Commentary on Jeremiah 31:6

Theological / Devotional

The watchmen. The fact that these “watchmen” of Ephraim, the dominant tribe of the northern kingdom, will urge the people to “go up to Zion” (Jerusalem) again emphasizes what is revealed in the previous verse, that all the twelve tribes will be united in one Israel. The rival idolatrous worship setup at Bethel and Dan (see 1 Kings 12:26-33), which was designed to prevent the ten tribes of the northern kingdom from worshiping at the Temple in Jerusalem, would not be revived.
