Plagiarism in the Old Testament


Recommended Posts

I'm taking a course called The Christian and Old Testament Theology by Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., and learning all sorts of interesting things I never noticed or considered before.

In one lecture, he passingly mentioned Jeremiah 23:30. Here it is in several translations:

Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbor. (KJV)

See, therefore, I am against the prophets, says the LORD, who steal my words from one another. (NRSV)

"Therefore," declares the LORD, "I am against the prophets who steal from one another words supposedly from me..." (NIV)

Interesting, no?

Love,

Steve
