It functions here as a transition to the next section which will deal with the restoration of Israel ( 31:3-20 ) and Judah ( 31:21-25 ) and their reunification in the land ( 31:27-29 ) under a new covenant relation with God ( 31:31-37 ).

The Hebrew word translated “enjoy its fruit” is a technical one that refers to the owner of a vineyard getting to enjoy its fruit in the fifth year after it was planted, the crops of the first three years lying fallow, and that of the fourth being given to the Lord (cf. Lev 19:23-25 ).","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2031%3A5/2"}

Here reference is made to the watchmen who signaled the special times of the year such as the new moon and festival times when Israel was to go to Jerusalem to worship. Reference is not made to these in the Hebrew Bible but there is a good deal of instruction regarding them in the later Babylonian Talmud.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2031%3A6/1"}

See especially Isa 35:3-10; 40:3-5, 11; 41:17-20; 42:14-17; 43:16-21; 49:9-13 .

It was the strongest tribe in northern Israel and Samaria lay in its territory. It is often used as a poetic parallel for Israel as here. The poetry is not speaking of two separate entities here; it is a way of repeating an idea for emphasis. Moreover, there is no intent to show special preference for northern Israel over Judah. All Israel is metaphorically Gods son and the object of his special care and concern ( Exod 4:22 ; Deut 32:6 ).","source_note_position":3,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2031%3A9/3"}

The Hebrew word translated “will set…free” is a word used in the legal sphere for paying a redemption price to secure the freedom of a person or thing (see, e.g., Exod 13:13, 15 ). It is used metaphorically and theologically to refer to Israels deliverance from Egyptian bondage ( Deut 15:15 ; Mic 6:4 ) and its deliverance from Babylonian exile ( Isa 35:10 ). The word translated “secure their release” is a word used in the sphere of family responsibility where a person paid the price to free an indentured relative ( Lev 25:48, 49 ) or paid the price to restore a relatives property seized to pay a debt ( Lev 25:25, 33 ). This word, too, was used to refer metaphorically and theologically to Israels deliverance from Egyptian bondage ( Exod 6:6 ) or release from Babylonian exile ( Isa 43:1-4; 44:22 ). These words are traditionally translated “ransom” and “redeem” and are a part of traditional Jewish and Christian vocabulary for physical and spiritual deliverance.","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2031%3A11/1"}

It was on the road between Bethel and Bethlehem. Traditionally, Rachels tomb was located near there at a place called Zelzah ( 1 Sam 10:2 ). Rachel was the mother of Joseph and Benjamin and was very concerned about having children because she was barren ( Gen 30:1-2 ) and went to great lengths to have them ( Gen 30:3, 14-15, 22-24 ). She was the grandmother of Ephraim and Manasseh which were two of the major tribes in northern Israel. Here Rachel is viewed metaphorically as weeping for her “children,” the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, who had been carried away into captivity in 722 b.c .","source_note_position":1,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2031%3A15/1"}

They had once been characterized as an apostate people ( 3:14, 22 ; the word “apostate” and “unfaithful” are the same in Hebrew) and figuratively depicted as an adulterous wife ( 3:20 ). Now they are viewed as having responded to his invitation (compare 31:18-19 with 3:22-25 ). Hence they are no longer depicted as an unfaithful daughter but as an unsullied virgin (see the literal translation of “my dear children” in vv. 4, 21 and the study note on v. 4 .)","source_note_position":2,"source_url":"https://netbible.org/resource/netNote/Jeremiah%2031%3A22/2"}

This was a reversal of the state of Jerusalem in the time of Isaiah and Jeremiah where wickedness not righteousness characterized the inhabitants of the city (cf. Isa 1:21 ; Jer 4:14; 5:1; 13:27 ).
