In biblical literature, repetition is often used to draw attention to a critical point. The land here refers to the nation of Judah, which is facing impending judgment due to its disobedience and idolatry. This echoes the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where the land is a significant aspect of the promise given to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12.htm">Genesis 12:1-3</a>). The land is not just a physical territory but represents the people and their spiritual state. The triple repetition can also be seen as a call to the entire nation, including its leaders and inhabitants, to heed the warning.<p><b>hear the word of the LORD!</b><br>This phrase is a direct call to listen and obey the divine message. In the prophetic tradition, the "word of the LORD" is authoritative and demands a response. The prophets were God's messengers, and their words carried the weight of divine authority. In the context of Jeremiah, this call to hear is a plea for repentance and a return to covenant faithfulness. The concept of hearing in Hebrew culture goes beyond mere auditory reception; it implies obedience and action (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-4.htm">Deuteronomy 6:4-5</a>). This call to hear is reminiscent of the Shema, where Israel is commanded to listen and love the LORD with all their heart. The urgency of this message is underscored by the dire consequences of ignoring God's word, as seen in the subsequent Babylonian exile.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, called by God to deliver messages of warning and hope to the people of Judah.
