Parashot

Verse numbering

The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in the Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971.^[3]

The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935), differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs' edition (=CATSS).^[3]

Structure

Verse 1

Verse 3

Verse 5

This "Pharaoh" is Hophra (or Apries), the fourth king (counting from Psamtik I) of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt, ruling 589-570 BC.{{sfn|Thompson|1980|p=25}} His name is written as Ουαφρη[ς], Ouaphre[s] in the Greek Old Testament,^[8] {{lang-grc|Ἁπρίης}} Apries by Herodotus (ii. 161) and Diodorus (i. 68), or Waphres by Manetho, who correctly records that he reigned for 19 years.^[9] He forged an alliance with Zedekiah to rebel against Babylon (cf. {{bibleref2|Ezekiel|17:11-18|KJV}}),{{sfn|Huey|1993|p=329}} sending an army in the summer of 588 BC.{{sfn|Thompson|1980|p=25}} This caused the Chaldeans to temporarily lift the siege in Jerusalem to deal with the Egyptians, but eventually failed to prevent the fall of the city in July 587 BC.{{sfn|Thompson|1980|pp=25-26}} In 570 BC Hophra was forced to rule together as co-regents with Amasis (or Ahmosis/Ahmose II), but three years later Hophra was overthrown and executed, while Amasis continued to be a sole ruler until his death in 526 BC.{{sfn|Huey|1993|p=370}}

Verse 12

The meaning of the Hebrew in this verse is uncertain:^[11] the nineteenth-century biblical commentator Alexander Maclaren suggests that Jeremiah went with a group of Benjaminites, reading "in the midst of the people" with "to go into the land of Benjamin". He argues then that "the others seem to have been let pass, and only Jeremiah detained".^[12]
