Reconstructing 4QJer b According to the Text of the Old Greek
It is generally held that 4QJer b and the Septuagint agree with each other against the Masoretic Text with regard to verse order and brevity of text. Nonetheless, there has never been an attempt to reconstruct the whole of 4QJer b —ninety percent of which is missing—on the basis of the Old Greek. Doing such underscores the closeness of 4QJer b to the text from which the Old Greek was translated.
