Footnote 3 – The Book of Jeremiah: a Work in Progress

Both versions are readily available in English translations. The longer Hebrew version, based on MT, is represented, with minor differences, in almost all modern Bible translations, starting with the 17th-century King James Version. The shorter version, which served as the model for the LXX, is found in modern translations of the Septuagint, such as Sir Launcelot C.L. Brenton, The Septuagint Version of the Old Testament with an English Translation (1851; Peabody, MA: Hendrickson, 1986).
