エレミヤ書 31:39 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:35-40

Glorious things have been spoken in the Jer. 31:1-34 concerning the gospel church, which that epocha of the Jewish church that was to commence at the return from captivity would at length terminate in, and which all those promises were to have their full accomplishment in. But may we depend upon these promises? Yes, we have here a ratification of them, and the utmost assurance imaginable given of the perpetuity of the blessings contained in them. The great thing here secured to us is that... read more

And the measuring line shall yet go forth over against it ,.... Or, "before it" F16 נגדו "ante ipsam", Tigurine version, Gataker ; the gate proceeding right on from it; of the length of the measuring line, or reed; see Ezekiel 40:5 ; though some render it, "before him" F17 "Coram eo", Pagninus, Montanus; "coram ipso", Calvin. ; before the Lord, under whose direction and powerful providence the work went on; so the city gates and walls of the New Jerusalem are said to be... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:39

Upon the hill Gareb - Gareb and Goath are out of the limits of this city. The latter is supposed to be Golgotha; that is, the heap of Gotha, which, being the place where our Lord was crucified, was without the city. These hills were a little to the north-west of the old city walls: but are destined to be within the new city. See Dr. Blayney on all these verses. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:39

Verse 39 He afterwards adds, Yet go forth shall the line of measure before him Some apply this to the gate, because from the gate the line was to be extended to the hill Gareb, and go round to Goath Of these names of places I cannot say much, for we do not know the ancient situation of the city; and the Jews themselves, when they make conjectures about these uncertain things, shew only their own ignorance. However, the greater part of interpreters understand this, — that the city was to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:38-40

The connection is not very clear. The main point of these verses is that Jerusalem, when rebuilt, shall be altogether "the Lord's." Its circumference shall even be extended with the single object of including spots at present unclean, but then to become holy like the rest of the city. According to Hengstenberg and Keil, Jerusalem is here a figure of the kingdom of God in the latter days. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 31:39

Over against it upon the hill Gareb ; rather, straight forward unto the hill Gareb. The hill of Gareb is not mentioned elsewhere; its meaning is probably "Leper's Hill." It must, of course, have been outside the city, and may be identified (after Schleussner and Hitzig) with "the fourth hill, which is called Bezetha" (Josephus, 'De Bell. Jud.,' 5.4, 2). To Goath; rather, to Goah. But the reading of the Peshito, "to Gibeah," should probably be adopted. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 31:38-40

Jeremiah 31:38-40. Behold, the days come, that the city shall be built to the Lord Or, for the Lord, namely, for his use and service. Blaney renders it, Under the direction of the Lord, from the tower of Hananeel, &c. “Here follows a description of the circumference of a new city to be built on the site of Jerusalem; but that it does not mean the city which was rebuilt after the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity is evident from two principal circumstances; first,... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:23-40

A new city and a new age (31:23-40)Jeremiah has a vision of Jerusalem as a city of righteousness and Judah as a land of contentment. It is a vision that gives him the satisfaction of a pleasant dream (23-26). God had been responsible for the devastation of their land in the past, but he will also be responsible for its productivity in the future (27-28). The people by then will have learnt the lessons of their captivity. They will no longer blame their forefathers for their misfortunes, but... read more
