Jeremiah 32:22

22 et dedisti eis terram hanc quam iurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis terram fluentem lacte et melle

Jeremiah 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 32:22

And hast given them this land, which thou didst swear to
their fathers to give them
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; so that God was faithful to his word, kept his covenant and oath; and the faithfulness of God is observed and acknowledged by the prophet, along with other perfections of God before taken notice of. The land of Canaan was a land of promise, confirmed by an oath, and was the pure gift of God to the Israelites, and not any merit of theirs; it was given them by him who had a right to dispose of it, and could make them a good title to it, and which they had; though before in the possession of others, who for their wickedness were driven out: a land flowing with milk and honey:
abounding with plenty of all good things, for the sustenance and comfort of human life; a very frequent description of the land of Canaan, and is expressive of the great kindness and goodness of God to this people.

Jeremiah 32:22 In-Context

20 qui posuisti signa et portenta in terra Aegypti usque ad diem hanc et in Israhel et in hominibus et fecisti tibi nomen sicut est dies haec

21 et eduxisti populum tuum Israhel de terra Aegypti in signis et in portentis et in manu robusta et in brachio extento et in terrore magno

22 et dedisti eis terram hanc quam iurasti patribus eorum ut dares eis terram fluentem lacte et melle

23 et ingressi sunt et possederunt eam et non oboedierunt voci tuae et in lege tua non ambulaverunt omnia quae mandasti eis ut facerent non fecerunt et evenerunt eis omnia mala haec

24 ecce munitiones extructae sunt adversum civitatem ut capiatur et urbs data est in manu Chaldeorum qui proeliantur adversum eam a facie gladii et famis et pestilentiae et quaecumque locutus es acciderunt ut ipse tu cernis
