The variations in the textual history of Jeremiah's Oracles against the Nations have presented scholarship with a perennial puzzle. In addressing these variants, modern scholarship has consistently assumed that one of the versions must be original and the other a revision. In this study, I propose an alternate explanation. Drawing on considerations of material culture, comparative evidence, and insights from the field of book history, I suggest that the Jeremiah traditions existed in the early Persian period as an only partially ordered collection rather than a linear book. Rather than one version being original and the other an editorial rearrangement, both the LXX and the MT represent independent organizations of this collection.
