21 Reading a Qal perfect from the root II נָהַר (nahar; so 509 and ) rather than I נָהַר (so 625 ).
22 Heb “Oracle of the Lord.” This phrase has been brought up to the beginning of v. 13 from the end of v. 14 to introduce the transition from third person description by Jeremiah to first person address by the Lord.
23 The translation follows the reading of the (Greek version). The Hebrew reads “will dance and be glad, young men and old men together.” The Greek version presupposes a Qal imperfect of a rare verb (יַחְדּוּ [yakhdu] from the verb חָדָה [khadah]; see 292 II חָדָה Qal) as opposed to the Hebrew text which reads a common adverb יַחְדָּו (yakhdav). The consonantal text is the same but the vocalization is different. There are no other examples of the syntax of the adverb used this way (i.e., of a compound subject added to a third subject) and the vocalization of the Hebrew text can be explained on the basis of a scribe misvocalizing the text based on his greater familiarity with the adverb.
24 Heb “I will satiate the priests with fat.” However, the word translated “fat” refers literally to the fat ashes of the sacrifices (see Lev 1:16; 4:2 and cf. 206 דֶּשֶׁן 2. The word is used more abstractly for “abundance” or “rich food” (see Job 36:16 and 206 דֶּשֶׁן 1). The people and the priests were prohibited from eating the fat (Lev 7:23–24).
