Book Synopsis
This volume represents a comparative analysis of the Greek and Hebrew text forms of Jer 10:1-18. The Hebrew text’s ancient battle hymn has been transformed by the Greek text form (and Qumran’s 4Q71) into an apotropaic incantation against evil spirits. The two text forms of chapter 10 hinge upon the interpretation of verse 11. Does one find exorcistic magic in the obscure Aramaic words? Or, can one make sense of Jeremiah’s enigmatic condemnation of idolatry in the Hebrew text form’s more elaborate arrangement? We shall see that Masoretic text’s organization proves to evidence a more ancient poetic tone and structure in comparison to the Septuagint’s modified content.
