Yeremia 3:18
Konteks3:18 At that time 1 the nation of Judah and the nation of Israel will be reunited. 2 Together they will come back from a land in the north to the land that I gave to your ancestors as a permanent possession. ” 3
Yeremia 23:6
Konteks23:6 Under his rule 4 Judah will enjoy safety 5
and Israel will live in security. 6
This is the name he will go by:
‘The Lord has provided us with justice.’ 7
Yeremia 30:3
Konteks30:3 For I, the Lord, affirm 8 that the time will come when I will reverse the plight 9 of my people, Israel and Judah,’ says the Lord. ‘I will bring them back to the land I gave their ancestors 10 and they will take possession of it once again.’” 11
Yeremia 30:10
Konteks30:10 So I, the Lord, tell you not to be afraid,
you descendants of Jacob, my servants. 12
Do not be terrified, people of Israel.
For I will rescue you and your descendants
from a faraway land where you are captives. 13
The descendants of Jacob will return to their land and enjoy peace.
They will be secure and no one will terrify them. 14
Yeremia 33:7
Konteks33:7 I will restore Judah and Israel 15 and will rebuild them as they were in days of old. 16
Yeremia 33:14
Konteks33:14 “I, the Lord, affirm: 17 ‘The time will certainly come when I will fulfill my gracious promise concerning the nations of Israel and Judah. 18
Yeremia 33:24-26
Konteks33:24 “You have surely noticed what these people are saying, haven’t you? They are saying, 19 ‘The Lord has rejected the two families of Israel and Judah 20 that he chose.’ So they have little regard that my people will ever again be a nation. 21 33:25 But I, the Lord, make the following promise: 22 I have made a covenant governing the coming of day and night. I have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth. 33:26 Just as surely as I have done this, so surely will I never reject the descendants of Jacob. Nor will I ever refuse to choose one of my servant David’s descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, 23 I will restore them 24 and show mercy to them.”
Yeremia 50:4
Konteks50:4 “When that time comes,” says the Lord, 25
“the people of Israel and Judah will return to the land together.
They will come back with tears of repentance
as they seek the Lord their God. 26
Yesaya 11:12-13
Konteks11:12 He will lift a signal flag for the nations;
he will gather Israel’s dispersed people 27
and assemble Judah’s scattered people
from the four corners of the earth.
11:13 Ephraim’s jealousy will end, 28
and Judah’s hostility 29 will be eliminated.
Ephraim will no longer be jealous of Judah,
and Judah will no longer be hostile toward Ephraim.
Yehezkiel 37:16-27
Konteks37:16 “As for you, son of man, take one branch, and write on it, ‘For Judah, and for the Israelites associated with him.’ Then take another branch and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the branch of Ephraim and all the house of Israel associated with him.’ 37:17 Join 30 them as one stick; 31 they will be as one in your hand. 37:18 When your people 32 say to you, ‘Will you not tell us what these things mean?’ 37:19 tell them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am about to take the branch of Joseph which is in the hand of Ephraim and the tribes of Israel associated with him, and I will place them on the stick of Judah, 33 and make them into one stick – they will be one in my hand.’ 34 37:20 The sticks you write on will be in your hand in front of them. 37:21 Then tell them, ‘This is what the sovereign Lord says: Look, I am about to take the Israelites from among the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from round about and bring them to their land. 37:22 I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will rule over them all. They will never again be two nations and never again be divided into two kingdoms. 35 37:23 They will not defile themselves with their idols, their detestable things, and all their rebellious deeds. I will save them from all their unfaithfulness 36 by which they sinned. I will purify them; they will become my people and I will become their God.
37:24 “‘My servant David will be king over them; there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow 37 my regulations and carefully observe my statutes. 38 37:25 They will live in the land I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived; they will live in it – they and their children and their grandchildren forever. David my servant will be prince over them forever. 37:26 I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be a perpetual covenant with them. 39 I will establish them, 40 increase their numbers, and place my sanctuary among them forever. 37:27 My dwelling place will be with them; I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Hosea 1:11
Konteks1:11 Then the people 41 of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint for themselves one leader, 42 and will flourish in the land. 43 Certainly, 44 the day of Jezreel will be great!
Zakharia 10:6-7
Konteks10:6 “I (says the Lord) will strengthen the kingdom 45 of Judah and deliver the people of Joseph 46 and will bring them back 47 because of my compassion for them. They will be as though I had never rejected them, for I am the Lord their God and therefore I will hear them. 10:7 The Ephraimites will be like warriors and will rejoice as if they had drunk wine. Their children will see it and rejoice; they will celebrate in the things of the Lord.
Roma 11:26-29
Konteks11:26 And so 48 all Israel will be saved, as it is written:
“The Deliverer will come out of Zion;
he will remove ungodliness from Jacob.
11:27 And this is my covenant with them, 49
when I take away their sins.” 50
11:28 In regard to the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but in regard to election they are dearly loved for the sake of the fathers. 11:29 For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable.
[3:18] 1 tn Heb “In those days.”
[3:18] 2 tn Heb “the house of Judah will walk together with the house of Israel.”
[3:18] 3 tn Heb “the land that I gave your [fore]fathers as an inheritance.”
[23:6] 4 tn Heb “In his days [= during the time he rules].”
[23:6] 5 tn Parallelism and context (cf. v. 4) suggest this nuance for the word often translated “be saved.” For this nuance elsewhere see Ps 119:117; Prov 28:18 for the verb (יָשַׁע [yasha’] in the Niphal); and Ps 12:6; Job 5:4, 11 for the related noun (יֶשַׁע, yesha’).
[23:6] 6 sn It should be noted that this brief oracle of deliverance implies the reunification of Israel and Judah under the future Davidic ruler. Jeremiah has already spoken about this reunification earlier in 3:18 and will have more to say about it in 30:3; 31:27, 31. This same ideal was espoused in the prophecies of Hosea (1:10-11 [2:1-2 HT]), Isaiah (11:1-4, 10-12), and Ezekiel (37:15-28) all of which have messianic and eschatological significance.

[23:6] sn The Hebrew word translated “justice” here is very broad in its usage, and it is hard to catch all the relevant nuances for this word in this context. It is used for “vindication” in legal contexts (see, e.g., Job 6:29), for “deliverance” or “salvation” in exilic contexts (see, e.g., Isa 58:8), and in the sense of ruling, judging with “justice” (see, e.g., Lev 19:15; Isa 32:1). Here it probably sums up the justice that the

[30:3] 9 tn Heb “restore the fortune.” For the translation and meaning of this idiom see the note at 29:14.
[30:3] 11 sn As the nations of Israel and Judah were united in their sin and suffered the same fate – that of exile and dispersion – (cf. Jer 3:8; 5:11; 11:10, 17) so they will ultimately be regathered from the nations and rejoined under one king, a descendant of David, and regain possession of their ancestral lands. The prophets of both the eighth and seventh century looked forward to this ideal (see, e.g., Hos 1:11 (2:2 HT); Isa 11:11-13; Jer 23:5-6; 30:3; 33:7; Ezek 37:15-22). This has already been anticipated in Jer 3:18.

[30:10] 13 tn Heb “For I will rescue you from far away, your descendants from the land of their captivity.”
[30:10] 14 sn Compare the ideals of the Mosaic covenant in Lev 26:6, the Davidic covenant in 2 Sam 7:10-11, and the new covenant in Ezek 34:25-31.
[33:7] 15 tn Heb “I will reverse [or restore] the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel.” For this idiom see the translator’s note on Jer 29:14 and see the usage in 30:3, 18; 31:23; 32:44.
[33:7] 16 tn This phrase simply means “as formerly” (BDB 911 s.v. רִאשׁוֹן 3.a). The reference to the “as formerly” must be established from the context. See the usage in Judg 20:32; 1 Kgs 13:6; Isa 1:26.
[33:7] sn Reference is to the reunification of Israel and Judah to the state that they were before the division after Solomon. Compare Jer 3:18; 30:3; 31:27 and see the study note on 30:3.
[33:14] 17 tn Heb “Oracle of the
[33:14] 18 sn This refers at the very least to the promises of Jer 23:5-6, 7-8; 30:3; 31:27, 31 where the same formula “The time will certainly come (Heb “Behold the days are coming”)” occurs. Reference may also be to the promises through the earlier prophets of what is alluded to here, i.e., the restoration of Israel and Judah under a Davidic ruler and the revival of the offerings (cf. Hos 1:10-11; 3:4-5; Amos 9:11-12; Isa 11:1-5, 10-16; Jer 30:9, 21 for the former and Jer 31:14; 33:11 for the latter).
[33:24] 19 tn Heb “Have you not seen what this people have said, saying.” The question is rhetorical and expects a positive answer. The sentence has been broken in two to better conform with contemporary English style.
[33:24] 20 tn Heb “The two families which the
[33:24] 21 tn Heb “and my people [i.e., Israel and Judah] they disdain [or look down on] from being again a nation before them.” The phrase “before them” refers to their estimation, their mental view (cf. BDB s.v. פָּנֶה II.4.a[g]). Hence it means they look with disdain on the people being a nation again (cf. BDB s.v. עוֹד 1.a[b] for the usage of עוֹד [’od] here).
[33:25] 22 tn Heb “Thus says the
[33:26] 23 tn The Hebrew particle כִּי (ki) is probably intensive here as it has been on a number of occasions in the book of Jeremiah (see BDB 472 s.v. כִּי 1.e for the category).
[33:26] 24 tn Or “I will make them prosperous once again,” or “I will bring them back from captivity.”
[33:26] sn For the meaning of this idiom see the translator’s note on Jer 29:14 and compare the usage in 29:14; 30:3, 18; 31:23; 32:44; 33:7, 11. This has been the emphasis on this section which is called by some commentators “The Book of Consolation.” Jeremiah’s emphasis up until chapters 30-33 had been on judgment but he was also called to be the prophet of restoration (cf. Jer 1:10). Promises of restoration though rare up to this point have, however, occurred on occasion (see, e.g., Jer 3:18; 23:5-7; 24:6-7; 29:10-14).

[11:12] 27 tn Or “the banished of Israel,” i.e., the exiles.
[11:13] 28 tn Heb “turn aside”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “depart.”
[11:13] 29 tn Heb “hostile ones of Judah.” Elsewhere when the substantival participle of צָרָר (tsarar) takes a pronominal suffix or appears in a construct relationship, the following genitive is objective. (For a list of texts see BDB 865 s.v. III צָרַר) In this case the phrase “hostile ones of Judah” means “those who are hostile toward Judah,” i.e., Judah’s enemies. However, the parallel couplet that follows suggests that Judah’s hostility toward Ephraim is in view. In this case “hostile ones of Judah” means “hostile ones from Judah.” The translation above assumes the latter, giving the immediate context priority over general usage.
[37:17] 30 tn Heb “bring near.”
[37:17] 31 tn Heb “one to one for you for one stick.”
[37:18] 32 tn Heb “the sons of your people.”
[37:19] 33 tn Heb “I will place them on it, that is, on the stick of Judah.”
[37:19] 34 sn The reunification of Israel and Judah is envisioned as well in Ezek 33:23, 29; Jer 3:18; 23:5-6; Hos 1:11; Amos 9:11.
[37:22] 35 sn Jeremiah also attested to the reuniting of the northern and southern kingdoms (Jer 3:12, 14; 31:2-6).
[37:23] 36 tc Heb “their dwellings.” The text as it stands does not make sense. Based on the LXX, a slight emendation of two vowels, including a mater, yields the reading “from their turning,” a reference here to their turning from God and deviating from his commandments. See BDB 1000 s.v. מְשׁוּבָה, and D. I. Block, Ezekiel (NICOT), 2:407.
[37:24] 37 tn Heb “walk [in].”
[37:24] 38 tn Heb “and my statutes they will guard and they will do them.”
[37:26] 39 sn See Isa 24:5; 55:3; 61:8; Jer 32:40; 50:5; Ezek 16:60, for other references to perpetual covenants.
[37:26] 40 tn Heb “give them.”
[1:11] 41 tn Heb “sons” (twice in this verse, so NASB); KJV, ASV “children”; NIV, NRSV, TEV “people.”
[1:11] 42 tn Heb “head” (so KJV, NAB, NRSV).
[1:11] 43 tn Alternatively, “gain possession of the land” (cf. NRSV) or “rise up from the land” (cf. NIV). This clause may be understood in two ways: (1) Israel will gain ascendancy over the land or conquer the land (e.g., Exod 1:10; cf. NAB “come up from other lands”) or (2) Israel will be “planted” in the land (Hos 2:24-25; cf. NLT “will…plant his people”).
[1:11] 44 tn Or “For” (so NASB); NCV “because”; TEV “Yes.”
[10:6] 46 tn Or “the kingdom of Israel”; Heb “the house of Joseph.”
[10:6] sn Joseph is mentioned here instead of the usual Israel (but see 2 Sam 19:20; Ps 78:67; 80:1; 81:5; Ezek 37:16; Amos 5:6, 15; 6:6) because of the exodus motif that follows in vv. 8-11.
[10:6] 47 tc The anomalous MT reading וְחוֹשְׁבוֹתִים (vÿkhoshÿvotim) should probably be וַהֲשִׁי בוֹתִם (vahashi votim), the Hiphil perfect consecutive of שׁוּב (shuv), “return” (cf. Jer 12:15).
[11:26] 48 tn It is not clear whether the phrase καὶ οὕτως (kai Joutws, “and so”) is to be understood in a modal sense (“and in this way”) or in a temporal sense (“and in the end”). Neither interpretation is conclusive from a grammatical standpoint, and in fact the two may not be mutually exclusive. Some, like H. Hübner, who argue strongly against the temporal reading, nevertheless continue to give the phrase a temporal significance, saying that God will save all Israel in the end (Gottes Ich und Israel [FRLANT], 118).
[11:27] 49 sn A quotation from Isa 59:20-21.
[11:27] 50 sn A quotation from Isa 27:9; Jer 31:33-34.
