569 Stade's combination (_ZATW_ 1892, 277 ff.) of xxi. 1, 2; xxxvii.
4-10; xxi. 3-10; xxxvii. 11 ff. yields a contradiction--a prayer for
the raising of the siege (xxi. 1, 2) already raised (xxxvii. 5).
Erbt avoids this by combining only xxi. 1, 2_a_; xxxvii. 6-10;
similarly Gillies (p. 309). But, as Cornill says, one cannot explain
how from this form the two accounts have risen. Older critics
(except Ewald) and Davidson, Giesebrecht, Peake, Thomson, (196, 198)
and Cornill refer the passages to different occasions. Skinner
leaves the question in suspense (259 n.). Duhm disposes of xxxvii.
3-10 as a Midrash legend and xxi. 1-10 as "a free composition" upon
it by another hand!

570 Probably the original tenor of verse 4, but the text is confused by
additions.

571 Greek; Hebrew _he_.

572 Greek omits this clause inadvertently. The proposed reversal to _thy
mouth speak with his mouth_ (Giesebrecht, etc.) misses the point;
surely the captor would speak first.

573 Hebrew adds _concerning thee, thou shalt not die by the sword_.

574 Of spices. Some Greek versions read _mournings_, and _so shall they
mourn for thee_.

575 xxxix. 7; II. Kings xxv. 7.

576 Verses 1, 2 either belonged originally to this section, and mark it
as from another source than, or different edition of, Baruch's
memoirs, or more probably were added by an editor as necessary after
the preceding sections (xxxv, xxxvi) from Jehoiakim's reign.

577 Greek reads _say thou_ and _thee_ for _me_, and omits _you_.

578 So Greek.

579 Greek _place_.

582 A possible solution is "that the emancipation was undertaken in
obedience to the neglected law, and that to make their action even
more effect
