Jeremiah 52 is the fifty-second (and the last) chapter of the Book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. This book contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. This chapter contains a "historical appendix", [1] matching (with some supplementary material) the account in 2 Kings 24:18–25:30 of the end of national life in Judah, [2] and also serving as a vindication of Jeremiah's message. [3]
The original text was written in Hebrew. This chapter is divided into 34 verses.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008). [4]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (with a different chapter and verse numbering), made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century). [5] Verses 2-3, 15 and 27c-30 are missing from the Septuagint version. [6]
The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in the Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971. [6]
The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935) differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs' edition (=CATSS). [6]
Hebrew, Vulgate, English | Rahlfs' LXX (CATSS) |
---|---|
52:1,4-14,16-27,31-34 | 52:1,4-14,16-27,31-34 |
52:2-3,15,28-30 | n/a |
The parashah sections listed here are based on the Aleppo Codex. [7] Jeremiah 52 contains the narrative of "Destruction and Hope". {P}: open parashah; {S}: closed parashah.
O'Connor notes six vignettes in this chapter: [3]
Zedekiah reigned as king of Judah 597-587 BCE. [8]
The contemporary religious situation in Judah is described in Ezekiel 8. [8]
The siege of Jerusalem lasted from January 587 BCE to August 586 BCE (cf. Jeremiah 39:4–5). [8]
Cross references: 2 Kings 25:7; Jeremiah 39:7
The calamity surrounding the fall of Jerusalem (and the burning of the Solomon's Temple) is commemorated in modern times Judaism by an annual fast day " Tisha B'Av". [22] [23]
Hashem condemned this day to become destined for national disasters throughout history...
Tisha B'Av initially became destined for tragedy...
