Isaiah 44:6-8 in the Septuagint

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

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.

This is a comparison of the Septuagint Greek version of Jeremiah 20:7-13 and the Hebrew text (represented by the New Revised Standard Version, used in the Episcopal lectionary).
