Then I'm not sure where the difficulty lies. You have correctly understood both
the Greek and the Hebrew. If you are having a problem in the harmonization
between the two, there are several possibilities:
1) The LXX translator had a Vorlage which read "20th" in Hebrew.
2) There is a possible text critical issue in the LXX itself.
3) Either deliberately or not, the LXX mistranslated the Hebrew.
Now, b-Greek is about issues related to Biblical Greek, so I don't doubt that
continuing this discussion along these lines is outside of the list
boundaries...

The Germans actually have one good word in their language, but they misspell it!
