Jeremiah 13:5-7
New English Translation
5 So I went and buried them at Perath[a] as the Lord had ordered me to do. 6 Many days later the Lord said to me, “Go at once to Perath and get[b] the shorts I ordered you to bury there.” 7 So I went to Perath and dug up[c] the shorts from the place where I had buried them. I found[d] that they were ruined; they were good for nothing.

- Jeremiah 13:5 tc The translation reads בִּפְרָתָה (bifratah) with 4QJera as noted in W. L. Holladay, Jeremiah (Hermeneia), 1:393 instead of בִּפְרָת (bifrat) in the MT.
- Jeremiah 13:6 tn Heb “Get from there.” The words “from there” are not necessary to the English sentence. They would lead to a redundancy later in the verse, i.e., “from there…bury there.”
- Jeremiah 13:7 tn Heb “dug and took.”
- Jeremiah 13:7 tn Heb “And behold.”
