Translation commentary on Jeremiah 44:20

Since all the people (used twice) and men and women refer to the same people, the verse may be considerably shortened by using only one reference, as in Good News Translation “all the men and the women.”

Quoted with permission from Newman, Barclay M. and Stine, Philip C. A Handbook on Jeremiah. (UBS Helps for Translators). New York: UBS, 2003. For this and other handbooks for translators see here .
