In the context of Jeremiah, it often signals a shift from judgment to restoration. The phrase is used frequently in prophetic literature to denote the certainty of God's plans. It emphasizes God's sovereignty and the unfolding of His divine timeline. This future orientation is a common theme in the prophetic books, where God reveals His plans for His people.<p><b>“when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah”</b><br>The imagery of sowing suggests planting and growth, symbolizing restoration and renewal. The "house of Israel" and the "house of Judah" refer to the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, which had been separated since the reign of Rehoboam. This promise of sowing indicates a reunification and a new beginning for both kingdoms. Historically, this reflects the hope for the return from exile and the re-establishment of the nation. The agricultural metaphor would resonate with an agrarian society, emphasizing God's role as the one who brings life and prosperity.<p><b>“with the seed of man and of beast.”</b><br>This phrase indicates a comprehensive restoration involving both people and animals, suggesting a return to a state of abundance and blessing. The inclusion of both "man and beast" highlights the totality of God's restoration, affecting all aspects of life. This can be seen as a reversal of the curses and desolation that had come upon the land due to disobedience. It echoes the creation mandate in Genesis, where God blesses humanity and the creatures of the earth. Theologically, it points to a holistic redemption that encompasses all creation, aligning with the broader biblical narrative of restoration.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who speaks through the prophet Jeremiah, promising restoration and renewal.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, known for his messages of both judgment and hope to the people of Judah and Israel.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/h/house_of_israel.htm">House of Israel</a></b><br>Refers to the northern kingdom, which had been exiled by the Assyrians.

Similarly here, only the tone of complaint is wanting. The thought has suggested itself - Will the Israelites of the latter days be sufficient to fill up the land? Yes, is the answer of revelation; for Jehovah will perform a wonder, and make the people and their cattle so prolific that it will seem as if children and young cattle grew up like plants. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/jeremiah/31-27.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">“The days</span><br /><span class="heb">יָמִ֥ים</span> <span class="translit">(yā·mîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
