Commentary on Jeremiah 42:12

Theological / Devotional

To return to your own land. This may be understood as signifying either that they would be taken to Babylon as others had been and later returned to their homeland; or that they, as the “remnant” of the Jews permitted by the Chaldeans to remain now in the land (2 Kings 25:10-12, 22), would surely return to their own fields and vineyards. It seems evident that Jeremiah intended to convey the latter meaning.
