21 The Oracle for Baruch, dated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, 604 B.C., is not given till ch. xlv, a long way off from ch. xxxvi to which it belongs by date and subject, and only after chs. xl-xliv, the story of Jeremiah’s life after the fall of Jerusalem. 22 So far as it is common to the Hebrew and the Greek. _ 23 The end of_ is wanting in the Greek. 24 Chs. xl-xliv. And between them the title and its supplement ignore the Oracles which Jeremiah uttered under Josiah after the thirteenth year of the King, perhaps iii. 6-18, and certainly xi. 1-5, 6-8. 25 Ch. lii. 26 E.g. iii. 6-18; ix. 23-26 with x. 1-16; xxi. 11-12 with (probably) 13-14. 27 E.g. ii. 26; v. 13; x. 11, the last written in Aramaic. 28 Cp. xxiii. 7, 8 with xvi. 14, 15, and xxx. 23, 24 with xxiii. 19, 20. 29 x. 1-16; xvii. 19-27 (on the Sabbath—unlike Jeremiah, who did not lay stress on single laws but very like post-exilic teaching, e.g. Neh. xiii and Is. lviii), possibly xxiii. 1-8; xxv. 12-14 (the obviously late _as at this day_ in verse 18 and verse 26_b_ are omitted by the Greek). 30 Parts of xxx and xxxi, especially xxxi. 7-14, the spirit of which is so much that of the Eve of the Return from Exile and the style so akin to that of the Great Prophet of that Eve that some take it as dependent on his prophecies. 31 xlvi-li, especially on Moab, xlviii. 40-47, which is based on the earlier prophecy, Is. xv-xvi; on Edom, xlix. 7-22, based on Obadiah; Elam, xlix. 34-39; and the long prophecy on Babylon, l. 1-58, which reflects like Is. xl. ff. the historical situation just before the Medes overthrew Babylon, and expresses an attitude towards the latter very different from Jeremiah’s own fifty years earlier. The compiler, or an editor of the Book, has (li. 60) erred in attributing this long prophecy to Jeremiah. In all these there may be genuine nuclei. 32 Ch. lii. 33 So Greek, Hebrew has _Israel_. 34 N. Schmidt in the “Encyclopædia Biblica.” 35 Professor Schmidt, in the article already quoted, takes this to mean only that Jeremiah “retouched under fresh provocation” the contents of the first Roll. This interpretation would imply that _words_ means nouns, verbs, adjectives and so forth, whereas _words_ can only carry the same sense as it carries in the rest of the Book, viz. _whole_ Oracles or Discourses. Note the phrase _words like them_, viz. like _the words_ or Oracles on the first Roll. 36 Cp. A. B. Davidson, “Jeremiah,” in Hastings, “B.D.,” ii. 522. 37 Schmidt, _op. cit._ 38 xlv. 5. 39 Chs. i., xi., 1-8, 18-xii. 6; xiii. 1-17; xviii. 1-12. 40 Chs. xxiv, xxviii, xxxii (except for the introductory verses 1-5). 41 “De Sacra Pœsi Hebræorum,” 1753.
