Jeremiah 49:36

36. Four winds from the four quarters Truthful description of a terrific storm, which, in its destructive fury, seems to come from all quarters at once.

Outcasts of Elam A singular error has crept into the written text, consisting in substituting a vav ( ו ) for a yodh, ( י ) so that the actual reading is outcasts of eternity. It is perfectly obvious that it is a mere mistake, and the Versions so treat it. The only value it has, however, is to illustrate the possibility of a case in which the internal evidence as to a reading may quite overbear the external; and this gives some protection to conjectural emendations in other places.
