Subject: [b-hebrew] Dead Sea Scroll version of Jeremiah
Date: Mon, 14 May 2007 20:06:18 +0000
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.
