Textual Criticism of the Old Testament: Jeremiah as Example

In Qumran, six manuscripts of Jeremiah have been found. Two of these manuscripts (4QJerb and 4QJerd) deviate from the standard text. These versions of Jeremiah are shorter. However, there are also verses that appear in a different order.

Interestingly, the text in these two manuscripts resembles the book of Jeremiah as it appears in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament.
