Jeremías 50:19

19 Y volveré a traer a Israel a su morada, y pacerá en el Carmelo y en Basán; y en el monte de Efraín y de Galaad se saciará su alma

Jeremías 50:19 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 50:19

And I will bring Israel again to his habitation
Or "fold" ^F21, or place of pasturage; for the metaphor of sheep is still continued. Israel designs not the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and the Levites, and a few of the other tribes mixed with them only, but all Israel, together with Judah, as appears from ( Jeremiah 50:20 ) ; and so this prophecy had not its full accomplishment at the Jews' return from the Babylonish captivity; but respects their future conversion, when all Israel shall be saved, and they will return to their own land. Kimchi says this refers to time yet to come; which he prefers to the other sense he mentions, of the return of the captivity of Babylon; and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be
satisfied upon Mount Ephraim and Gilead;
which, as they were all fruitful places, and had good pasturage, so they belonged to the ten tribes; which shows that it respects the return of them and the fulness of blessings, both temporal and spiritual, they shall then enjoy.

Jeremías 50:19 In-Context

17 Ganado descarriado ha sido Israel; leones lo amontonaron; el rey de Asiria lo devoró el primero; este Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia lo deshuesó el postrero

18 Por tanto, así dijo el SEÑOR de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo visito al rey de Babilonia y a su tierra como visité al rey de Asiria

19 Y volveré a traer a Israel a su morada, y pacerá en el Carmelo y en Basán; y en el monte de Efraín y de Galaad se saciará su alma

20 En aquellos días y en aquel tiempo, dijo el SEÑOR, la iniquidad de Israel será buscada, y no aparecerá; y los pecados de Judá, y no se hallarán; porque perdonaré a los que yo hubiere dejado

21 Sube contra la tierra de contumaces (Merataim), contra ella, y contra los moradores de la visitación (Pecod); destruye y mata en pos de ellos, dijo el SEÑOR, y haz conforme a todo lo que yo te he mandado
