Jeremiah 27
The original text was written in Hebrew language. This chapter is divided into 22 verses. Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008). Some fragments containing parts of this chapter were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, i.e., 4QJerc (4Q72; 1st century BC), with extant verses 1‑3, 13‑15 (similar to Masoretic Text). There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (with a different chapter and verse numbering), made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; formula_1B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: formula_1S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; formula_1A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; formula_1Q; 6th century). The "parashah" sections listed here are based on the Aleppo Codex. Jeremiah 27 is a part of the "Tenth prophecy (Jeremiah 26-29)" in the section of "Prophecies interwoven with narratives about the prophet's life (Jeremiah 26-45)". {P}: open "parashah"; {S}: closed "parashah". {P} 27:1-22 {P} The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from "Brenton's Septuagint", page 971. The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on "Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta" (1935), differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in "Göttingen LXX". "Swete's Introduction" mostly agrees with Rahlfs' edition (=CATSS). "In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying" This verse is absent from the Septuagint. In place of Jehoiakim, the English Standard Version, NABRE, New International Version and Revised Standard Version refer to Zedekiah. The New American Bible (Revised Edition) advises that "the Hebrew text actually has “Jehoiakim”, but the content of the chapter indicates that Zedekiah is intended. "Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying,"
 ""Thus says the Lord:"
 "'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying,"
 ""Behold, the vessels of the Lord’s house will now shortly be brought back from Babylon";"
 "for they prophesy a lie to you.'""
 "'They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day that I visit them,’"
 "says the Lord."
 "‘Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.'"
