Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 2:10 In-Context

8 Los sacerdotes no dijeron: "¿Dónde está el SEÑOR?" Los que se ocupaban de la ley no me conocieron, los gobernantes se rebelaron contra mí, y los profetas profetizaban por Baal, y andaban tras cosas que no aprovechan.
9 Por tanto, aún contenderé con vosotrosdeclara el SEÑOR y con los hijos de vuestros hijos contenderé.
10 Pasad, pues, a las islas de Quitim y ved, enviad a Cedar y observad atentamente, y ved si ha habido cosa semejante:
11 ¿Ha cambiado alguna nación sus dioses, aunque ésos no son dioses? Pues mi pueblo ha cambiado su gloria por lo que no aprovecha.
12 Espantaos, oh cielos, por esto, y temblad, quedad en extremo desoladosdeclara el SEÑOR.
