エレミヤ書 34:8-9 JCB

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:8-22

8-22 A Jew should not be held in servitude above seven years. This law they and their fathers had broken. And when there was some hope that the siege was raised, they forced the servants they had released into their services again. Those who think to cheat God by dissembled repentance and partial reformation, put the greatest cheat upon their own souls. This shows that liberty to sin, is really only liberty to have the sorest judgments. It is just with God to disappoint expectations of mercy,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 34:8-22

Of The Evil Treatment of Bond-Servants. v. 8. This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, which he recorded as faithfully as he had received it, after that the King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, entering into a solemn agreement with them, to proclaim liberty unto them, according to the Lord's ordinance which permitted the Hebrews to keep the members of their own nation as bond-servants for only six years, since in the seventh year they... read more

11. HISTORICAL APPENDIX TO THE COLLECTION OF DISCOURSES(Chap Jeremiah 34:8-22 and Chap 35)At the close of the collected discourses we find two portions which may be regarded as an appendix, inasmuch as they afford a glaring instance of Israel’s disobedience towards Jehovah, in contrast with the obedience of a non-Israelitish tribe towards the command of their ancestor. The history of the discharge of servants, ordered in the pressure of distress but taken back when the danger seemed to be past,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-22

Chapters thirty-four and thirty-five contain prophecies of the siege. The armies of Nebuchadnezzar were round about Jerusalem, and Jehovah declared to Zedekiah that the king of Babylon would be successful, that the city would be taken and burned with fire, and that he himself would be carried captive to Babylon. Nevertheless, the word of Jehovah concerning Zedekiah was that he should not die by the sword, but in peace. The next prophecy is a denunciation of the king for the false covenant he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:1-22

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:8-22

Having Set Free Their Hebrew Slaves In Accordance With The Sinai Covenant The Inhabitants Of Jerusalem Renege On Their Commitment, Bringing Down On Themselves The Wrath Of YHWH And The Certainty Of Babylonian Subjection (Jeremiah 34:8-22 ). In the face of the Babylonian threat King Zedekiah managed to persuade the people of Jerusalem that it was in their interests to ‘proclaim freedom’ to their Hebrew slaves, in accordance with the requirements of the Book of the Covenant (Exodus 21:2 ff.;... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 34:8-22

Jeremiah 34:8-Song of Solomon : . The Cancelled Liberation of Slaves.— In the interval during which the besiegers had withdrawn ( Jeremiah 34:21; cf. Jeremiah 21:2, Jeremiah 37:5), Jeremiah is commissioned to condemn the breach of the promises made by king and people during the earlier straits. They had agreed to emancipate all Hebrew slaves, and had solemnly covenanted to this effect. They broke this agreement (when the Babylonian peril seemed to be removed), and in so doing they “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 34:8

This verse plainly beginneth a new prophecy, but at what particular time this revelation or the publication of it was we are not told, only the occasion of it is recorded. God had made a particular law respecting the Jewish nation, that if any had bought an Hebrew servant, he should serve but six years, and in the seventh should go out free, Exodus 21:2; Deuteronomy 15:12. It came into Zedekiah’s mind to make a proclamation for the execution of this law; what moved him to it we have not... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 34:9

This was the tenor of God’s law mentioned in the above named texts; and it seemeth Zedekiah, taking notice of the common violation of this law, and the Jews’ ordinary oppressing those of their own nation this way, judging that this might be one of those sins for which the wrath of God was at this time kindled against them, he caused the people to make a covenant, that they would give that liberty to their servants of either sex which the law of God required, of which he made proclamation. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 34:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES:—1. Chronology of the Chapter. Section I., Jeremiah 34:1-7, is in subject connected with chap. Jeremiah 32:1-5. These verses, however, seem slightly to antedate that chapter, for observe the words (Jeremiah 34:2), “Go and speak to Zedekiah,” implying that Jeremiah had not yet been imprisoned; whereas in Jeremiah 32:2, Jeremiah is “shut up in the court of the prison.” This section must date at the very beginning of the Chaldean invasion, and follows closely upon the... read more
