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.
