Berean Study Bible

You performed signs and wonders
The phrase "signs and wonders" refers to miraculous events that demonstrate God's power and authority. In Hebrew, the word for "signs" is "othot" and "wonders" is "mophethim." These terms are often used together in the Old Testament to describe the miraculous acts God performed, particularly during the Exodus. The signs and wonders in Egypt were not just displays of power but were acts of divine intervention that revealed God's sovereignty and faithfulness to His covenant people. They served as a testament to His ability to deliver and protect His people, reinforcing the belief in His omnipotence and His active role in human history.

in the land of Egypt
Egypt holds significant historical and theological importance in the Bible. It was the place of Israel's bondage and the setting for God's dramatic deliverance of His people. The land of Egypt symbolizes oppression and idolatry, contrasting with the freedom and worship of the one true God. The events in Egypt, particularly the plagues and the parting of the Red Sea, are foundational to the Jewish faith and are frequently referenced throughout Scripture as a reminder of God's deliverance and faithfulness.

and to this day in Israel
The phrase "to this day" emphasizes the enduring impact of God's actions. The miracles performed in Egypt were not just historical events but had lasting significance for the nation of Israel. They were a continual reminder of God's covenant and His ongoing relationship with His people. The phrase also suggests that God's miraculous works were not confined to the past but continued to be evident in the life of Israel, reinforcing the idea of a living and active God who is involved in the affairs of His people.

and among all mankind
This phrase expands the scope of God's miraculous works beyond Israel to include all humanity. It underscores the universal nature of God's power and His concern for all people. The miracles in Egypt were not only a demonstration of God's power to Israel but also a witness to the surrounding nations. This reflects the biblical theme that God's actions are intended to reveal His glory to the entire world, inviting all people to recognize and worship Him.

and You have made a name for Yourself
In biblical terms, making a "name" for oneself refers to establishing a reputation or renown. God's actions in Egypt and throughout history have established His name as one of power, faithfulness, and holiness. This phrase highlights the idea that God's works are not only for the benefit of His people but also for the revelation of His character to the world. His name represents His identity and His attributes, and through His mighty acts, He has made His name known among the nations.

as is the case today
This concluding phrase brings the message of the verse into the present, affirming that the reputation and renown of God established through His past actions continue to be recognized and celebrated. It serves as a reminder that God's faithfulness and power are not just historical truths but are relevant and evident in the present day. This continuity of God's presence and action encourages believers to trust in His unchanging nature and His ongoing involvement in the world.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(20) Even unto this day . . .--The reference to the signs and wonders in Egypt seems natural enough, but in what sense, we ask, could those wonders have been said to have been wrought "unto this day"? It is conceivable that what he had heard of the frogs, and the lice, and the boils of Egypt might seem to Jeremiah the perpetuation, in part, of the old plagues; but we get, perhaps, an adequate meaning by seeing in the words the assertion that the old signs and wonders continued in their effect and in their memory. The "name" continued, though the signs themselves had passed away.

Among other men.--Better, among men. There is no word for "other" in the Hebrew, and the words have their full force of declaring God's universal government over mankind at large.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 20. - Even unto this day. A loose expression. Jeremiah simply means that signs and wonders equal to those wrought in Egypt have continued to the present time. And in Israel; rather, both in Israel.
