Footnotes 1 P.R. Ackroyd, Exile and Ristoration (London, 1968), pp.237–47. I would like to thank Professor Ackroyd for his characteristic kindness in reading this paper and making several very helpful comments on it. He is not, of course, in any way to be held responsible for the views expressed here. 2 Cf. C.F. Whitley, ‘The Term Seventy Years Captivity’, VT 4(1954), pp.65–8. The setting of a definite end to the exile in 29: 10–14 contrasts with the exhortation of vv. 4–9 to settle in Babylon and may well represent a reinterpretation of the original prophecy (cf. Ackroyd, Exile , p.56; for a different view cf. W. Rudolph, Jeremia [HAT 12, Tübingen, 3 1968], pp.183–5). On the other hand there are good grounds for regarding 25: 12 as secondary (so e.g. Rudolph, p.160), while the mention of 70 years at the end of 25: 11 has probably been inserted from 29: 10 by a redactor. On these two passages see also P.R. Ackroyd, ‘Two Old Testament Historical Problems of the Early Persian Period. B. The “Seventy Year” Period’, JNES 17(1958), pp.23–7. 3 Cf. also Josephus, A.J.
