6 tn This word only occurs here in the Hebrew Bible. All the lexicons are agreed as seeing it referring to a collar placed around the neck. The basis for this definition are the cognate languages (see, e.g., HALOT 958-59 s.v. צִינֹק for the most complete discussion). |

1 sn This refers to the remnant of northern Israel who had not been killed when Assyria conquered Israel in 722 |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 31:4) |
1 sn For the significance of this metaphor see the note on Jer 14:17. Here the emphasis appears on his special love and care for his people and the hint (further developed in vv. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">21-22) that, though guilty of sin, he considers them like an innocent young virgin. |

4 tn The verb here is from the same root as the preceding and is probably an example of the “tolerative Niphal,” i.e., “I let myself be disciplined/I responded to it.” See IBHS 389-90 §23.4g and note the translation of some of the examples there, especially Isa 19:22; 65:1. |

1 tn Heb “Just as I watched over them to uproot and to tear down, to destroy and demolish, so I will watch over them to build and to plant.” The words here repeat those of here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">1:10 and 1:12. |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 32:4) |
2 tn Heb “his [Zedekiah’s] mouth will speak with his [Nebuchadnezzar’s] mouth and his eyes will see his eyes.” The verbs here are an obligatory imperfect and its vav consecutive perfect equivalent. (See IBHS 508-9 §31.4g for discussion and examples of the former and IBHS 528 §32.2.1d, n. 16, for the latter.) |

1 sn Compare Jer 34:2-3 for this same prophecy. The incident in Jer 34:1-7 appears to be earlier than this one. Here Jeremiah is confined to the courtyard of the guardhouse; there he appears to have freedom of movement. |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 32:5) |
3 sn The pronouns are plural here, referring to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. Jeremiah had counseled that they surrender (cf. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">27:12; 21:8-10) because they couldn’t succeed against the Babylonian army even under the most favorable circumstances (here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">37:3-10). |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 32:7) |
1 tn Heb “your right.” The term מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat) here and in v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">8 refers to legal entitlement for the option to purchase a property (BDB 1049 s.v. מִשְׁפָּט 5; cf. Deut 21:17). |

1 tn Heb “You brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and wonders and with a mighty hand and with outstretched arm and with great terror.” For the figurative expressions involved here see the marginal notes on here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">27:5. The sentence has been broken down to better conform to contemporary English style. |

5 sn See the study note on Jer 29:18 and compare here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">29:14; 30:3, 18; 31:23; 32:44; 33:7 for the meaning and usage of this idiom. The promise here repeats that in here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">33:7. |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 33:20) |
2 tn The word יוֹמָם (yomam) is normally an adverb meaning “daytime, by day, daily.” However, here and in v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">25 and in Jer 15:9 it means “day, daytime” (cf. BDB 401 s.v. יוֹמָם 1). |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 34:13) |
4 tn Heb “made a covenant, saying.” This was only one of several stipulations of the covenant. The form used here has been chosen as an indirect way of relating the specific stipulation that is being focused upon to the general covenant that is referred to in v. here%27s&tab=notes" ver="">13. |

1 tn Heb “The words of Jonadab son of Rechab which he commanded his descendants not to drink wine have been carried out.” (For the construction of the accusative of subject after a passive verb illustrated here see GKC 388 §121.b.)

2 sn It is generally agreed that this is the same as the inner court mentioned in 1 Kgs 6:36; 7:12. It is called “upper” here because it stood above (cf. 1 Kgs 7:12) the outer court where all the people were standing. |
| (0.5003795) | (Jer 36:20) |
1 tn Heb “they deposited.” For the usage of the verb here see BDB 824 s.v. פָּקַד Hiph.2.b and compare the usage in Jer 37:21 where it is used for “confining” Jeremiah in the courtyard of the guardhouse. |
