The beginning of the section on "The Prophet Jeremiah" begins with this text: "The Prophet Jeremiah is the book that describes was a son of a priest from Anatot in the land of Benjamin, who lived in the last years of the Kingdom of Judah [...]"
There's obviously something wrong with this; it's not even a grammatical sentence. Meaningwise, too, I assume it should say that the Prophet Jeremiah was/is said to have been a person, not a book. I'm not sure how best to fix it though. 68.252.44.110 ( talk) 13:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
יִרְמְיָהוּ Yirməyāhū - the "yahu"part refers to God...(For example, http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Netanyahu.html states that Netanyahu is derived from "Gift of God")
Something should be added (with reference if possible) indicating the Hebrew rootmeaning of "Yirmiyahu" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.84.179.9 ( talk) 19:37, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
I added this small section in the 'Prophetic Acts' section. It seems important because centuries later the blood-money Judas got for betraying Jesus was also used to purchase a field. Here the symbolism is very different tho, as is the price - 17 silver shekels in Jeremiah; 40 pieces of silver in the NT. Smokey TheCat 11:41, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
Conservative scholars argue only Baruch edited Jeremiah. There is no consensus on later edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 106.131.161.184 ( talk) 01:14, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
