Jeremiah 33:20

Context
33:20 “I, Lord, make the following promise:¹ ‘I have made a covenant with the day² and with the night that they will always come at their proper times. Only if you people³ could break that covenant

¹tn Heb “Thus says the Lord.” However, the Lord is speaking so the first person introduction has again been adopted. The content of the verse shows that it is a promise to David (vv. 21-22) and the Levites based on a contrary to fact condition (v. 20). See further the translator’s note at the end of the next verse for explanation of the English structure adopted here.

²tn The word יוֹמָם (yomam) is normally an adverb meaning “daytime, by day, daily.” However, here and in v. 25 and in Jer 15:9 it means “day, daytime” (cf. BDB 401 s.v. יוֹמָם 1).

³tn Heb “you.” The pronoun is plural as in 32:36, 43; 33:10.
