3, etc. Urijahu, 173. Wady Farah, 184. Wellhausen, 5, 146. Winckler: "A.T. Untersuchungen," 142, 176, 382, 383. FOOTNOTES 1 A. B. Davidson. 2 A. B. Davidson. "Without Jeremiah," says Wellhausen, "the Psalms could not have been composed." 3 Cp. e.g. Jer. xi. 19, with Is. liii. 7; and see Grotius, "Annotata ad Vetus Testamentum," on Is. lii-liii; Cornill, "Das Buch Jeremia erklaert," pp. 11-12; John Skinner, "Prophecy and Religion," p. 351. 4 II. Chron. xxxvi. 21 (with a reference to Lev. xxvi. 34, 35) and 22, 23, the latter repeated in Ezra i. 1-2. Duhm, indeed, but on insufficient grounds, thinks the former citation, because of its reference to Leviticus, cannot be from our Book of Jeremiah but is from a Midrash unknown to us; yet the chronicler's was the very spirit to associate a Levitical provision with Jer. xxix. 10; cp. xxv. 9-12. The other quotation Duhm refers to some part of Is. xl. ff. (xliv. 28?) as though this had at one time been attributed to Jeremiah. 5 In the Apocrypha proper, (1) "Baruch" to which is attached (2) "The Epistle of Jeremy" warning the Jews of Babylon in general and conventional terms against idolatry. Apocalyptic writings, (3) "Apocalypse of Baruch," (4) (5) and (6) three other "Apocalypses of Baruch," (7) "The Rest of the Words of Baruch," or "Paralipomena Jeremiae," (8) "Prophecy of Jeremiah." For particulars of these see "Encyclopaedia Biblica," arts. "Apocalyptic Literature" (R. H. Charles), and "Apocrypha" (M. R. James). 6 Following Hitzig, C. J. Ball ("The Prophecies of Jeremiah" in "The Expositor's Bible," 1890, pp. 10 ff.) refers Pss. xxiii, xxvi-xxviii to Jeremiah, and it is possible that in particular the personal experiences in Ps. xxvii are reflections of those of the prophet. But such experiences were so common in the history of the prophets and saints of Israel as to render the reference precarious. 7 It has been calculated that the Greek has 2700 words fewer than the Hebrew, i.e. about 120 verses or from four to five average chapters. 8 E.g. ii. 19, 29; iii. 1; v. 4_a_; viii. 16, 21; xxxii. 12, etc. _ 9 ne'um Yahweh: utterance_ or _oracle_ of _Jehovah_. 10 E.g. the words _at his mouth_, xxxvi. 17; xxxviii. 16. 11 E.g. _Jerusalem_ in viii. 5, and in
