A readable, searchable version of Hermann-Josef Stipp's Textkritische Synopse zum Jeremiabuch: the Hebrew text of Jeremiah beside the Hebrew text that lies behind its ancient Greek translation, with the Greek itself and every word linked to its grammatical analysis.

The book of Jeremiah has come down to us in two versions that differ considerably. The Masoretic Text is markedly longer than the text translated into Greek in antiquity. The Greek also arranges the book differently: its oracles against the nations stand in the middle of the book, after 25:13, and in another order.
The shorter edition is probably not a translator's abridgement. Hebrew fragments of Jeremiah from Qumran (4QJerb and 4QJerd) agree with it, which suggests that two Hebrew editions of the book were in circulation at once. Many scholars, Stipp among them, take the shorter one to preserve an earlier stage of the book, and the longer one to show how it was expanded and edited afterwards. That makes the gap between the two editions one of the clearest windows we have on how a biblical book grew.
To compare the two editions you need them in the same language. Stipp sets the Masoretic Text sentence by sentence beside a retroversion: his reconstruction of the Hebrew text the Greek translators had in front of them. Where the editions agree, the text is shared; where one has more, it is marked as a plus; where they differ, both readings stand. Beside them he gives the Greek text itself, and in the margin a dense apparatus of cross-references, grammatical notes and references to his study of the idiolect of the pre-Masoretic text.
It is the most detailed tool there is for this comparison, and it has circulated only as a PDF, set in old BibleWorks fonts that store Hebrew as ASCII in visual order. On paper it reads well; on screen it cannot be searched, copied or counted.
Each verse is a table: the masoretic text, Stipp's sentence letter, his retroversion of the alexandrian text, and his Greek. Hebrew reads from right to left.
The chapter pages keep the German labels of the Synopse (masoretisch, Rückübersetzung, Griechisch).
The pages were made by reading Stipp's PDF, not by retyping it, and nothing in them is taken from another edition: every letter stands as Stipp prints it. The masoretic column can be checked, against the BHSA database, and is checked verse by verse:
The retroversion and the Greek have no independent text to be checked against: they are Stipp's own work, reproduced as carefully as the masoretic column but not verified in the same way. For anything you intend to cite, check the reading in Stipp's synopsis itself. The full reliability report, and the code that builds these pages, are on GitHub.
