Jeremiah 52

This chapter is called an Appendix in my old JB. Really! It is a summary of the destruction and a reflection of all the items of cultic value that were ruined for their precious metals. It reads and sings like a lament for a lost culture. Verse 18, another long verse with no rest, just a continuing list of things lost, and this continuing into verse 19 (bars 158-168 below). (It's different, isn't it, thinking of a scripture verse with bar numbers.)

Capital (כפתר) is also כתר, so close it seems the peh got dropped between Exodus 25 and Jeremiah 52. Not impossible, I suppose. I have let them be equivalent in English.

Jeremiah 52 Fn Min Max Syll
בֶּן־עֶשְׂרִ֨ים וְאַחַ֤ת שָׁנָה֙ צִדְקִיָּ֣הוּ בְמָלְכ֔וֹ וְאַחַ֤ת עֶשְׂרֵה֙ שָׁנָ֔ה מָלַ֖ךְ בִּירֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם
וְשֵׁ֣ם אִמּ֔וֹ חֲמוּטַ֥ל בַּֽת־יִרְמְיָ֖הוּ מִלִּבְנָֽה
1 A child of twenty one years was Zedekiah when he began to reign, and eleven years he reigned in Jerusalem,
and the name of his mother was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah, from Libnah.
3e 4C 28
15
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ הָרַ֖ע בְּעֵינֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה
כְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֖ה יְהוֹיָקִֽים
2 And he did evil in the eyes of Yahweh,
according to everything that Jehoiachim had done.
3e 4B 10
10
כִּ֣י ׀ עַל־אַ֣ף יְהוָ֗ה הָֽיְתָה֙ בִּירוּשָׁלִַ֣ם וִֽיהוּדָ֔ה עַד־הִשְׁלִיכ֥וֹ אוֹתָ֖ם מֵעַ֣ל פָּנָ֑יו
וַיִּמְרֹ֥ד צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּמֶ֥לֶךְ בָּבֶֽל
3 B For by the anger of Yahweh it happened, in Jerusalem and Judah until his casting them out from his presence,
that Zedekiah mutinied against the king of Babel.
3e 4B 24
12
וַיְהִי֩ בַשָּׁנָ֨ה הַתְּשִׁעִ֜ית לְמָלְכ֗וֹ בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ הָעֲשִׂירִי֮ בֶּעָשׂ֣וֹר לַחֹדֶשׁ֒ בָּ֠א נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֨ר מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֜ל ה֤וּא וְכָל־חֵילוֹ֙ עַל־יְר֣וּשָׁלִַ֔ם וַֽיַּחֲנ֖וּ עָלֶ֑יהָ
וַיִּבְנ֥וּ עָלֶ֛יהָ דָּיֵ֖ק סָבִֽיב
4 And it happened in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth new moon, on the tenth of the month, Nebukadretsar, king of Babel came, he and all his force, against Jerusalem, and they encamped against her,
and they built against her a siege-wall round about.
3d 4C 51
10
וַתָּבֹ֥א הָעִ֖יר בַּמָּצ֑וֹר
עַ֚ד עַשְׁתֵּ֣י עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה שָׁנָ֔ה לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ צִדְקִיָּֽהוּ
5 And the city came under siege,
until the eleventh year of the reign of Zedekiah.
3e 4C 8
14
בַּחֹ֤דֶשׁ הָֽרְבִיעִי֙ בְּתִשְׁעָ֣ה לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ וַיֶּחֱזַ֥ק הָרָעָ֖ב בָּעִ֑יר
וְלֹא־הָיָ֥ה לֶ֖חֶם לְעַ֥ם הָאָֽרֶץ
6 In the fourth new moon, on the ninth of the month, so resolute was the famine in the city,
that there was no bread for the people of the land.
3e 4C 21
10
וַתִּבָּקַ֣ע הָעִ֗יר וְכָל־אַנְשֵׁ֣י הַמִּלְחָמָ֡ה יִבְרְחוּ֩ וַיֵּצְא֨וּ מֵהָעִ֜יר לַ֗יְלָה דֶּ֜רֶךְ שַׁ֤עַר בֵּין־הַחֹמֹתַ֙יִם֙ אֲשֶׁר֙ עַל־גַּ֣ן הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וְכַשְׂדִּ֥ים עַל־הָעִ֖יר סָבִ֑יב
וַיֵּלְכ֖וּ דֶּ֥רֶךְ הָעֲרָבָֽה
7 And the city was split, and all the men of the battle ran, and they went forth from the city by night, by way of the gate between the walls, by the king's garden. And the Chaldeans were against the city round about,
and they went by way of the steppe.
3e 4C 49
9
וַיִּרְדְּפ֤וּ חֵיל־כַּשְׂדִּים֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּשִּׂ֥יגוּ אֶת־צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ בְּעַֽרְבֹ֣ת יְרֵח֑וֹ
וְכָל־חֵיל֔וֹ נָפֹ֖צוּ מֵעָלָֽיו
8 And the force of the Chaldeans pursued after the king and they overtook Zedekiah in the steppes of Jericho,
and all his force was dispersed from him.
3e 4C 28
10
וַֽיִּתְפְּשׂוּ֙ אֶת־הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ וַיַּעֲל֨וּ אֹת֜וֹ אֶל־מֶ֧לֶךְ בָּבֶ֛ל רִבְלָ֖תָה בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֲמָ֑ת
וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אִתּ֖וֹ מִשְׁפָּטִֽים
9 And they arrested the king, and they brought him up to the king of Babel toward Riblah in the land of Hamath,
and he subjugated him to judgment.
3c 4B 27
8
וַיִּשְׁחַ֧ט מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֛ל אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ לְעֵינָ֑יו
וְגַ֛ם אֶת־כָּל־שָׂרֵ֥י יְהוּדָ֖ה שָׁחַ֥ט בְּרִבְלָֽתָה
10 And the king of Babel butchered the children of Zedekiah before his eyes,
and moreover all the nobility of Judah, he butchered toward Riblah.
3c 4A 17
15
וְאֶת־עֵינֵ֥י צִדְקִיָּ֖הוּ עִוֵּ֑ר
וַיַּאַסְרֵ֣הוּ בַֽנְחֻשְׁתַּ֗יִם וַיְבִאֵ֤הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶל֙ בָּבֶ֔לָה וַיִּתְּנֵ֥הוּ בֵֽית־הַפְּקֻדֹּ֖ת עַד־י֥וֹם מוֹתֽוֹ
11 And the eyes of Zedekiah, he blinded,
and bound him with brass chains and the king of Babel brought him to Babel, and he consigned him to the house of the officials until the day of his death.
3e 4C 10
31
וּבַחֹ֤דֶשׁ הַֽחֲמִישִׁי֙ בֶּעָשׂ֣וֹר לַחֹ֔דֶשׁ הִ֗יא שְׁנַת֙ תְּשַֽׁע־עֶשְׂרֵ֣ה שָׁנָ֔ה לַמֶּ֖לֶךְ נְבוּכַדְרֶאצַּ֣ר מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֑ל
בָּ֗א נְבֽוּזַרְאֲדָן֙ רַב־טַבָּחִ֔ים עָמַ֛ד לִפְנֵ֥י מֶֽלֶךְ־בָּבֶ֖ל בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם
12 And in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, (this was the nineteenth year of the reign of Nebukadretsar, king of Babel),
Nebuzaradan, the overlord of the slaughterers, who stands before the king of Babel, came into Jerusalem.
3d 4C 35
22
וַיִּשְׂרֹ֥ף אֶת־בֵּית־יְהוָ֖ה וְאֶת־בֵּ֣ית הַמֶּ֑לֶךְ
וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־בָּתֵּ֧י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֛ם וְאֶת־כָּל־בֵּ֥ית הַגָּד֖וֹל שָׂרַ֥ף בָּאֵֽשׁ
13 And he incinerated the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king,
and all the houses of Jerusalem and every great house, he incinerated in the fire.
3c 4B 13
20
וְאֶת־כָּל־חֹמ֥וֹת יְרוּשָׁלִַ֖ם סָבִ֑יב
נָֽתְצוּ֙ כָּל־חֵ֣יל כַּשְׂדִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֶת־רַב־טַבָּחִֽים
14 And all the walls of Jerusalem round about,
all the force of the Chaldeans that was with the overlord of the slaughterers, broke down.
3e 4B 11
13
וּמִדַּלּ֨וֹת הָעָ֜ם וְֽאֶת־יֶ֥תֶר הָעָ֣ם ׀ הַנִּשְׁאָרִ֣ים בָּעִ֗יר וְאֶת־הַנֹּֽפְלִים֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נָֽפְלוּ֙ אֶל־מֶ֣לֶךְ בָּבֶ֔ל וְאֵ֖ת יֶ֣תֶר הָֽאָמ֑וֹן
הֶגְלָ֕ה נְבוּזַרְאֲדָ֖ן רַב־טַבָּחִֽים
15 And from the weak of the people, and the remaining of the people, the residue in the city, and the fallen that fell to the king of Babel, and the remaining of the populace,
Nebuzaradan the overlord of the slaughterers had exiled.

11
וּמִדַּלּ֣וֹת הָאָ֔רֶץ הִשְׁאִ֕יר נְבוּזַרְאֲדָ֖ן רַב־טַבָּחִ֑ים
לְכֹרְמִ֖ים וּלְיֹגְבִֽים
16 But from the weak of the land, Nebuzaradan the overlord of the slaughterers, left a residue,

וַיִּשְׂא֥וּ אֶת־כָּל־נְחֻשְׁתָּ֖ם בָּבֶֽלָה

וְאֶת־הַ֠סִּרוֹת וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֨ים וְאֶת־הַֽמְזַמְּר֜וֹת וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹ֣ת וְאֶת־הַכַּפּ֗וֹת וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־כְּלֵ֧י הַנְּחֹ֛שֶׁת אֲשֶׁר־יְשָׁרְת֥וּ בָהֶ֖ם לָקָֽחוּ 18 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass that were for ministry among them, they took away. 3c 4B 44

לָקַ֖ח רַב־טַבָּחִֽים
