REST OF THE WORDS OF See also:BARUCH  . This See also:book was undoubtedly written originally by a See also:Jew but was subsequently revised by a See also:Christian, as has been shown by Kohler in the Jewish Quarterly See also:Review (1893), pp . 407–409 . It passed under a See also:double name in the Abyssinian See also:Church, where it was known both as " the See also:Rest of the Words of See also:Baruch " and " the Rest of the Words of See also:Jeremiah." Its See also:Greek name is the latter—See also:ea vrapaAetv6yeaa 'Iepeµiou 7rpo ijrov . It has been preserved in Greek, Ethiopic, Armenian and See also:Slavonic .
