Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Jeremiah 31:1

XXXI.

(1) The God of all the families of Israel. — The union of the ten tribes of Israel and the two of Judah is again prominent in the prophet’s mind. He cannot bear to think of that division, with its deep lines of cleavage in the religious and social life of the people, being perpetuated. Israel should be Israel. This is the crown and consummation of the promise of Jeremiah 30:24.
