Afterlife 14: Jeremiah and the Two Traditions
About this episode
This episode explores the differences between the Masoretic Hebrew tradition and the Greek Septuagint, particularly in the book of Jeremiah.
There are two distinct literary traditions behind the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh). Most important is the Masoretic Hebrew tradition. The other tradition is the Greek bible, known as the Septuagint. While the two traditions are in broad agreement, sometimes they diverge quite significantly. One of those places is in the book of Jeremiah. In this episode, Gil and I explore these differences.
