Jeremías 11:2

2 Oíd las palabras de este Pacto, y hablad a todo varón de Judá, y a todo morador de Jerusalén

Jeremías 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 11:2

Hear ye the words of this covenant
Which. Dr. Lightfoot understands of the covenant lately made in the times of Josiah, upon finding and reading the law of Moses, ( 2 Kings 23:3 ) , but it seems rather to design the law of Moses itself; or the covenant made with the people of Israel on Mount Horeb, ( Exodus 24:7 Exodus 24:8 ) , or rather which was made with them in the land of Moab, ( Deuteronomy 29:1 ) . The words of it are the things contained in it, the blessings and curses; the order to hear them is in the plural number, and is directed, not to Jeremiah only, but to others with him, the rest of the prophets that were in his days; as Zephaniah, who prophesied, as Kimchi observes, in the reign of Josiah; and there was Baruch his companion; or the priests at Anathoth are here addressed with him; though it is usual, in the Hebrew language, to put one number for another; and Jeremiah, in the next verse, is singly addressed; and the Syriac version renders it in the singular number; perhaps the book of the law might lie before him, and be pointed at; and so he is bid to take it, or "receive" it, as the Targum is, and read and publish it to the Jews, as follows: and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
the words of the covenant, and what follows.

Jeremías 11:2 In-Context

1 Palabra que vino del SEÑOR, a Jeremías, diciendo

2 Oíd las palabras de este Pacto, y hablad a todo varón de Judá, y a todo morador de Jerusalén

3 Y les dirás tú: Así dijo el SEÑOR Dios de Israel: Maldito el varón que no oyere las palabras de este Pacto

4 el cual mandé a vuestros padres el día que los saqué de la tierra de Egipto, del horno de hierro, diciéndoles: Oíd mi voz, y cumplid mis palabras, conforme a todo lo que os mando, y me seréis por pueblo, y yo seré a vosotros por Dios

5 para que confirme el juramento que hice a vuestros padres, que les daría la tierra que corre leche y miel, como este día. Y respondí, y dije: Amén, oh SEÑOR
