The Hebrew text reads “have grazed [= “shaved” ?] your skulls [as a sign of disgracing them].” Note that the reference shifts from third person, “him,” to second person, “you,” which is common in Hebrew style. The words “people of Israel” have been supplied in the translation to help identify the referent and ease the switch. The reading presupposes יְרֹעוּךְ ( yÿro ’ ukh ) a Qal imperfect from the verb רָעַע ( ra ’ a ’; see BDB 949 s.v. II רָעַע Qal.1 and compare usage in Jer 15:2 ; Ps 2:9 ). The MT reads יִרְעוּךְ ( yir ’ ukh ), a Qal imperfect from the root רָעָה ( ra ’ ah ; see BDB 945 s.v. I רָעָה Qal.2.b for usage). The use of the verb in the MT is unparalleled in the sense suggested, but the resultant figure, if “graze” can mean “shave,” is paralleled in Jer 47:5; 48:37 ; Isa 7:20 . The reading of the variant is accepted on the basis that it is the rarer root; the scribe would have been more familiar with the root “graze” even though it is unparalleled in the figurative nuance implied here. The noun “head/skull” is functioning as an accusative of further specification (see GKC 372 §117. ll and compare usage in Gen 3:8 ), i.e., “they crack you on the skull” or “they shave you on the skull.” The verb is a prefixed form and in this context is either a preterite without vav ( ו ) consecutive or an iterative imperfect denoting repeated action.

The abbreviated title occurs seventy-seven times in the book of Jeremiah. On thirty-two occasions it is further qualified by the title “the God of Israel,” showing his special relation to Israel. On six occasions it is preceded by the title “Lord” (see, e.g., 46:10 ) and twice it is preceded by the title “the King” (see, e.g., 51:17 ). Both titles emphasize his sovereignty. Twice it is said that he is the maker of all things ( 10:16; 51:19 ), and once it is said that he made the earth and the people and animals on it and gives them into the control of whomever he wishes ( 27:4-5 ). On two occasions it is emphasized that he also made the heavenly elements and controls the natural elements of wind, rain, thunder, and hail ( 31:35; 51:14-16 ). All this is consistent with usage elsewhere where the “armies” over which he has charge are identified as (1) the angels which surround his throne ( Isa 6:3, 5 ; 1 Kgs 22:19 ) and which he sends to protect his servants ( 2 Kgs 6:17 ), (2) the natural forces of thunder, rain, and hail ( Isa 29:6 ; Josh 10:11 ; Judg 5:4, 5 ) through which he sends the enemy into panic and “gums” up their chariot wheels, (3) the armies of Israel ( 1 Sam 17:45 ) which he leads into battle ( Num 10:34-35 ; Josh 5:14, 15 ) and for whom he fights as a mighty warrior ( Exod 15:3 ; Isa 42:13 ; Ps 24:8 ), and even (4) the armies of the nations which he musters against his disobedient people ( Isa 13:14 ). This title is most commonly found in the messenger formula “Thus says…” introducing both oracles of judgment (on Israel [e.g., 9:7, 15 ] and on the nations [e.g. 46:19; 50:18 ]; and see in general 25:29-32 ). It emphasizes his sovereignty as the king and creator, the lord of creation and of history, and the just judge who sees and knows all ( 11:20; 20:12 ) and judges each person and nation according to their actions ( Jer 32:18-19 ). In the first instance (in the most dominant usage) this will involve the punishment of his own people through the agency of the Babylonians (cf., e.g., 25:8-9 ). But it will also include the punishment of all nations, including Babylon itself (cf. Jer 25:17-26, 32-38 ), and will ultimately result in the restoration of his people and a new relation with them ( 30:8; 31:35-37 ).","source_note_position":5,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%202%3A19/5"}
