Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 32:34-35

They had defiled the temple precincts by placing images of idols there, and had built places of worship for Baal in the Hinnom Valley. They had even practiced child sacrifice there, something that Yahweh had not even imagined, let alone commanded. The Lord’s disclaimer hints that some of the people may have been claiming that child sacrifice fulfilled His law. [Note: Scalise, p. 159.] read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-44

This chapter forms the introduction to the most continuously historical part of the book, which describes incidents in the two years preceding the final destruction of Jerusalem, viz. chs.34-43. The first of these incidents is here given, viz. Jeremiah’s purchase with all legal formality of a field of which he had the right of redemption, in order to encourage the people while the Chaldeans were investing the city by showing thus his faith in the return which he foretells in these chs.1-5. The... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:27

(27) Is there any thing too hard for me?—The answer to the prayer is an echo of the prayer itself (Jeremiah 32:17). The prophet is assured that he was not wrong when he cast himself, in the full confidence of faith, on the loving omnipotence of God. The words which he had used were more than a liturgical formula to one who had that confidence. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:29

(29) Upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal . . .—On the mode of worship to which the words refer, see Note on Jeremiah 19:13. Here the leading thought is that of the righteous judgment which is to fall on the very spots that had thus been turned from the worship of Jehovah to that of the false gods whom men had worshipped in His stead. The incense-smoke of their false worship had, as its end, the smoke of burning roof and timbers. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:30

(30) The children of Israel have only provoked me to anger . . .—The words “the children of Israel” are apparently taken with a different range of extension in the two clauses—(1) for the northern kingdom, as contrasted with Judah; and (2) for the collective unity of Israel before, and perhaps also after, the division of the monarchy. The latter words of the verse reproduce Deuteronomy 31:29. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:31

(31) From the day that they built it . . .—The words confirm the inference already drawn in the preceding note, that the thoughts of the prophet turn to the time when Israel was yet one people under David and Solomon. Even then, he seems to say, the city had fallen far short of the holiness which it ought to have attained. and which David sought for it (Psalms 15-24), and had only been for anger and for fury to the Lord. There is no Hebrew word answering to “provocation.” It is noticeable that... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:33

(33) They have turned unto me the back . . .—It will be remembered that this image was more or less a favourite one with the prophet. (See Notes on Jeremiah 2:27; Jeremiah 7:24.) The same holds good of the “rising up early.” (See Notes on Jeremiah 7:13; Jeremiah 7:25.) read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 32:34-35

(34, 35) They set their abominations in my house . . .—On the sins thus referred to, see Notes on Jeremiah 7:30-31, which are here almost verbally reproduced. read more

Evidences Sealed and Evidences Open Jeremiah 32:14 The placing of the deeds in an earthen vessel or vase was of course peculiar to this case. It was intended to preserve them from damp and decay in their secret hiding-place during the long years of the captivity, as Jerusalem ere many months would be destroyed by the King of Babylon. I. Consider this mode of the authentication of purchase of property as an illustration of one of the evidences of the truth of the Word of God. One of the great... read more

CHAPTER XXXIVRESTORATION VREVIEWJeremiah 30:1-24; Jeremiah 31:1-40; Jeremiah 32:1-44; Jeremiah 33:1-26IN reviewing these chapters we must be careful not to suppose that Jeremiah knew all that would ultimately result from his teaching. When he declared that the conditions of the New Covenant would be written, not in a few parchments, but on every heart, he laid down a principle which involved the most characteristic teaching of the New Testament and the Reformers, and which might seem to justify... read more
