Jeremiah 24:6-7

Context
24:6 I will look after their welfare¹ and will restore them to this land. There I will build them up and will not tear them down. I will plant them firmly in the land² and will not uproot them.³ 24:7 I will give them the desire to acknowledge that I⁴ am the Lord. I will be their God and they will be my people. For they will wholeheartedly⁵ return to me.’

¹tn Heb “I will set my eyes upon them for good.” For the nuance of “good” see Jer 21:10; Amos 9:4 (in these cases the opposite of harm; see BDB 375 s.v. טוֹבָה 1).

²tn The words “There” and “firmly in the land” are not in the text but are implicit from the connection and the metaphor. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

³sn For these terms see Jer 1:10.

⁴tn Heb “I will give them a heart to know me that I am the Lord.” For the use of “heart” here referring to “inclinations, resolutions, and determinations of the will” see BDB 525 s.v. לֵב 4 and compare the usage in 2 Chr 12:14. For the use of “know” to mean “acknowledge” see BDB 384 s.v. יָדַע Qal.1.f and compare the usage in Jer 39:4. For the construction “know ‘someone’ that he…” = “know that ‘someone’…” see GKC 365 §117.h and compare the usage in 2 Sam 3:25.

⁵tn Heb “with all their heart.”
