The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying
The word
In the Hebrew text, the term used here is "דָּבָר" (dabar), which signifies not just a spoken word but a message or a matter of importance. This highlights the gravity and divine authority of the communication. In the biblical context, "dabar" often refers to God's revelation to His prophets, underscoring the sacredness and truth of the message. It is a reminder that God's word is living and active, meant to guide, correct, and inspire His people.

that came
The phrase indicates the divine origin of the message. The Hebrew verb "הָיָה" (hayah) is used, which means "to come to pass" or "to happen." This suggests that the word of God is not static but dynamic, entering into human history and experience. It emphasizes the active role of God in communicating with His people, ensuring that His will is known and understood.

to Jeremiah
Jeremiah, whose name in Hebrew is "יִרְמְיָהוּ" (Yirmeyahu), meaning "Yahweh will exalt" or "Yahweh throws," was a prophet chosen by God to deliver His messages to the people of Judah. His life and ministry were marked by challenges and opposition, yet he remained faithful to his calling. This highlights the personal nature of God's communication, as He chooses specific individuals to carry out His divine purposes.

from the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "יְהוָה" (YHWH), the sacred and covenantal name of God. This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His faithfulness to His promises. It is a reminder of the personal relationship God desires with His people and His commitment to them. The use of this name underscores the authority and reliability of the message being delivered.

saying
The Hebrew word "לֵאמֹר" (le'mor) is used here, which means "to say" or "to declare." This introduces the content of the divine message and indicates that what follows is a direct communication from God. It serves as a transition from the introduction of the message to its actual content, emphasizing the importance of listening and responding to God's word. This phrase invites the reader to pay close attention to the divine instructions and to be open to the transformative power of God's voice.

XI.

(1) The word that came to Jeremiah.--The words indicate that we are entering on a distinct message or discourse, which goes on probably to the end of Jeremiah 12. No date is given, and we are driven to infer it from the internal evidence of the message itself. This points to an early period of Jeremiah's work, probably in the reign of Josiah. The invasion of the Chaldeans is not so near, as in the preceding chapter. Jeremiah is still residing at Anathoth (Jeremiah 11:21). By some critics, however, it is referred to the reign of Jehoiachin.
