Jeremias 2:10 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 2:10

For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see
Or, "to the isles of Chittim" F26; so called from Kittim the son of Javan, ( Genesis 10:4 ) who, as Josephus says F1, possessed the island of Chethima, now called Cyprus; and, from that, all islands, and most maritime places, are, by the Hebrews, called Chittim, he observes: it may regard all the islands in the Aegean and Mediterranean seas: and send unto Kedar;
which was in Arabia, and lay to the east, as Chittim to the west; and so the Targum paraphrases it,

``send to the provinces of the Arabians:''
and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing;
as what is inquired about in the following verse, a change of deities. All this is to be understood of the contemplation of the mind, and not of any corporeal journey to be taken, to inquire into this matter.

Jeremias 2:10 In-Context

8 Os sacerdotes não disseram: Onde está o Senhor? E os que tratavam da lei não me conheceram, e os governadores prevaricaram contra mim, e os profetas profetizaram por Baal, e andaram após o que é de nenhum proveito.
9 Portanto ainda contenderei convosco, diz o Senhor; e até com os filhos de vossos filhos contenderei.
10 Pois passai �s ilhas de Quitim, e vede; enviai a Quedar, e atentai bem; vede se jamais sucedeu coisa semelhante.
11 Acaso trocou alguma nação os seus deuses, que contudo não são deuses? Mas o meu povo trocou a sua glória por aquilo que é de nenhum proveito.
12 Espantai-vos disto, ó céus, e horrorizai-vos! ficai verdadeiramente desolados, diz o Senhor.
