19:1 The Lord told Jeremiah, 1 “Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. 2 Take with you 3 some of the leaders of the people and some of the leaders 4 of the priests.
1 tn The word “Jeremiah” is not in the text. Some Hebrew
2 tn Heb “an earthenware jar of the potter.”
3 tc The words “Take with you” follow the reading of the Syriac version and to a certain extent the reading of the Greek version (the latter does not have “with you”). The Hebrew text does not have these words but they are undoubtedly implicit.
4 tn Heb “elders” both here and before “of the people.”
