Berean Study Bible

For behold
This phrase serves as a divine alert, calling the reader to pay attention to the significant promise that follows. In Hebrew, "behold" is often used to emphasize the importance of the message. It is a call to awaken the spiritual senses, urging the audience to recognize the gravity and certainty of God's forthcoming actions.

the days are coming
This phrase indicates a future event, a prophetic assurance that what is being spoken of will indeed occur. In the Hebrew context, it often refers to a divinely appointed time. It reassures the faithful that God's plans are unfolding according to His perfect timeline, offering hope and anticipation for the fulfillment of His promises.

declares the LORD
This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of the message. The Hebrew word for "declares" (נְאֻם, ne'um) is often used in prophetic literature to affirm that the message is directly from God. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and the trustworthiness of His word.

when I will restore from captivity
The Hebrew root for "restore" (שׁוּב, shuv) conveys the idea of returning or bringing back. This promise of restoration is central to the message of hope in Jeremiah. It signifies not only a physical return from exile but also a spiritual renewal and restoration of relationship with God.

My people Israel and Judah
This phrase highlights the inclusivity of God's promise, addressing both the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Despite their division and past unfaithfulness, God reaffirms His covenant relationship with all His people, emphasizing His enduring love and commitment to them.

I will restore them to the land
The promise of returning to the land is deeply significant in the Hebrew context, as the land was a tangible sign of God's covenant with Abraham and his descendants. This restoration is not merely geographical but also symbolic of God's faithfulness to His promises and His desire to bless His people.

that I gave to their fathers
This phrase connects the promise to the patriarchal covenants, reminding the audience of God's longstanding commitment to their ancestors. It reinforces the idea that God's promises are enduring and that He is faithful to fulfill what He has pledged to the forefathers of Israel.

and they will possess it
The assurance of possession speaks to the fulfillment of God's promise and the restoration of His people's rightful inheritance. In the Hebrew context, possession of the land is tied to identity, blessing, and divine favor. It is a promise of security, prosperity, and a renewed relationship with God.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(3) I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah . . .--The oracle of Jeremiah 29:10-14 becomes, as it were, the text of a new utterance, and that with a wider range more distinctly including the ten tribes of Israel as well as the two of Judah and Benjamin. There is no narrow provincialism in the prophet's heart. He yearns for the exiles who are far off on the Euphrates; he yearns also for those who are yet farther in Assyria and the cities of the Medes (2Kings 17:6).
