#REDIRECT [[Question: Is Nephi's mention of Jeremiah being put into prison anachronistic, since Jeremiah would not have been in prison at the time that Lehi left Jerusalem?]]
 
==Criticism==
Critics claim that Nephi's mention of Jeremiah being put into prison ({{s|1|Nephi|7|14}}) is anachronistic, since Jeremiah would not have been in prison when Lehi left Jerusalem.
 
===Source(s) of the Criticism===
{{nw}}
 
==Response==
 
Jeremiah was put into prison at least ''twice'' during Zedekiah's reign: once soon after Zedekiah ascended the throne (see {{b||Jeremiah|37|1,15}}.)
 
Jeremiah was released at some point, and again able to preach.  He was later put into prison again.  (See {{b||Jeremiah|38|1-6,13,28}}.)
 
The book of Jeremiah is ''not'' in strict chronological order; care must be taken with each event to be certain that we understand the proper timing for a given account.
 
==Conclusion==
 
Jeremiah was imprisoned on more than one occasion; the Biblical account and the Book of Mormon account are not in contradiction.
