SHESHACH . A cryptic name of Babel, found in the received text of Jeremiah 25:26; Jeremiah 51:41 . It is formed by the method called Atbash, that is a substitution of lau for aleph, shin for beth , and so on. The word is, however, no part of the original text of Jeremiah, being a conceit of later editors. In both passages it is lacking in LXX. [Note: Septuagint.] Cf. Leb-kamai.
