94 (1) Jeremiah of Libnah, father of Hamutal, II. Kings xxiii. 31;
xxiv. 18; (2) Jeremiah, father of Jaazaniah, the Rechabite, Jer.
xxxv. 3; (3) Jeremiah the prophet, son of Hilḳiah.
95 Not to be confounded with the temple-priest, Hilḳiah, who was
concerned with the finding of the Law.
96 I. Kings ii. 26 f.
97 Duhm, p. 3.
98 Jer. i. 5.
99 ii. 23, 24; iv. 11; v. 6; viii. 7, 22.

101 iv. 3.
102 Is. x. 28-32.
103 xxxi. 15.
104 Hab. iii. 7.
105 See below on ch. iii.
106 vii. 12-15; xxvi. 6.
107 iv. 15.
108 i. 103-107 (after Hecatæus).
109 See Appendix I—Medes and Scythians.
110 “Jerusalem,” ii. 263, 264.
111 Micah vi. 8.
112 xxii. 15, 16.
113 “Jerusalem,” ii.
114 Though not in every case, for Anathoth itself is but the plural of
the Syrian goddess Anath, as Ashtaroth is the plural of Astart or
Astarte.
115 ii. 28; xi. 13.
116 iii. 2.
117 i. 5.
118 Luke i. 76.
119 See Lecture vii.
120 ii. 18.
121 See his seven Scythian songs below, pp. 110 ff.
122 xviii.
123 xxxvi. 2, a clause which Duhm merely on the grounds of his theory is
obliged to regard as a later intrusion, though it bears no marks of
being such.
124 So Cornill after the Greek.
125 xx. 7.
126 Hebrew adds the redundant _to pull down_; Greek omits.
127 Duhm; see above, p. 40.
128 This is clear from other passages, v. 14; xviii. 7-10, etc.
129 Ball happily translates _wake-tree_.
130 The text reads, _its face is from the face of northwards_, which
some would emend to _its face is turned northwards_, i.e. the side
on which it is blown upon and made to boil. _Boiling_ or _bubbling_,
lit. _blown upon, fanned_.
131 After the Greek; Hebrew has _be opened_.
132 Hebrew has _races and kingdoms_ and adds _Rede of the Lord_.
133 Read אתם with points Chireq and Qamets.
134 Hebrew adds _to them_; Greek omits.
135 The last three couplets are uncertain. In v. 18 Hebrew adds _a
basalt pillar_ and, after _bronze, against all the land_.
136 xxxvi. 32; see pp. 22 ff.
137 P. 37.
138 See pp. 40 f., 72.
139 See p. 41.
140 So simply the Greek; the Hebrew, _And the word of the Lord came unto
me saying, Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem saying_, not
only betrays an editorial redundancy, but what follows is addressed
not to Jerusalem but to all Israel. Here if anywhere the Greek has
the original. Jeremiah begins thus to dictate to Baruch.
141 Hebrew _kebel_ = _breath_.
142 Egypt.
143 So Greek.
144 Lit. _shepherds_.
145 Hebrew adds _Rede of the Lord_.
146 Some Hebrew MSS. and Vulgate.
147 Cyprus = Kittim and Kedár, an Arab tribe, are the extremes of the
world then known to the Jews.
148 So Greek.
149 Hebrew marg. _my_.
150 Or _heave_ (Ball), lit. _be aghast_ but the Hebrew is alliterative,
_shommû shamaîm_.
