Description:... In the book of Jeremiah, the hebrew and greek texts diverge more widely than in any other writing of the Old Testament. The oracles against foreign nations are placed at the end in the Massoretic Text but in the middle by the Septuagint and in a different order. The present work examines chapters four to six in the light of other Northwest semitic literatures, especially Ugaritic.
