Jeremiah 32:44

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

We have here God's answer to Jeremiah's prayer, designed to quiet his mind and make him easy; and it is a full discovery of the purposes of God's wrath against the present generation and the purposes of his grace concerning the future generations. Jeremiah knew not how to sing both of mercy and judgment, but God here teaches to sing unto him of both. When we know not how to reconcile one word of God with another we may yet be sure that both are true, both are pure, both shall be made good, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:44

Men shall buy fields for money ,.... They shall have plenty of money, and they shall lay it out in land, and carry on husbandry, cultivate the ground, which had lain long untilled, but now should be manured for public as well as private good. This some understand of particular churches planted in Judea, and out of it, throughout the whole world; and of men's gathering and joining themselves to them by a profession of that faith which is more precious than gold or silver: and subscribe... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:44

Men shall buy fields for money - This is a reference to the symbolical purchase mentioned at the beginning of the chapter; that may be considered by them as a sure sign of their restoration, not only to the same land, but to their respective inheritances in that land. This the power of God could alone perform. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:44

Verse 44 To shew more fully what is said in the preceding verse, he adds, Fields with money shall be bought, and by writing (the verbs are in the infinitive mood) they shall write on tablets and sign by witnesses even if the land of Benjamin (85) Then the Prophet mentions all the boundaries by which Jerusalem was surrounded. We know that a part of the city was in the lot of Benjamin, and even one gate was so called: in the land of Benjamin, he says, and also through the circuits of Jerusalem,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

A story of God's sustaining grace. This whole chapter may be summed up under some such heading as this. For it begins with showing us God's servant Jeremiah in a position in which he sorely needed sustaining grace, and then it proceeds to narrate the threefold process by which this grace was communicated to him. The manner in which God sustained Jeremiah is very much akin to that in which he will sustain all his servants who may be in similar need. If any be so now, let them give heed to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:26-44

The Divine answer. This falls into two parts. First, Jehovah repeats the burden of so many prophecies, that Israel has only to blame himself for his punishment ( Jeremiah 32:26-35 ); and then a bright future is disclosed beyond the gloomy interval of conquest and captivity—a future when men shall buy fields, and comply with all the legal formalities, precisely as Jeremiah has done (verses 36-44). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 32:44

Subscribe evidences; rather, write (particulars of their purchase)in the deed (as Jeremiah 32:10 ). In the land of Benjamin, etc. The catalogue of the districts of the Jewish kingdom heightens the realistic effect (see on Jeremiah 17:26 ). Everywhere the old social system will be reproduced in its entirety. The land of Benjamin is mentioned first, on account of the property of Jeremiah at Anathoth. read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 32:26-44

The answer is divided into two parts;(a) Jeremiah 32:26-35, the sins of Judah are shown to be the cause of her punishment:(b) Jeremiah 32:36-44, this punishment was not for Judah’s destruction, but for her amendment.Jeremiah 32:28I will give - Or, I am giving.Jeremiah 32:30From their youth - God’s mighty deeds for Israel began in Egypt Jeremiah 32:20, and so did Israel’s sin.Jeremiah 32:34, Jeremiah 32:35These verses are repeated from Jeremiah 7:30-31, but with two important variations. Baal is... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:40-44

Jeremiah 32:40-44. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them The Jewish covenant, even with respect to the ceremonial ordinances contained in it, is sometimes called an everlasting covenant; see Genesis 17:13; Leviticus 24:8; Isaiah 24:5; because those ordinances were to continue for a long succession of ages; but when this expression is applied to the gospel covenant, there is a peculiar emphasis contained in it, implying that it should never be abolished, or give way to any... read more
