In the Masoretic text, Jeremiah 6:23 and Jeremiah 50:42 mention a people that will come arrayed like a man for war. The Septuagint only has Jeremiah 6:22-23, and it says "like a fire" (I think). I know that fire and man are similar in Hebrew esh and eesh.

I also read that there is a Dead Sea Scroll Hebrew version of Jeremiah. Does anyone know if it has Jeremiah 6:23 and 50:42, and if it says "man" or "fire" in one or both of these quotes? I heard that this version of Jeremiah is shorter than the Masoretic text and that it is more like the Septuagint usually.

Sincerely,
