Jeremiah 23:3

23:3 Then I myself will regather those of my people ¹  who are still alive from all the countries where I have driven them. I will bring them back to their homeland. ²  They will greatly increase in number.

Jeremiah 3:16

3:16 In those days, your population will greatly increase ³  in the land. At that time,” says the Lord, “people will no longer talk about having the ark ⁴  that contains the Lord’s covenant with us. ⁵  They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done any more! ⁶ 

[23:3]  ¹ tn Heb “my sheep.”

[23:3]  ² tn Heb “their fold.”

[3:16]  ³ tn Heb “you will become numerous and fruitful.”

[3:16]  ⁴ tn Or “chest.”

[3:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “the ark of the covenant.” It is called this because it contained the tables of the law which in abbreviated form constituted their covenant obligations to the Lord, cf. Exod 31:18; 32:15; 34:29.

[3:16]  ⁶ tn Or “Nor will another one be made”; Heb “one will not do/make [it?] again.”
