43 Y poseerán heredad en esta tierra de la cual vosotros decís: Está desierta, sin hombres y sin animales; es entregada en manos de los caldeos

Jeremías 32:43 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:43

And fields shall be bought in this land
After the return from the Babylonish captivity, which this respects; and of which the prophet's purchasing a field of his uncle's son was a pledge and token; in doing which, as a right thing, he is confirmed; as well as the cavils and objections of the Jews removed, who thought the destruction of the city, and such a practice, irreconcilable; and, moreover, this is mentioned as a pledge, earnest, and confirmation of the fulfilment of the above spiritual promises in Gospel times; for the people being returned at the end of the seventy years' captivity, and purchasing fields and vineyards, as was predicted, it might be strongly concluded, that since those temporal blessings promised were made good, spiritual ones would certainly be fulfilled; though some understand these words, in a spiritual sense, of the field of the church; for it is in the singular number, "a field shall be bought" ^F15; yea, "that field", emphatically, which was bought by the blood of Christ, and first planted in the land of Judea, as in ( Jeremiah 32:41 ) ; whereof ye say, [it is] desolate without man or beast;
so wasted and destroyed by the enemy, that neither man nor beast are left, but both carried off by him; and therefore no hope of what is above promised: it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans;
they are become the possessors of it, and therefore it is all over with us as to buying and possessing fields and vineyards; but notwithstanding this diffidence and despair in the present view of things, it follows:

Jeremías 32:43 In-Context

41 Y me alegraré con ellos haciéndoles bien, y los plantaré en esta tierra con verdad, de todo mi corazón y de toda mi alma

42 Porque así dijo el SEÑOR: Como traje sobre este pueblo todo este gran mal, así traeré sobre ellos todo el bien que acerca de ellos hablo

43 Y poseerán heredad en esta tierra de la cual vosotros decís: Está desierta, sin hombres y sin animales; es entregada en manos de los caldeos

44 Heredades comprarán por dinero, y harán carta, y la sellarán, y pondrán testigos, en tierra de Benjamín y en los contornos de Jerusalén, y en las ciudades de Judá; y en las ciudades de las montañas, y en las ciudades de los campos, y en las ciudades que están al Mediodía; porque yo haré tornar su cautividad, dice el SEÑOR
