Yirmeyah 33:20 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 33:20

Thus saith the Lord, if you can break my covenant of the day,
and my covenant of the night
The same with the ordinances of the sun, moon, and stars, ( Jeremiah 31:35 Jeremiah 31:36 ) ; the original constitution and law of nature, settled from the beginning of the world, and observed ever since, in the constant revolution of day and night; and which was formed into a covenant and promise to Noah, after the deluge, that day and night should not cease, as long as the earth remained, ( Genesis 8:22 ) ; and which has never been, nor can be, broken and made void: so that there should not be day and night in their season;
or turn; continually succeeding each other: this, as it would not be attempted, so could never be effected by any mortals, if it were.

Yirmeyah 33:20 In-Context

18 Neither shall the kohanim the Levi’im lack an ish before Me to offer olah, and to burn minchah, and to do zevakh continually.

19 And the Devar Hashem came unto Yirmeyah, saying,

20 Thus saith Hashem: If ye can break My Brit HaYom, and My Brit HaLailah, that there should not be yomam v’lailah (day and night) in their appointed times;

21 Then may also My Brit (covenant) be broken with Dovid Avdi, that he should not have Ben to reign upon his kisse; and with the Levi’im the kohanim, My mesharetim (ministers, servants).

22 As the Tzeva HaShomayim cannot be numbered, neither the chol (sand) of the yam (sea) measured, so will I multiply the zera Dovid Avdi, and the Levi’im that minister unto Me.
