in Matt.
xviii. 23 f., Luke vii. 39 f. (the woman who was a sinner) and xix.
(Zacchaeus).

356 Cornill _in loco_, Skinner, pp. 162 f., both of them in fine
passages on the teaching of the parable, the former exposing the
superficiality of Duhm's impulsive judgment upon it. Cornill finds
that the genuine words of Jeremiah close with verse 4; Skinner, Erbt
and Gillies (p. 158) continue them to 6.

358 xix. 1 ff. The Greek connects this incident with the preceding by
reading _then_ for the Hebrew _thus_, and with many Hebrew MSS. adds
to _saith the Lord_ the phrase _to me_, making Jeremiah himself the
narrator. In xix. 4 read with Greek _whom neither they nor their
fathers knew, and the kings of Judah have filled_, etc. Throughout
Greek lacks phrases which are probably later additions to Hebrew;
but these are not important.

359 See p. 185, n. 2.

360 The above is mainly from the Greek. The following is a significant
instance of how the knowledge of the Bible still holds among some at
least of the Scottish peasantry. A woman in a rural parish calling
on her minister to complain about the harshness of the factor of the
landlord said that he was a very Magor-Missabib. And it is no less
significant that the minister had to consult his concordance to the
Bible to know what she meant!

361 In xxxv the differences between Greek and Hebrew continue to be
those generally found in the Book, i.e. Greek omits the expansive
formulas, including the Divine titles, redundant words (like _all_)
and phrases, and corrects the wrong preposition _to_ by the right
_upon_ (17). Further, it spells differently some of the proper
names, reads _house_ for _chamber_ (4 _bis_), _a bowl_ for _bowls_
(5), _to me_ for _to Jeremiah_ (12), and in 18 does not address the
promise to the Rechabites, but utters it of them in the third
person, also omitting the name of Jeremiah, and in 19 for _for
ever_, lit. _all the days_, reads _all the days of the land_.
