Isaiah 44:6-8 in the Septuagint

This is today's passage in the Episcopal lectionary, track 2. There are a lot of differences in these three verses!

1 Peter 1:10: The Final Clause

Image
I am preparing a book on the syntax (mainly, the relationships among clauses) of 1 Peter. At the end of 1:10 is a relative clause with an interesting internal structure. This does not fit well with the general content of the book, but it is worth putting here for the reference of those interested.

Zechariah 9:9-12 in the Septuagint

Image
For a short passage, this one certainly has a lot of interesting features!

Jeremiah 28:5-9 in the Septuagint

Image
Notice that this chapter is numbered 28 in Hebrew and English, but in the Septuagint it is numbered 35. Jeremiah in the Septuagint is about 1/8 shorter than it is in the Masoretic text, and it is arranged rather differently. A table with the differences and omissions can be found here: https://www.ccel.org/bible/brenton/Jeremiah/appendix.html.
