This phrase introduces a new covenant, distinct from the Mosaic Covenant given at Sinai. The "house of Israel" refers to the collective people of Israel, emphasizing God's ongoing relationship with them despite their past unfaithfulness. "After those days" suggests a future time, often interpreted as the Messianic age. This covenant is characterized by internal transformation rather than external adherence to the law, pointing to a deeper, spiritual renewal. The declaration by the LORD underscores divine authority and the certainty of fulfillment.I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. This signifies a shift from external observance to internalization of God's law. The "minds" and "hearts" represent the center of thought and emotion, indicating a holistic transformation. This internalization is a work of the Holy Spirit, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/36-26.htm">Ezekiel 36:26-27</a>, where God promises to give a new heart and spirit. It prefigures the New Testament understanding of believers being led by the Spirit (<a href="/romans/8-4.htm">Romans 8:4</a>). The imagery of inscribing suggests permanence and personal ownership of God's law, contrasting with the stone tablets of the old covenant.And I will be their God, and they will be My people. This covenantal formula echoes throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, highlighting the relational aspect of God's promises. It reflects God's desire for a personal relationship with His people, fulfilled ultimately in the person of Jesus Christ, who reconciles humanity to God (<a href="/2_corinthians/5-18.htm">2 Corinthians 5:18-19</a>). This relationship is not based on ethnic identity but on faith, as seen in the inclusion of Gentiles in the New Covenant (<a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28-29</a>). The phrase encapsulates the essence of God's redemptive plan, culminating in the eternal fellowship described in <a href="/revelation/21-3.htm">Revelation 21:3</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a> A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of both judgment and hope to the people of Judah. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_house_of_israel.htm">The House of Israel</a> Refers to the collective people of Israel, God's chosen nation, who were often in a covenant relationship with God. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who initiates and fulfills His promises. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_new_covenant.htm">The New Covenant</a> A future promise of a renewed relationship between God and His people, characterized by internal transformation rather than external adherence to the law. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_heart_and_mind.htm">The Heart and Mind</a> Symbolic of the inner being of a person, where true transformation and understanding of God's law occur.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_nature_of_the_new_covenant.htm">The Nature of the New Covenant</a> Unlike the old covenant, which was based on external adherence to the law, the new covenant is characterized by an internal transformation where God's law is inscribed on the heart and mind. <a href="/topical/g/god's_initiative_in_transformation.htm">God's Initiative in Transformation</a> God is the one who initiates and completes the work of transformation in His people, emphasizing His sovereignty and grace. <a href="/topical/t/the_personal_relationship_with_god.htm">The Personal Relationship with God</a> The promise "I will be their God, and they will be My people" highlights a personal and intimate relationship with God, available to all who enter into the new covenant. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_the_holy_spirit.htm">The Role of the Holy Spirit</a> The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in writing God's law on our hearts, guiding us into all truth and empowering us to live according to God's will. <a href="/topical/l/living_out_the_new_covenant.htm">Living Out the New Covenant</a> As recipients of the new covenant, believers are called to live out this internal transformation in their daily lives, reflecting God's character and love to the world.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_jeremiah_31.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Jeremiah 31</a> <a href="/q/how_do_major_and_minor_prophets_differ.htm">What distinguishes Major from Minor Prophets?</a> <a href="/q/is_zen_meditation_compatible_with_christianity.htm">Is Zen meditation compatible with Christian beliefs?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'law_on_our_hearts'_mean.htm">What does "law written on our hearts" mean?</a> <a href="/q/what_does_'spiritual_israel'_mean.htm">What does "spiritual Israel" mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/31.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(33) This shall be the covenant . . .--The prophet felt that nothing less than this would meet the wants of the time, or, indeed, of any time. The experiment, so to speak, of a law requiring righteousness had been tried and had failed. There remained the hope--now, by the Divine word that came to him, turned into an assurance--of a Power imparting righteousness, writing the "law in the inward parts," the centre of consciousness and will, in which God required truth (<a href="/psalms/2-6.htm" title="Yet have I set my king on my holy hill of Zion.">Psalm 2:6</a>), in the heart as the region at once of thoughts and of affections.

It is not here denied that there were, or might be, some under the Old Testament dispensation who had the Divine Law in their heart (see some of the psalms), but speaking of the people as a whole, it must be said that the Law was an external dictator rather than a bosom friend, a mechanical rule rather than a λόγος ἴμφυτος (<a href="/james/1-21.htm">James 1:21</a>). <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>“But כִּ֣י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction this זֹ֣את (zōṯ) Pronoun -
