Abstract: The present article analyzes the semantics of legal terms that JeremiahLXX uses as equivalents of the term הרות . These terms are examined in light of the semantics of the term הרות and of Hebrew terms with Greek equivalents that are elsewhere used as equivalents of הרות . While the use of legal terms in the first part of JeremiahLXX largely accords with JeremiahMT, the use of legal terms in the second part of JeremiahLXX differs significantly from JeremiahMT. The change of terminology in JeremiahLXX roughly accords with Tov’s hypothesis that the second part of JeremiahLXX was revised.
