The context is a call to repentance and reform, as God speaks through Jeremiah to address the people's false sense of security in the temple. The "place" refers to Jerusalem and the temple, which the people believed would protect them regardless of their actions. This promise is contingent upon their obedience and genuine worship, reflecting the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The idea of living in the land is tied to the blessings of the covenant, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>, where obedience leads to blessings, including security in the land.<p><b>in the land that I gave to your fathers</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the historical and covenantal significance of the land of Israel. It recalls the Abrahamic covenant, where God promised the land to Abraham and his descendants (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7, 15</a>:18). The land is a tangible sign of God's faithfulness and a central element of Israel's identity. The reference to "your fathers" connects the current generation to their ancestors, reminding them of their heritage and the conditions of the covenant. It underscores the continuity of God's promises and the expectation of faithfulness from each generation.<p><b>forever and ever</b><br>This phrase highlights the eternal nature of God's promises. While the land was given to Israel as an everlasting possession, the enjoyment of this promise is contingent upon their faithfulness to God. The use of "forever and ever" points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises, which find their completion in the eschatological hope of a restored creation. This eternal perspective is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are promised an eternal inheritance through Christ (<a href="/hebrews/9-15.htm">Hebrews 9:15</a>). The phrase also foreshadows the coming of the Messiah, who secures the eternal promises of God for His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A prophet called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.

Still, the latter connection is both in itself the more probable one, and that suggested first of all by the accentuation (this, however, is not here decisive). It was not the extent of the original premise, but that of the enjoyment of the gift, which was in question.
