Jeremiah 37:12

12. To separate himself Neither this nor the translation, to slip away, which stands in the margin, is correct. The better approved sense is, to receive a portion thence. The Vulgate, Chaldee, and Syriac Versions agree in translating, to receive an inheritance, and the Septuagint, to purchase thence, but the more exact sense is as above. The probable meaning is, that Jeremiah had gone back to the fields in which he had an interest to obtain the much needed supplies of food.
