Jeremiah 7:21-28. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel And let Israel hear when their God speaks Put your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh The burnt-offerings, after they were flayed, were to be consumed wholly upon the altar, Leviticus 1:9; whereas, in the sacrifices of the peace-offerings, only the fat was to be burned upon the altar; part of the remainder belonging to the priests, and the rest being the portion of the offerer, to be eaten with his friends... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 7:16-34

No hope for an idolatrous people (7:16-8:3)God now tells Jeremiah that it is useless for him to persist in praying for the safety of the Judeans. They have so given themselves to idolatrous practices that nothing can save them from God’s judgment. Throughout the cities and towns of Judah people worship foreign gods, but in the process they harm themselves (16-19). The harm will be much greater when God’s judgment falls on them (20).While openly worshipping heathen gods, the people also offer... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:1-25

Aspects of false religion 7:1-8:3All the messages in this section deal with departure from the Lord in religious practices, either in pagan rites or in the perversion of the proper worship of Yahweh that the Mosaic Law specified. All the material in this section fits conditions in Judah after 609 B.C., when Jehoiakim began allowing a return to pagan practices after the end of Josiah’s reforms. Another feature of this section is the large amount of prose material it contains, much more than the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:21-28

Obedience as opposed to mere sacrifice 7:21-28This seems to be a new message from the Lord. It is a good example of prophetic indictments of Israel’s sacrificial institutions (cf. Jeremiah 6:20; 1 Samuel 15:22; Psalms 51:16-17; Isaiah 1:4-15; Hosea 6:6; Amos 5:21-24; Micah 6:6-8). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 7:24

In spite of these promised blessings, the Israelites had not obeyed or even listened to the Lord’s voice. They had followed their own advice, and their evil hearts had stubbornly refused to yield to His will. Instead of progressing toward blessing, they regressed into cursing. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 7:1-25

Jeremiah’s Fifth Prophecy (or Group of Prophecies). Address at the Temple Gate (Reign of Josiah or Beginning of that of Jehoiakim)The prophet takes advantage of a solemn gathering of the people at Jerusalem to stand at one of the Temple gates as they pass in, and warns them against their superstitious confidence that the possession of the Temple was itself a charm against danger from without. As immorality had already brought about the overthrow of an older sanctuary (Shiloh) as well as of the... read more
