Abstract

The book of Jeremiah begins with a double vision that occurred to the author when he was around twenty years old; and from these two ordinary objects, a stick and a cauldron, arises the awareness of a double danger for the people, still avoidable, and later a whole book written in two stages, which does not correspond to the Hebrew tradition of book of Jeremiah, but in the Hebrew model translated in the Septuagint, intended then to enter into Holy Scripture to close it. Several apparent inconsistencies lead us to place the writing of this book at the very beginning of the 2nd century BC: Jeremiah then identifies with Simon the Just, high priest around – 200 and, for some, final editor of the first part of the Hebrew Bible.
