Kess ler, The Law of Manumission in Jer 34 Finally, the setting of this pericope within the Jeremia htradition lends it depth and color. As this writer has suggested elsewhere , Jer 26-45 has been arranged acco rding to a meaningful scheme. Running through chs. 26-35 is the motif of hope: while Nebuchadrezzar besieged the city, the prophet exercised his right to redeem a parcel of land at Anatoth (32) , thereby symbolizing his co nfidence in a better future for Isra el ; this motif is co ntin ued in 33 in the face of ubiquitous calamity. In spite of the people's persist ent rej ection of the prophetic message, a ray of hope offered in 34, to be quickly smothered - but never entirel y for there is always the se' eri t, a small but dedicated remnant which won Yahw eh's approval for honoring the traditions of their fathers : the Recha bite s, whose story is related in 35. On such people the prophetic tradition ca me to rest its hope for the future and inde ed, without them there would be no Jeremiah-tradition. Potsdam, New York, 18. Dezember 1969. Martin K e s s
