Jeremiah 29:8

cause to be dreamed mg. dream. The MT., as it stands, gives the sense as in the text, but its form is Aramaic rather than Hebrew and the causative sense is not wanted. The apparent error has arisen from the accidental repetition of one letter in the original. Co., however, would read they dream, because in Jeremiah 23:25; Jeremiah 23:27 f. it is the false prophets who use dreams as the vehicle of their prophecies. Du. considers Jeremiah 29:8 to be from a later hand, and Co. is disposed to agree with him as to 8 and 9.
