497 This title has been much expanded, as the briefer Greek shows, and indeed much more than it shows. In 1 the addition of _priests and prophets_ is in view of 8 and 15 evidently wrong. The Hebrew _remnant of_ (before _the elders_) which Greek lacks is difficult. It seems a later addition to the text when many of the elders had died. Duhm’s suggestion of a revolt of the early exiles and the execution of many of the elders by Nebuchadrezzar is imaginary. In verse 2 we have such a needless gloss or expansion as later scribes were fond of making. 498 Greek omits this line. 499 Hebrew adds _there_. 500 Greek; Hebrew _city_. 501 8 and 9 strike one as a premature reference to the prophets. 502 Greek perhaps better _your people_, for in seventy years the elders addressed must have died out. 503 Duhm. 504 As even Lucian’s version shows in spite of its retaining 16-20. 505 Greek lacks the names of both the fathers, and also the last clause of Hebrew, 21, _which prophesy a lie to you in My Name_. 506 This verb is a play on the name of Ahab’s father. 507 In Hebrew follows in 25_a_ a useless editorial addition. 508 Hebrew precedes this with _to all the people which are in Jerusalem and_, and follows it with _and to all the priests_, additions very doubtful in view of verse 29. In II. Kings xxv. 18 Ṣephaniah is _second priest_. 509 The time of the captivity. 510 Greek lacks the unnecessary remainder. 511 The following are some details as to xxvii. The Hebrew verse 1 is not given by Greek; _Jehoiakim_ is of course a copyist’s error for _Ṣedekiah_, as 3, 12, 20 and xxviii. 1 show. Greek lacks the second clause of verse 5, all 7, several clauses of 8, one of 10, from _under_ onwards in 12, all 13, the first of 14, _now shortly_ in 16 (but adds _I have not sent them_), all 17, the last half of 18, most of 19, much of 20, all 21, and two clauses of 22. 512 Greek _the earth_. 513 Hebrew _my servant_. 514 Hebrew adds _pestilence_. 515 Greek; Hebrew _dreams_. 516 Greek; Hebrew _your_. 517 So adds Greek. 518 The general differences in xxviii are: after _the Lord_ Hebrew adds _of Hosts the God of Israel_ verses 2, 14; in 11 and 14 the name _Nebuchadnezzar_ as in xxvii; in 3, 4, 14, 16, 17 unnecessary explanatory clauses or expansions; and throughout the title _the prophet_ to the names _Jeremiah_ and _Hananiah_ respectively. Of all these the Greek is devoid; other differences are marked in the notes to the translation. 519 The prophetic perfect = _I will break_, verse 4. 520 As in xxvii. 16 Greek puts the priests after the people. 521 Baruch is not well accustomed to long sentences, therefore repeats this clause (Duhm). 522 Greek lacks the bracketed words; _famine_ by changing one letter of the Hebrew for _evil_.
