In the historical context, Israel relied on priests and prophets to mediate their understanding of God. This prophecy points to a new covenant where the law is written on hearts (<a href="/jeremiah/31-33.htm">Jeremiah 31:33</a>), suggesting a personal and direct relationship with God. This anticipates the New Testament era, where the Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in teaching believers (<a href="/john/14-26.htm">John 14:26</a>).because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest, The inclusivity of "from the least of them to the greatest" emphasizes that this knowledge of God will transcend social, economic, and cultural barriers. In ancient Israel, societal status often influenced one's access to religious instruction. This prophecy envisions a democratization of divine knowledge, fulfilled in the New Testament through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost (<a href="/acts/2-17.htm">Acts 2:17-18</a>), where all believers, regardless of status, receive the Spirit.declares the LORD. This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of the prophecy. The use of "declares the LORD" is a common prophetic formula that authenticates the message as coming directly from God. It assures the audience of the reliability and divine origin of the promise, reflecting the covenantal faithfulness of God seen throughout Scripture (<a href="/isaiah/55-11.htm">Isaiah 55:11</a>).For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.” This promise of forgiveness is central to the new covenant, contrasting with the old covenant's sacrificial system, which provided only temporary atonement. The complete forgiveness and forgetfulness of sins point to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection provide eternal redemption (<a href="/hebrews/10-17.htm">Hebrews 10:17-18</a>). This phrase highlights the transformative power of God's grace, fulfilling prophecies of a Messiah who would bear the sins of many (<a href="/isaiah/53-12.htm">Isaiah 53:12</a>) and establishing a new relationship between God and humanity.<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 prophecies concerning the destruction and restoration of Jerusalem and Judah. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who promises a new covenant with His people. 3. <a href="/topical/i/israel_and_judah.htm">Israel and Judah</a> The divided kingdoms of God's chosen people, to whom the promise of a new covenant is given. 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 and forgiveness. 5. <a href="/topical/f/forgiveness_of_sins.htm">Forgiveness of Sins</a> A key aspect of the new covenant, where God promises to forgive and forget the sins of His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_universality_of_knowing_god.htm">The Universality of Knowing God</a> The promise that all will know the Lord signifies a personal and direct relationship with God, available to everyone, regardless of status or background. <a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_forgiveness_in_the_new_covenant.htm">The Role of Forgiveness in the New Covenant</a> God's forgiveness is complete and transformative, offering believers a fresh start and a clean slate, which is central to the new covenant. <a href="/topical/t/the_internalization_of_god's_law.htm">The Internalization of God's Law</a> Unlike the old covenant, which was external and written on stone, the new covenant involves God's law being written on our hearts, leading to genuine obedience and transformation. <a href="/topical/t/the_assurance_of_god's_promises.htm">The Assurance of God's Promises</a> The declaration that God will remember sins no more provides believers with assurance and peace, knowing that their past does not define their future in Christ. <a href="/topical/l/living_in_the_reality_of_the_new_covenant.htm">Living in the Reality of the New Covenant</a> Believers are called to live in the reality of the new covenant, embracing the personal relationship with God and the transformative power of His forgiveness.<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/what_does_the_bible_say_on_past.htm">What does the Bible say about forgetting the past?</a> <a href="/q/is_'forgive_and_forget'_biblical.htm">Is "forgive and forget" a biblical concept?</a> <a href="/q/is_god_unjust_to_forget.htm">Is God unjust to forget?</a> <a href="/q/how_to_reconcile_jeremiah_31_with_jewish_divisions.htm">How do we reconcile Jeremiah 31’s vision of a unified Israel with ongoing historical divisions among Jewish communities?</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>(34) They shall teach no more every man his neighbour . . .--We trace in that hope for the future the profound sense of failure which oppressed the mind of the prophet, as it has oppressed the minds of many true teachers since. What good had come of all the machinery of ritual and of teaching which the Law of Israel had provided so abundantly? Those repeated exhortations on the part of preachers and prophets that men should "know the Lord," what did they present but the dreary monotony as of an "old worm-eaten homily"? To know Him, as indeed He is, required nothing less than a special revelation of His presence to each man's heart and spirit, and that revelation was now, for his comfort, promised for all who were willing to receive it as the special gift of the near or distant future which opened to his view in his vision of a restored Israel. Here also the words of Jeremiah echo those of an older prophet (<a href="/isaiah/54-13.htm" title="And all your children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of your children.">Isaiah 54:13</a>), and find their fulfilment in those of Christ (<a href="/john/6-45.htm" title="It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes to me.">John 6:45</a>).I will forgive their iniquity . . .--The second clause repeats the promise of the first, in a form which is, perhaps, from the necessity of the case, after the manner of men. Our thoughts of God as the All knowing preclude the idea of any limitation of His knowledge, such as the words "I will remember no more" imply. What is meant is that He will be to him who repents and knows Him as indeed He is, in His essential righteousness and love, as men are to men when they "forget and forgive." He will treat the past offences, even though their inevitable consequences may continue, as though they had never been, so far as they affect the communion of the soul with God. He will, in the language of another prophet, "blot out" the sins which yet belong to the indelible and irrevocable past (<a href="/isaiah/43-25.htm" title="I, even I, am he that blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and will not remember your sins.">Isaiah 43:25</a>; <a href="/isaiah/44-22.htm" title="I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins: return to me; for I have redeemed you.">Isaiah 44:22</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/31.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 34. - On this verse, see note on the paragraph. <a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/31-34.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>No וְלֹ֧א (wə·lō) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no longer ע֗וֹד (‘ō·wḏ) Adverb <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more will each man אִ֣ישׁ (’îš) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person teach יְלַמְּד֣וּ (yə·lam·mə·ḏū) Verb - Piel - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3925.htm">Strong's 3925: </a> To exercise in, learn his neighbor רֵעֵ֜הוּ (rê·‘ê·hū) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_7453.htm">Strong's 7453: </a> Friend, companion, fellow [or] וְאִ֤ישׁ (wə·’îš) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_376.htm">Strong's 376: </a> A man as an individual, a male person his brother, אָחִיו֙ (’ā·ḥîw) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_251.htm">Strong's 251: </a> A brother, ) saying, לֵאמֹ֔ר (lê·mōr) Preposition-l | Verb - Qal - Infinitive construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say ‘Know דְּע֖וּ (də·‘ū) Verb - Qal - Imperative - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know the LORD,’ יְהוָ֑ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel because כִּֽי־ (kî-) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction they will all כוּלָּם֩ (ḵūl·lām) Noun - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> The whole, all, any, every know יֵדְע֨וּ (yê·ḏə·‘ū) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3045.htm">Strong's 3045: </a> To know Me, אוֹתִ֜י (’ō·w·ṯî) Direct object marker | first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_853.htm">Strong's 853: </a> Untranslatable mark of the accusative case from the least of them לְמִקְטַנָּ֤ם (lə·miq·ṭan·nām) Preposition-l, Preposition-m | Adjective - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6996.htm">Strong's 6996: </a> Small, young, unimportant to וְעַד־ (wə·‘aḏ-) Conjunctive waw | Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5704.htm">Strong's 5704: </a> As far as, even to, up to, until, while the greatest, גְּדוֹלָם֙ (gə·ḏō·w·lām) Adjective - masculine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1419.htm">Strong's 1419: </a> Great, older, insolent declares נְאֻם־ (nə·’um-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5002.htm">Strong's 5002: </a> An oracle the LORD. יְהוָ֔ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel For כִּ֤י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction I will forgive אֶסְלַח֙ (’es·laḥ) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5545.htm">Strong's 5545: </a> To forgive, pardon their iniquity לַֽעֲוֺנָ֔ם (la·‘ă·wō·nām) Preposition-l | Noun - common singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5771.htm">Strong's 5771: </a> Iniquity, guilt, punishment for iniquity and will remember אֶזְכָּר־ (’ez·kār-) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - first person common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2142.htm">Strong's 2142: </a> To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male their sins וּלְחַטָּאתָ֖ם (ū·lə·ḥaṭ·ṭā·ṯām) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2403.htm">Strong's 2403: </a> An offence, its penalty, occasion, sacrifice, expiation, an offender no לֹ֥א (lō) Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no more.?
