True and False Prophecy: Jeremiah’s Revision of Deuteronomy
Abstract
Deuteronomy 18.15-22 offers a criterion of predictive accuracy for judging prophets. It is argued here that Jeremiah takes up this criterion and renders it problematic. A critical examination of three passages from Jeremiah reveals the nature of the critique: Jer. 18, 26 and 28. One key aspect of this critique involves Jeremiah’s accent on YHWH potentially changing his mind (םהב). The conclusion is reached that Jeremiah de-emphasizes the role of prophet as prognosticator in favor of the view that a prophet’s role is to spur moral, social, and religious change. As a postscript, a brief examination of Jonah’s understanding of this matter demonstrates that not all prophets were in agreement on the value of Jeremiah’s change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
