It is numbered as **Jeremiah 40** in the [Septuagint](/source/Septuagint). This book contains prophecies attributed to the [prophet](/source/Biblical_prophet) [Jeremiah](/source/Jeremiah), and is one of the [Books of the Prophets](/source/Nevi'im). ## Text The original text of this chapter, as with the rest of the [Book of Jeremiah](/source/Book_of_Jeremiah), was written in [Hebrew language](/source/Biblical_Hebrew). Since the division of the Bible into [chapters and verses](/source/Chapters_and_verses_of_the_Bible) in the late medieval period, this chapter is divided into 26 verses. ### Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in [Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language) are of the [Masoretic Text](/source/Masoretic_Text) tradition, which includes the [Codex Cairensis](/source/Codex_Cairensis) (895), [the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets](/source/Codex_Babylonicus_Petropolitanus) (916), [Aleppo Codex](/source/Aleppo_Codex) (10th century), [Codex Leningradensis](/source/Leningrad_Codex) (1008).[1] Some fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the [Dead Sea Scrolls](/source/Dead_Sea_Scrolls), i.e., 4QJerc (4Q72; 1st century BC),[2] with extant verses 16-20 (similar to Masoretic Text),[3][4][5] and 4Q252 with the extant verse 17.[6] There is also a translation into [Koine Greek](/source/Koine_Greek) known as the [Septuagint](/source/Septuagint) (with a different chapter and verse numbering), made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the [Septuagint](/source/Septuagint) version include [Codex Vaticanus](/source/Codex_Vaticanus) (**B**; \mathfrak{G}B; 4th century), [Codex Sinaiticus](/source/Codex_Sinaiticus) (**S**; [BHK](/source/Biblia_Hebraica_(Kittel)): \mathfrak{G}S; 4th century), [Codex Alexandrinus](/source/Codex_Alexandrinus) (**A**; \mathfrak{G}A; 5th century) and [Codex Marchalianus](/source/Codex_Marchalianus) (**Q**; \mathfrak{G}Q; 6th century).[7] The Septuagint version doesn't contain a part what is generally known to be verses 14–26 in Christian Bibles.[8] ### Verse numbering The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and [Vulgate](/source/Vulgate) (Latin), in some places differs from that in [Septuagint](/source/Septuagint) (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the [Eastern Orthodox Church](/source/Eastern_Orthodox_Church) and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from *Brenton's Septuagint*, page 971.[8] The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on *[Alfred Rahlfs](/source/Alfred_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).[8] Hebrew, Vulgate, English Rahlfs' LXX (CATSS) 33:1-13 40:1-13 33:14-26 none 26:1-24 33:1-24 ## Parashot The *[parashah](/source/Parashah)* sections listed here are based on the [Aleppo Codex](/source/Aleppo_Codex).[9] Jeremiah 33 is a part of the "*Twelfth prophecy ([Jeremiah 32](/source/Jeremiah_32)-33)*" in the "Consolations (Jeremiah 30-33)" section of *Prophecies interwoven with narratives about the prophet's life ([Jeremiah 26](/source/Jeremiah_26)-45)*. {P}: open *parashah*; {S}: closed *parashah*. - {P} 33:1-3 {P} 33:4-9 {S} 33:10-11 {S} 33:12-13 {S} 33:14-16 {S} 33:17-18 {P} 33:19-22 {S} 33:23-24 {S} 33:25-26 {P} ## Structure The [New King James Version](/source/New_King_James_Version) divides this chapter into the following sections: - = Excellence of the Restored Nation - = The Permanence of God's Covenant ## Cross references - [Jeremiah 33:16](#Verse_16): [Jeremiah 23:5](/source/Jeremiah_23:5), [6](/source/Jeremiah_23:6) ## The LORD promises peace (33:1–13) ### Verse 1 - *Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying*[10] The year was 588 BCE.[11] ### Verse 2 - *Thus says the Lord who made it, the Lord who formed it to establish it (the Lord is His name):*[12] The [Revised Standard Version](/source/Revised_Standard_Version) and other translations explain 'it' as 'the earth',[13] following the Septuagint.[14] Reformation theologian [John Calvin](/source/John_Calvin) argued that 'it' refers to [Jerusalem](/source/Jerusalem) as this verse acts as a [preface](/source/Preface) to verses 4 and 5.[15] The Latin [Vulgate](/source/Vulgate)'s text has the future tense: - *Haec dicit Dominus, qui facturus est, et formaturus illud, et paraturus: Dominus nomen ejus:*[16] English translation: - *Thus saith the Lord, who **will** do, and **will** form it, and prepare it, the Lord is his name*.[17] ### Verse 3 - [The Lord said:] *‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’*[18] - "Mighty": translated from the Hebrew passive participle or adjective which is normally used to describe cities or walls as "fortified" or "inaccessible"; used here metaphorically as "secret" or “mysterious” things, that Jeremiah could not know apart from the Lord’s revelation.[19][20] ## The LORD'S eternal covenant with David (33:14–26) ### Verse 15 - *In those days and at that time* - *I will cause to grow up to David* - *A Branch of righteousness;* - *He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the earth.*[21] - "Branch": translated from (Hebrew: צֶ֫מַח, ); cf. [Isaiah 4:2](/source/Isaiah_4:2); [Isaiah 11:1](/source/Isaiah_11:1); [Jeremiah 23:5](/source/Jeremiah_23:5); [Isaiah 53:2](/source/Isaiah_53:2); [Zechariah 3:8](/source/Zechariah_3:8); [Zechariah 6:12](/source/Zechariah_6:12) - "Branch of righteousness": refers to "a messianic king of Davidic lineage who would rule according to the divine ideal." ### Verse 16 - *In those days Judah will be saved,* - *And Jerusalem will dwell safely.* - *And this is the name by which she will be called:* - *THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.*[22] - "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS" (Hebrew: יהוה צדקנו, [23]): the new name of Jerusalem () is the king's name in [Jeremiah 23:6](/source/Jeremiah_23:6).[24] ### Verse 24 - *"Have you not noticed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two kingdoms he chose’? So they despise my people and no longer regard them as a nation."*[25] The "two kingdoms" or families (Septuagint: δύο συγγενείας, *duo suggeneias*) are generally thought to be Israel the northern kingdom, and Judah the southern kingdom,[26] although in [Ronald Knox](/source/Ronald_Knox)'s [translation](/source/Knox_Bible) he suggests that the reference is "probably [to] the tribes of [Juda](/source/Tribe_of_Judah) and [Benjamin](/source/Tribe_of_Benjamin)", rather than to Israel and Judah or to [Levi](/source/Tribe_of_Levi) and David or Jacob and David, the other possible combinations of families which he considered possible based on the surrounding text.[27] ## See also - [Abraham](/source/Abraham) - [Benjamin](/source/Benjamin) - [Chaldea](/source/Chaldea) - [David](/source/David) - [Isaac](/source/Isaac) - [Israel](/source/Israel) - [Jacob](/source/Jacob) - [Jeremiah](/source/Jeremiah) - [Jerusalem](/source/Jerusalem) - [Levi](/source/Levi) - Related [Bible](/source/Bible) part: [Isaiah 4](/source/Isaiah_4), [Isaiah 11](/source/Isaiah_11), [Isaiah 22](/source/Isaiah_22), [Isaiah 53](/source/Isaiah_53), [Jeremiah 23](/source/Jeremiah_23), [Zechariah 3](/source/Zechariah_3), [Zechariah 6](/source/Zechariah_6) ## References 1.
