Jeremiah the prophet sends a letter to the captives by the hand of Elasah and Gemariah

선지자 예레미야가 엘라사와 그마랴의 손에 위탁하여 포로에게 보낸 편지

Jeremiah 29:1–3: Jeremiah the prophet sends a letter from Jerusalem to the residue of the elders of the captivity, and to the priests, to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon (after Jeconiah the king, the queen mother, the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the smiths had departed from Jerusalem), by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. WEB opens 29:1 with “Now these are the words of the letter”, sets 29:2 and the words on Zedekiah in brackets, and closes 29:3 with “It said:”, marking no end of the letter. The Korean Revised Version tells 29:1–3 as one sentence (보내었는데 … 위탁하였더라), and opens the letter’s words with 일렀으되 (it said).
