耶利米书 31:4-6 CUVS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 31:1-9

God here assures his people, I. That he will again take them into a covenant relation to himself, from which they seemed to be cut off. At the same time, when God's anger breaks out against the wicked (Jer. 30:24), his own people shall be owned by him as the children of his love: I will be the God (that is, I will show myself to be the God) of all the families of Israel (Jer. 31:1),?not of the two tribes only, but of all the tribes,?not of the house of Aaron only, and the families of Levi, but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:4

Again, I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel ,.... The same with "all the families of Israel", Jeremiah 31:1 ; who, when converted, will be espoused to Christ as a chaste virgin; have a sincere affection for him; unfeigned faith in him, and purely worship him; receiving the pure doctrines of the Gospel, and submitting to the ordinances of it; and then will the church, comparable to a building, consisting of lively stones, laid upon the foundation Christ, which is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:5

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria ,.... Mountains are proper places for vines, and which generally produce the best wine; but vines are not to be understood merely literally, or as only expressive of the outward peace, plenty, and prosperity of Samaria, with other places given to the Jews, as Josephus F11 Antiqu. Jud. l. 13. c. 2. sect. 3. observes they were by the Demetrii; which they might improve by planting vines, &c.; but figuratively of the planting of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 31:6

For there shall be a day ,.... The whole Gospel dispensation is "a day", made so by the bright rising of the sun of righteousness; here it seems to design some certain fixed period of time in that dispensation, when the light of the Gospel will break out most gloriously, and it will be a clear day; as it will be when the Jews will be converted: that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim ; the same with the mountains of Samaria; for Samaria was the head or metropolis of Ephraim, Isaiah... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:4

O virgin of Israel - Israelites in general; now called virgin, because restored to their ancient purity. With thy tabrets - Women in general played on these; they were used in times of rejoicing, and accompanied with dancing. To these customs, still preserved, the prophet alludes. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:5

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria - This was the regal city of the Israelites, as Jerusalem was of the Jews. Shall eat them as common things - By the law of Moses no man was permitted to eat of the fruit of his vineyard till the fifth year after planting. For the first three years it was considered uncircumcised, unclean, not fit to be eaten; in the fourth year it was holy to the Lord, the fruit belonged to Him; in the fifth year he might use it for himself, ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:6

For there shall be a day - Literally, for this is the day, or the day is come. The watchmen - the prophets. Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion - Let both Israelites and Jews join together in the worship of the Lord. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:4

Verse 4 Jeremiah, in this verse, proceeds with the same subject, — that though there would be the long time of seventy years, yet God would become the liberator of his Church. Length of time might have extinguished the faith of the people, as it is too commonly the case: for when nothing appears to us but the naked word, and when God repeats the same promises from day to day, we think it of no moment; and then when some evil has been prevailing, we think that all ways have been already closed... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:5

Verse 5 The verb חלל, chelal, means to profane, but it means also to apply to common use. The expression is taken from the Law; for it was not lawful to eat of the fruit of the vine until after the fourth year; for its uncircumcision as it were remained in the vine, so that its fruit was unclean. Then its first-fruits were offered to God; afterwards every one enjoyed his vintage. (Leviticus 19:23) But at the same time Jeremiah had respect to the curses which we read of elsewhere, “Thou shalt... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 31:6

Verse 6 The Prophet here amplifies the kindness of God, because he would not only restore the tribe of Judah, but also the ten tribes, who had previously been led into exile. He then promises here a full and complete restoration of the Church. The Prophets do not always speak in the same manner of the liberation of the people; sometimes they confine what they say to the tribe of Judah, as though the rest were in a hopeless state, but often they extend their prophecies to the whole body of the... read more
