The KJV column covers Jeremiah 34, narrating two linked episodes during the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem: God's prophecy to King Zedekiah that the city will fall and he will be captured, yet will die in peace rather than by the sword; and a subsequent covenant in which Zedekiah and Jerusalem's leaders freed their Hebrew slaves, only to re-enslave them shortly after. The Septuagint column follows different chapter numbering (corresponding roughly to Jeremiah 27 LXX) and covers the symbolic yoke-and-bonds episode, God's declaration of Babylonian sovereignty over the earth, and warnings against false prophets who promise deliverance. A distinctive feature is the rhetorical pivot in the covenant episode: God responds to the re-enslavement by sardonically \"proclaiming liberty\" to sword, pestilence, and famine against the covenant-breakers, and invokes the ancient ritual of passing between a divided calf as the legal framework the people violated. The format presupposes a reader engaged in textual criticism or comparative biblical scholarship, as the value lies precisely in the divergences between the Hebrew, Greek, and English columns \u2014 including the Septuagint's notably different ordering and condensation of material.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 34","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":2245}
