Sastra Bait Kedua Yeremia 2:34: On the Special Laws

גַּ֤ם בִּכְנָפַ֙יִךְ֙ נִמְצְא֔וּ דַּ֛ם נַפְשׁ֥וֹת אֶבְיוֹנִ֖ים נְקִיִּ֑ים לֹֽא־בַמַּחְתֶּ֥רֶת מְצָאתִ֖ים כִּ֥י עַל־כָּל־אֵֽלֶּה׃

Bahkan pada punca-punca pakaianmu terdapat darah jiwa orang-orang miskin yang tidak bersalah; engkau mendapati mereka bukan sedang membongkar rumah, melainkan karena semua hal ini.

On the Special Laws

§ 7. In the very place where he has broken in. L. and S. revised give “(the act of) breaking in” for διόρυγμα as a LXX usage, citing this passage, viz. Ex. 22:2 and Jeremiah 2:34. I do not think this is right. In neither passage, the second of which appears to be an allusion to the first, is there any necessity to understand the act rather than the place. Anyway, Philo is more likely to have understood the word, which he quotes from the LXX, in its usual sense.
