The format serves textual-critical comparison, allowing readers to examine lexical and translational differences across the three major biblical manuscript traditions side by side.\n\nThe core narrative is Jeremiah's \"Temple Sermon\" crisis: at the outset of King Jehoiakim's reign, God commands Jeremiah to preach in the Temple court, warning that Jerusalem will become desolate like Shiloh unless the people repent. After he speaks, priests, prophets, and the crowd demand his execution for prophesying against the city. Jeremiah defends himself before the princes, calmly accepting their judgment while insisting his death would bring innocent bloodguilt upon them. The princes ultimately side with Jeremiah, citing the precedent of the prophet Micah, who issued similar warnings under Hezekiah without being executed. The chapter closes with a contrasting case \u2014 the prophet Urijah, who fled to Egypt but was extradited and killed by Jehoiakim \u2014 underscoring Jeremiah's courage by implicit comparison, while noting that Ahikam son of Shaphan protected him.\n\nThe distinctive feature of this presentation is its apparatus-heavy, comparative format \u2014 the KJV column's Strong's numbers enable word-level cross-referencing to the Hebrew, making this primarily a resource for biblical scholars, translators, or students studying textual transmission rather than a devotional or narrative reading edition.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 26","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2387}
