CHAP. VIII.
Ver. 9, 10, 11, 12. [Greek or Hebrew] (LXX. [Greek or Hebrew]) [Greek or Hebrew] § 9 (LXX. [Greek or Hebrew]) [Greek or Hebrew] (LXX. [Greek or Hebrew]) [Greek or Hebrew] (LXX. [Greek or Hebrew]) [Greek or Hebrew]. Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new Covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House of Judah. Not according to the Covenant that I made with their Fathers, when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the Land of Egypt, because they continued not in my Covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. For this is the Covenant that I will make with the House of Israel after those days saith the Lord, I will put my Laws in their minds, and write them in their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his Brother, saying know the Lord; for all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquity will I remember no more. From Jer. 31. v. 32, 33, 34, 35. Instead of [Greek or Hebrew], his neighbour, ver. 11. the LXX. read [Greek or Hebrew], his fellow Citizen. But some Copies of the LXX. read [Greek or Hebrew], and some of this Text [Greek or Hebrew], which makes it evident that there hath been tampering to bring them to Uniformity. But the greatest difficulty of this Quotation ariseth from the Agreement of the Apostles words, and the Translation of the LXX. where both of them seem to depart from the Original. For those words in the Hebrew Text, v. 33. [Greek or Hebrew] which my Covenant they made void, and I was an Husband unto them, or ruled over them, are rendered by them, [Greek or Hebrew], And they continued not in my Covenant, and I regarded them not. The Reason of the Apostles Translation of those words, we shall manifest and vindicate in our Exposition of the Context. At present the coincidence of it with that of the LXX. and that wherein they both seem to differ from the Original, and all Translations, besides the Syriac and the Arabic which are made out of it, (though the Syriac follow it not in the confused transpositions that are made of Jeremiah's Prophesies, from Chap. 25. to Chap. 40. as the Arabic doth) is only to be considered;
