Some most ancient manuscripts containing this chapter in Hebrew language:

Ancient translations in Koine Greek:

Verse 1

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying (NKJV)[5]

Verse 16

Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying,
“Thus says the Lord:
‘Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying,
“Behold, the vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon”;
for they prophesy a lie to you.’ (NKJV)[6]

Verse 22

‘They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I visit them,’
says the Lord.
‘Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.’ (NKJV)[7]
  • The pillars of the temple, named Jachin and Boaz (1 King 7:15-22), the large copper basin called "the sea" (1 King 7:23-26), the stands and vessels (1 King 7:27-39) would be carried to Babylon in 586 BC, when Jerusalem fell, but the vessels were later returned intact by king Cyrus in 538-535 BC (Ezekiel 1:7-11).[8][9]

Verse numbering

The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971.[10]

The order of CATSS based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935), differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs edition (=CATSS).[10]
