Jeremias 29:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 29:6

Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters
That is, such as had no wives, who were either bachelors or widowers; not that they were to take wives of the Chaldeans, but of those of their own nation; for intermarriages with Heathens were forbidden them; and this they were to do, in order to propagate their posterity, and keep up a succession: and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands;
or "men" F19; preserving and establishing the right of parents to give their children in marriage, and pointing to them their duty to provide suitable yoke fellows for them; and hereby is signified, that not only they, but their children after them, should continue in this state of captivity: that they may bear sons and daughters, that ye may be increased there;
and not diminished;
like their ancestors in Egypt, who grew very numerous amidst all their afflictions and bondage.

Jeremias 29:6 In-Context

4 “Assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel, a todos os exilados, que deportei de Jerusalém para a Babilônia:
5 ‘Construam casas e habitem nelas; plantem jardins e comam de seus frutos.
6 Casem-se e tenham filhos e filhas; escolham mulheres para casar-se com seus filhos e deem as suas filhas em casamento, para que também tenham filhos e filhas. Multipliquem-se e não diminuam.
7 Busquem a prosperidade da cidade para a qual eu os deportei e orem ao SENHOR em favor dela, porque a prosperidade de vocês depende da prosperidade dela’.
8 Porque assim diz o SENHOR dos Exércitos, o Deus de Israel: ‘Não deixem que os profetas e adivinhos que há no meio de vocês os enganem. Não deem atenção aos sonhos que vocês os encorajam a terem.
