Jeremiah 29:4
4 “The Lord God of Israel who rules over all ▼▼ Heb “Yahweh of armies, the God of Israel.”
▼ says to all those he sent ▼▼ Heb “I sent.” This sentence exhibits a rapid switch in person, here from the third person to the first. Such switches are common to Hebrew poetry and prophecy (cf. GKC 462 #144.p). Contemporary English, however, does not exhibit such rapid switches and it creates confusion for the careful reader. Such switches have regularly been avoided in the translation.
