THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING TIME <— This particular .pro phecy of Jeremiah occurred, it would appear ffom the text itself, at the time when the7 great revival broke “ighfeepnth year of Josi- whienjwas the fifth, year appear ffom the text itself, at the 1’ ■ - ■ - - out in the. ei| ah’s reign,, ' ? _ of the ministry of Jeremiah, and, therefore, about B.C. 621. PLACE ,- '■*— At the entrance or gate of the temple in Jerusalem. We place this chapter in the, eighteenth year . of ‘ Josiah’s reign, which was the "fifth year of the min istry of Jeremiah; , B.C. 621. “Stand, in the gate of Jehovah’s house.” Iff Herod’s, temple there,, were seven, gates connecting, the in ner with the outer court, viz., three on the south, and one on the west. If this represented’ the state .Of miah Would probably have stood at < people who were assembled hi outer court, prepared, to^pass^! “And proclaim^.ther^/Uiis wd; and say, Hear the word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, tl)at enter in at these gates to worship Jehovah.” All the people, of Judah could only be addressed if thebe’ was some na tional feast being- observed, at this time. , . “Thus saith J.ehovah of hosts, the God of Israel Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.”1 Ways wifi mean rather the • settled habits; doings, the separate acts which go to form them. Trust yea hot in lying words, saying.” The word is often used by Jeremiah to describe the vanity and falsehood founded on the method of the teachers who opposed hint “The Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, are temple. of Jehovah, the temple of these.”.- The thrediold repitition is ' for the, sake of emphasis. “For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and-your doings;“if ye thor- , , , J things in Solomon’s t'erriple, Jere- one of these looking down upon the. the in- Ioughly execute justice between a man and his neighbor.” The empha sis here is upon righteous living, i.e., upon, right and just relationships between a man and his fellow7men. “If ye oppress nofy the sojourner,' the fatherless, and the widow. The Mosaic law was stronger in it de nunciations of these sin?

Kurtz, has said: “This bond, still continues,.'ev en though Israel has been banished for seventy; and again for eighteen hundred, years from the land of its inheritance. As the body is adapted and destined for the soul, and, the" ' soul for the bo"3y, so is Israel destin ed for that land and that land-for, Israel. ; “Will ye" steal, jna'urder,..and..com-....... mt adultery, aad swear falsely?’ All of these sins are referred to in 4 the , second table of the decalogue; How deeply Israel was’ guilty of each of these sins at this particular . ’ tifife?? we“"^o;:not :kriow.~" r— “Arid burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods that ye Have not known.” The sins here re- v t ferred to belong' to the first table, of the decalogue? and, in reality, are ■ tfiose which are generally first in- -dulged in before sins against one’s fellow-men are committed. . “And come and, stand before me inXhis house, which is called by my name, and say, We are deliver-, ed; that ye may do all these abo minations?” Jeremiah ' actually charges these people with believing ???' in/their . minds-that, by 4he-discharge?— „ofL.th.e^d.u±y™Qf™oLfering_.saridfic.es,__„__ and worshipping rin thetemple of Jerusalem, • they were set free for a return to wickedness. “Is this house, which is called by my name, become a- den of robbers in your eyes?” This verse is.:the one to which Christ alludes in his de_ ._ munciation of soriiewhat similar con- ditions™in his-own-dgy (-Matt,- 2L:13. Mark 11:17; Luke 19:46). “Behold, ' T- even?T,.~Have seen Tf?-'1^saith; ,'JWpr‘,‘" iJ‘" :at7 vah»”" \Teremiah, here, -no doubt, , touches ironically on the false .con fidence with which, the Jews deceiv- . .ed themselves. “Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, tha God of Israel: Add your bumt-of, ferings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.” Burnt offerings wer« / consumed whole, while of sacrifices certain portions were reserved to. ’ 1 be eaten by the priest and the of ferer.

The correct explana tion of this passage is' well stated by Professor A. W- Streane. The phraseology of Jeremiah proves that he. had in his mind the promulgation of the Ten Commandments on Sinai. -Now, among these> we find no di rection concerning sacrifices and they were the only. precepts which had the honor of being treasured up in the ark. . .. ‘. “But this; thing I commanded them, saying, Hearken unto my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ya in all the way that I command you, . and that it may be well, with you.” Ftoni the fact that obefiiefice to tha . moral law always ranked first, it , follows, and this -is Jeremiah’s spe cial point, that sacri^ces wera ' wholly worthless when offered by the immoraL 1 .
