Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 31:15-22

The religious character of the restoration of the ten tribes. Chastisement brought repentance, and with it forgiveness; therefore God decrees their restoration.Jeremiah 31:15Ramah, mentioned because of its nearness to Jerusalem, from which it was distant about five miles. As the mother of three tribes, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh, Rachel is regarded as the mother of the whole ten. This passage is quoted by Matthew (marginal reference) as a type. In Jeremiah it is a poetical figure... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:15-17

Jeremiah 31:15-17. Thus saith the Lord; A voice, &c. Here “the scene of this prophecy changes, and two new personages are successively introduced, in order to diversify the subject, and to impress it more strongly on the mind of the reader. The first is Rachel, who in these verses is represented as just rising from the grave, and bitterly bewailing the loss of her children, for whom she looks about in vain, but none are to be seen. Her tears are dried up, and she is consoled with the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:18

Jeremiah 31:18. I have surely heard Ephraim, &c. Here, still further to diversify the subject, and give it the greater force, the other personage referred to in the preceding note is introduced. Ephraim, representing the ten tribes, is brought forward, lamenting his past undutifulness with great contrition and penitence, and professing an earnest desire of amendment. And “these symptoms of returning duty are no sooner discerned in him than God acknowledges him once more as a darling... read more

Jeremiah 31:19. Surely after that I was turned, I repented After I was enlightened and impressed with a due sense of my duty, and of the many deviations from it of which I had been guilty, and after my will was subjected to the will of God, I straightway became a true penitent, and expressed my repentance by all the outward and inward signs of an unfeigned sorrow for, and hatred to, my past conduct. And after that I was instructed Respecting my sin and folly, in forsaking the fountain of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:20

Jeremiah 31:20. Is Ephraim my dear son? Is he, &c. These questions are designed to be answered in the affirmative, as appears from the inference, therefore my bowels are moved for him. It seems that, to suit the idiom of our language, and fully to express the sense of the original, the particle not ought to have been supplied, and the clause to have been read, Is not Ephraim my dear son? Is he not a pleasant child? That is, is he not one that I have set my affections on, as a... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:21

Jeremiah 31:21 . Set thee up way-marks “These words are a call to Israel to prepare for their return. The word צינים , rendered way-marks, means stone pillars, and תמרודים , translated heaps, from המר , a palm-tree, probably signifies tall-poles, like palm-trees, or, perhaps, made of palm- trees; both set up in the roads, at certain distances, for the traveller’s direction, and extremely necessary for those who had to pass wild and spacious deserts,” Blaney. Set thy heart... read more

Jeremiah 31:22. How long wilt thou go about Or, go out of the right way, or follow thine own imaginations, O thou backsliding daughter Thou that didst formerly revolt from thy sovereign Lord, and decline from his worship and service, going after idols, and seeking help from foreign nations, instead of applying to him for it; and who now seemest to loiter when God calls thee to return homeward out of a strange country. The expression is often used of Israel, or the ten tribes: see Jeremiah... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:1-22

The people return home (31:1-22)God has not forgotten any of his people who have been driven into a harsh existence in distant countries.
