So I will establish My covenant with you
This phrase underscores the divine initiative and sovereignty of God in forming a covenant with His people. The Hebrew word for "establish" is "קָם" (qam), which conveys the idea of setting up, confirming, or making something stand firm. This indicates God's unwavering commitment to His promises. Historically, covenants in the ancient Near East were binding agreements, often sealed with a solemn ceremony. Here, God is reaffirming His covenantal relationship with Israel, despite their previous unfaithfulness. This reflects God's grace and mercy, emphasizing that His promises are not dependent on human faithfulness but on His steadfast love.

and you will know that I am the LORD
The phrase "you will know" comes from the Hebrew word "יָדַע" (yada), which means to know intimately or experientially. This is not merely intellectual knowledge but a deep, relational understanding. The use of "LORD" in all caps represents the divine name "YHWH," the covenant name of God, which signifies His eternal, self-existent nature. This knowledge is transformative, leading to a recognition of God's authority, holiness, and faithfulness. In the broader scriptural context, knowing the LORD is often associated with experiencing His salvation and deliverance. This phrase assures the people that through the reestablishment of the covenant, they will come to a renewed understanding and relationship with God, recognizing His rightful place as their sovereign Lord.

(62) Establish my covenant with thee.--The old covenant, having failed, is merged in the new and better covenant promised in 11:19; 18:31; and more fully in Jeremiah 31:31-34. This new covenant, established through a perfect Mediator, can alone perfectly fulfil God's gracious designs for man, although the way for it must necessarily have been prepared by the less perfect covenant of old.
