“…It is true that LXX Jeremiah 25:1-13 does not mention explicitly the gathering of the dispersed Jews, but the devastation of 'that nation' (v. 12; i.e. the 'clan from the north') and of 'that land' (v. 13) marking 23.On this understanding in other Jewish sources of the time, see Bryan (2018).…”

This article is not meant to contribute to the debate on the textual history of the book of Jeremiah but intends to examine specific data in the Old Greek version (Septuagint [LXX] Jeremiah) in the light of Jewish literature at the time of the translator. The angle of approach concerns the word usage related to exile and diaspora in LXX Jeremiah 25 and 36, on the one hand, and 2 Maccabees 1–2 and Tobit 14, on the other hand. I shall argue that the latter two texts display a usage of the terminology involved that at the same time is related to a particular view of the post-exilic age. After a brief discussion of the terminology involved from a broader perspective, LXX Jeremiah 25 and 36 are looked at from a perspective obtained from the analysis of the two contemporary texts.Contribution: This article fits within the scope of HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies since it contributes to research regarding historical thought (source interpretation, reception of and traditions about Jeremiah) and hermeneutics.

“… 45 As Gregory (2007) points out, this passage assumes that Israel’s exile is ongoing during the second temple period ( pace Bryan 2018). On Israel’s enduring exile in other texts, see Halvorson-Taylor (2011); Staples (2021). …”

Melchizedek, the Son of Man, and Eschatological Jubilee: The Sin-Forgiving Messiahs in 11QMelchizedek and Mark

This article asks why Jesus in Mk 2.10 interprets the authority (ἐξουσία/שלטן) of the Son of Man in Dan. 7.14 as the authority to forgive sins. I approach this question by looking at 11QMelchizedek (11Q13). Drawing on a constellation of texts pertaining to jubilee (Lev. 25, Isa. 61.1, Dan. 9.24–27), 11QMelchizedek portrays Melchizedek as forgiving Israel’s sins by his jubilean declaration of ‘liberty (דרור‎)’ (II 6). In light of similar intertextual moves being made in Mark, I suggest that Mk 2.10—‘the Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on the land (ἀϕιέναι ἁμαρτίας ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς)’—invokes the language of the jubilee legislation in Lev. 25.10: ‘you will declare forgiveness on the land (διαβοήσετε ἄϕεσιν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς).’ I conclude that this interpretation of ‘authority’ in Dan. 7.14 stems from an assumed conflation between the Son of Man of Dan. 7.13–14 with the herald messiah of Isa. 61.1, as well as an interpretation of Isa. 61.1 in which the messiah enacts the eschatological forgiveness of Israel’s sins by his jubilean declaration of liberty.
