The Text Of Jeremiah Or A Critical Investigation Of The Greek And Hebrew PDF Download

Excerpt from The Text of Jeremiah, or a Critical Investigation of the Greek and Hebrew: With the Variations in the LXX, Retranslated Into the Original and Explained As intimated on the title - page, the present volume is an earnest attempt to solve the difficult problem of the variations between the Greek and Hebrew texts of Jeremiah. Besides discussing the condition and relation of the texts, and explaining the nature and origin of the divergences between them, I have endeavoured to deduce the fundamental principles of deviation, by the application of which the Septuagint translation reveals important matter, as well for the Hebrew grammar and the Hebrew lexicon, as for the history, the interpretation, the correction, and the reconstruction of the present Massoretic text.
