To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
21-23. The conservative or traditional critics quote Jer. xxxiii. 18 as evidence that Jeremiah means by his language here, not to deny that God commanded sacrifices through Moses, but only, as Dr. C. von Orelli puts it, to deny " that sacrifice was the motive or occasion, and so the substantive content of God's legislation." The Prophecies of Jeremiah, by Dr. C. von Orelli, p. 78. The same interpretation is more fully given in the Bible Commentary on Jer. vii. 21-23. The interpretation which I ...ac- cept is the one adopted by the modern school, as by George Adam Smith, for example, who says that Jeremiah " distinctly declares that in the wilderness God prescribed no ritual to Israel." The Book of the Twelve Prophets, vol. i. p. 171, note. See also p. 104. 148 LIFE AND LITERATURE OF THE HEBREWS That Amos and Jeremiah were correct, that the Levitical system does not date from the days of Moses, that it is no part of that simple, primitive religion which finds its exposition in the Book of the Covenant, appears absolutely certain to the literary or scientific student of the Bible.
