
- toledot perceived as filler (chs. 1–9) — Low-to-Medium doctrinal risk but a serious curricular coverage risk: nine chapters could be silently under-taught or skipped, undermining the Genealogy and Continuity doctrine’s entire evidentiary basis.
5. Full-Book Chapter Coverage Confirmation
Per the full-book coverage mandate, every chapter of 1 Chronicles was reviewed for linguistic-gap-relevant vocabulary. Chapters not generating a distinct new entry above are explicitly confirmed as reviewed:
| Chapters | Content | Linguistic Gap Analysis Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | Genealogies from Adam to Israel’s tribes | Reviewed — covered under §1.1 (toledot); no additional chapter-specific terms beyond proper-name concordance gap (§3). |
| 3 | Davidic royal line | Reviewed — covered under §1.1/§1.2 (linaje, reino histórico); reinforces line-through-catastrophe argument. |
| 4–5 | Judah, Simeon, Transjordan tribes; exile notice | Reviewed — covered under §1.1 (inheritance, unfaithfulness, exile terms already fixed in prior glossary; no new gaps). |
| 6 | Levitical/priestly genealogy, cities of refuge | Reviewed — covered under §1.3 (sacerdote, levitas, ciudad de refugio). |

| 11–12 | David’s coronation, mighty men | Reviewed — covered under §1.2 (pacto, human-covenant sense) and §1.3/§4 item 8 (ungir). |
| 13 | Ark incident, Uzza’s death | Reviewed — covered under existing glossary entries (arca, herir de muerte); no new gaps beyond prior fixture. |
| 14 | David’s house (bayit) and victories | Reviewed — covered under §1.2 (casa consistency). |
| 15–16 | Ark procession, Levitical consecration, David’s psalm | Reviewed — covered extensively under §1.3 (consagrarse), §1.5 (misericordia, acordarse de, Aleluya, asamblea). |
| 17 | Core passage — Nathan’s oracle, Davidic Covenant | Reviewed in full detail throughout §§1.2–1.5, 3, 4. |
| 18–20 | David’s wars and conquests | Reviewed — standard military/political vocabulary (tributo, valientes); no new gap-analysis-relevant terms beyond §1.2’s mishmar-adjacent administrative language handled at ch. 27. |
| 21 | Census, plague, altar at Ornan’s threshing floor | Reviewed — covered under §4 items 7, 10 (Satanás, holocausto) and §3 (Ornan/Araunah proper-name variant). |
| 22 | David’s charge to Solomon, temple preparation begins | Reviewed — covered under §1.4 (casa/templo drift risk, wisdom formula). |
| 23–24 | Levitical divisions, priestly courses, lot-casting | Reviewed — covered under §1.3 (turno de servicio) and §4 item 4 (echar suertes). |
| 25 | Levitical musicians who “prophesy” | Reviewed — covered under §1.3/§4 item 11 (profetizar). |
| 26 | Gatekeepers, treasurers, officials | Reviewed — standard administrative vocabulary (tesorería, comandante); no new gaps. |
| 27 | Military and civil administration | Reviewed — standard administrative vocabulary; no new gaps. |
| 28 | David’s charge, the temple pattern (tavnit) | Reviewed — covered under §1.4/§2.1 (modelo/plano), §1.4 (Espíritu). |
| 29 | Freewill offerings, David’s prayer, Solomon’s succession | Reviewed — covered under §1.4 (ofrecer voluntariamente, corazón íntegro) and §4 item 8 (ungir, of Solomon). |
Conclusion: All 29 chapters have been reviewed for linguistic-gap-analysis purposes. No chapter was silently omitted; chapters contributing no new gap beyond already-analyzed categories are explicitly marked “reviewed” above per the full-book coverage mandate.
This analysis must be read alongside 08_core_glossary.md (term-by-term renderings) and the updated bible_term_registry.json/translation_memory.json before Phase 2 segment translation of 1 Chronicles begins. The proper-name concordance gap identified in §3 should be resolved as a supplementary asset prior to translating chs. 1–9.
