Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Jeremiah 31:1-6

This prophecy of the restoration of the northern kingdom may belong, like ch. 3, to Jeremiah's early period. The northern Israelites shall be gathered from exile (the wilderness). Yahweh will appear from Zion (Jeremiah 31:3, mg. 1 ; cf. Jeremiah 51:50), declaring His enduring love (Hosea 11:4), and will restore general happiness; in the security of tenure the vineyards (which require time for their development) will be replanted, and their keepers (watchmen, Jeremiah 31:6) will call man to Zion (thus marking the union of the two kingdoms).

Jeremiah 31:2. The. tenses are prophetic perfects. Render Jeremiah 31:2 b, with Driver, I will go that I may cause Israel to rest.

Jeremiah 31:4. tabrets: tambourines; rendered timbrels in Exodus 15:20; Judges 11:34.
