Discovery Box| (0.30) | (Jer 51:45) | 1 sn Cf. Jer 50:8-10; 51:6, where the significance of saving oneself from the fierce anger of the Lord is clarified. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 50:31) | 2 tn Heb “oracle of the Lord Yahweh of Armies.” For the rendering of this title and an explanation of its significance, see the study note on 2:19. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 50:25) | 3 tn Heb “the Lord Yahweh of Armies.” For an explanation of this rendering and the significance of this title, see the study note on 2:19. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 50:24) | 1 tn Heb “You were found [or found out] and captured because you fought against the Lord.” The same causal connection is maintained by the order of the translation, which, however, puts more emphasis on the cause and connects it also more closely with the first half of the verse. The first person is used because the Lord is speaking of himself first in the first person (“I set”) and then in the third. The first person has been maintained throughout. Though it would be awkward, perhaps one could retain the reference to the Lord by translating, “I, the Lord.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 50:1) | 2 tn Heb “The word that the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand of Jeremiah the prophet.” |

| (0.30) | (Jer 46:13) | 1 tn Heb “The word that the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to attack the land of Egypt.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 46:10) | 1 tn Heb “Lord Yahweh of Armies.” See the study note at 2:19 for the translation and significance of this title for God. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 36:1) | 2 tn Heb “This word came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah the king of Judah, saying.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 35:1) | 2 tn Heb “The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the days of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, saying.” |
| (0.30) | (Jer 34:12) | 1 sn This is the resumption of the introduction in v. 8 after the lengthy description of the situation that had precipitated the Lord’s message to Jeremiah. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 34:13) | 1 tn Heb “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘…’” The style adopted here has been used to avoid a longer, more complex English sentence. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 33:14) | 1 tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.” For the first person form of address see the translator’s notes on vv. 2, 10, and 12. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 33:10) | 1 tn Heb “Thus says the Lord.” For the first person rendering see the translator’s note at the end of v. 2. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 32:28) | 1 tn Heb “Thus says the Lord.” However, the speech has already been introduced as first person, so the first person style has been retained for smoother narrative style. |
| (0.30) | (Jer 32:24) | 5 tn The word “Lord” is not in the text but is supplied in the translation as a reminder that it is he who is being addressed. |

| (0.30) | (Jer 29:26) | 2 tc Heb “The Lord has appointed you priest in place of the priest Jehoiada to be overseer in the house of the Lord for/over.” The translation is based on a reading presupposed by several of the versions. The Hebrew text reads, “The Lord has…to be overseers [in] the house of the Lord for/over.” The reading here follows that of the Greek, Syriac, and Latin versions in reading פָּקִיד בְּבֵית (paqid bevet) in place of פְּקִדִים בֵּית (peqidim bet). There has been a confusion of the ם (mem) and בּ (bet) and a transposition of the י (yod) and ד (dalet). |
| (0.30) | (Jer 29:16) | 1 tn Heb “But thus says the Lord about.” The words “just listen to what” are supplied in the translation to help show the connection with the preceding. |
