Commentary on Jeremiah 37:12

Theological / Devotional

Then Jeremiah went forth. Jeremiah considered his work to be done, after long years of faithful ministry, and now he attempted to retire to his home village of Anathoth (see PK 453).

To separate himself. The Hebrew here is obscure. The RSV reads, “to receive his portion.” Jeremiah had property in Anathoth in “the land of Benjamin” (ch. 32:6-12), and his visit there may have been with reference to this property.
