¹ tn Heb “There will be no survivors for/among them.”

² tn Heb “the men of Anathoth.” For the rationale for adding the qualification see the notes on v. 21.

³ tn Heb “I will bring disaster on…, the year of their punishment.”

⁴ tn Heb “In his days [= during the time he rules].”

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’).

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.

⁷ tn Heb “his name will be called ‘The Lord our righteousness’.”

⁷ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.”

⁸ tn Or “a renewed covenant” (also in vv. 22-23).

⁹ tn Heb “the house of Israel and the house of Judah.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “Oracle of the Lord.” For the first person form of address see the translator’s notes on vv. 2, 10, 12.

¹¹ 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).

¹³ tn For the translation of this term in this context see the parallel context in 23:6 and consult the translator’s note there.

¹⁵ tn Heb “And this is what will be called to it: ‘The Lord our righteousness.’”

¹⁶ tn Heb “And to the Levites, the priests [= the Levitical priests, the apposition in place of the adjective] there shall not be cut off a man from before me who offers up burnt offering, sacrifices a cereal offering, or makes a sacrifice all the days.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard.” However, the subject is clear from the preceding and contemporary English style would normally avoid repeating the proper name and title.
