The KJV and Hebrew columns present Jeremiah 48, the prophetic oracle of doom against the nation of Moab, in which God pronounces judgment on Moab for its pride, its trust in wealth and military strength, and its mockery of Israel, promising destruction of its cities, exile of its god Chemosh, and national obliteration. The Greek Septuagint column diverges significantly, presenting instead the narrative of Ishmael's assassination of Gedaliah and the subsequent flight of survivors toward Egypt \u2014 a passage that in the Hebrew Bible appears in Jeremiah 41, reflecting the well-documented fact that the LXX arranges Jeremiah's contents in a substantially different order and is roughly one-eighth shorter than the Masoretic text. The distinctive value of this presentation lies in making visible the textual divergence between the LXX and Hebrew traditions \u2014 a major crux in biblical scholarship \u2014 by placing them in direct visual comparison rather than harmonizing them.","tags":["Book of Acts","Greek New Testament","Polyglot Bible"],"text":null,"title":"Polyglot Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah 48","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":3071}
