| Sumario: | The major differences between the Septuagint and the Massoretic texts of the book of Jeremiah were formerly explained as the result primarily of the assumed free approach of the LXX translator. However, after the discoveries of the Dead Sea scrolls new possible explanations were formulated. There are remarkable correspondences between these extant texts/fragments. Because of its fragmentary state the Qumran material must be approached extremely cautiously. Nevertheless there appears to be evidence of Hebrew texts corresponding to the Septuagint. Jeremiah 43 in the MT, which is 50 in the LXX, is discussed as an appropriate example. The author indicates that the shorter text of the Septuagint probably represents a Hebrew text that is older than the Vorlage of the MT. |
