Jeremias 27:1
In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, this word came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
The verse in its languages
- Vulgate (Clementine)
- In principio regni Joakim filii Josiæ regis Juda, factum est verbum istud ad Jeremiam a Domino, dicens :
- Septuagint (Swete)
- The Septuagint has no verse matching this one here: it lacks the verse, or carries it elsewhere in its own order.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- בְּרֵאשִׁ֗ית מַמְלֶ֛כֶת יְהוֹיָקִ֥ם בֶּן יֹאושִׁיָּ֖הוּ מֶ֣לֶךְ יְהוּדָ֑ה הָיָ֞ה הַדָּבָ֤ר הַזֶּה֙ אֶֽל יִרְמְיָ֔ה מֵאֵ֥ת יְהוָ֖ה לֵאמֹֽר
Haydock's commentary
Joakim. This revelation was made to the prophet in the beginning of the reign of Joakim: but the bands were not sent, to the princes here named, before the reign of Sedecias, ver. 3. (Challoner)
He wore them six or seven years. (Vatable) (Tirinus)
But this is uncertain. Septuagint omit this title. Syriac, Arabic, &c., read "Sedecias." (Calmet)
As far as Juda may belong to the last chapter. St. Jerome includes the whole verse. (Haydock)
It seems to be rather a fresh prophecy, or the title may be spurious, like many in the Psalms. See chap. xxvi. 1., and xxviii. 1., and Isaias xxi. 13.
