Jeremiah 27:5-15: How do MT and LXX relate to each other?

As to the relationship between MT and LXX Jeremiah scholars are of the opinion that the so-called short text underlying LXX, and attested by 4QJerb,d represents an earlier edition of the book of Jeremiah than the longer version of MT, attested by 2QJer and 4QJera,c,e. Most recently Yohanan Goldman has made a very detailed contribution to the discussion in his study, entitled Prophétie et royauté au retour l'exil (1992). One of the chapters he deals with is Chapter 27 (LXX: 34), verse 5-15 (1992:123-167). His thesis is that LXX reflects an earlier Hebrew text of that passage, whereas most pluses in MT are to be seen as part of a later redaction. In this article the differences between MT and LXX Jer 27 (34):5-15 are dealt with, reviewing at the same time the thesis of Goldman. It is argued that LXX of that passage represents a text which is the result of shortening an underlying Hebrew text for reasons of context (e.g. assimilation) and content. The conclusion is that, contrary to his view, MT Jer 27:5-15 attests an earlier text than LXX does.
