The Hebrew word for "behold" (הִנֵּה, hinneh) is an imperative that calls the listener to pay attention. It emphasizes the certainty and divine authority behind the prophecy. The phrase "the days are coming" (יָמִים בָּאִים, yamim ba'im) indicates a future time that is both imminent and assured, reflecting God's sovereign control over history.<p><b>declares the LORD</b><br />The phrase "declares the LORD" (נְאֻם־יְהוָה, ne'um-YHWH) is a divine affirmation, underscoring that the message is not from Jeremiah himself but from God. This declaration carries the weight of divine authority and truth, reminding the reader of the covenant relationship between God and His people. It is a call to trust in God's promises and His faithfulness.<p><b>when they will no longer say</b><br />This part of the verse suggests a significant change in the cultural or religious expressions of the people. The Hebrew context implies a shift in the collective memory and identity of the Israelites. It points to a future transformation in how God's past acts of deliverance are remembered and spoken of, indicating a new era in God's redemptive history.<p><b>As surely as the LORD lives</b><br />This phrase is an oath formula, often used in the Old Testament to affirm the truthfulness of a statement. It reflects the living nature of God, who is active and present in the lives of His people. The Hebrew expression (חַי־יְהוָה, chai-YHWH) emphasizes God's eternal existence and His ongoing involvement in the world, providing assurance and hope to the faithful.<p><b>who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt</b><br />This reference to the Exodus is a foundational event in Israel's history, symbolizing God's deliverance and covenant faithfulness. The Hebrew term for "brought up" (הֶעֱלָה, he'elah) conveys the idea of elevation and liberation. The Exodus narrative is central to Israel's identity, serving as a reminder of God's power and His commitment to His promises. This phrase sets the stage for a new act of divine deliverance that will surpass even the Exodus in its significance.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/23.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(7) <span class= "bld">The days come, saith the Lord.</span>--See Notes on <a href="/context/jeremiah/16-14.htm" title="Therefore, behold, the days come, said the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;">Jeremiah 16:14-15</a>, of which the words are almost verbally a reproduction. There, however, stress is laid chiefly on the fact of the exile, here on that of the restoration. The LXX. version omits them here, but inserts them, where they are obviously out of place, at the end of the chapter. It was fitting that they should be repeated here, as connecting the hope that had before been general with the personal reign of the "Branch" of the house of David.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/23.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 7, 8.</span> - This is another of Jeremiah's repetitions (see <a href="/jeremiah/16-14.htm">Jeremiah 16:14, 15</a>). Either the Septuagint translator or the copyist of the Hebrew manuscript which he used appears to have thought that the passage might, therefore, be dispensed with. In the Septuagint it is placed at the end of the chapter (being possibly supplied from another Hebrew manuscript), and the form given in this version to the close of ver. 6 (<span class="greek">Ἰωσεδὲκ</span> <span class="greek">ἐν τοῖς προφηταῖς</span>, combining the opening words of ver. 9) shows that ver. 9 followed immediately upon ver. 6 in the Hebrew manuscript. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/23-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">So</span><br /><span class="heb">לָכֵ֛ן</span> <span class="translit">(lā·ḵên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3651.htm">Strong's 3651: </a> </span><span class="str2">So -- thus</span><br /><br /><span class="word">behold,</span><br /><span class="heb">הִנֵּֽה־</span> <span class="translit">(hin·nêh-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Interjection<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2009.htm">Strong's 2009: </a> </span><span class="str2">Lo! behold!</span><br /><br /><span class="word">[the] days</span><br /><span class="heb">יָמִ֥ים</span> <span class="translit">(yā·mîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
