And you will be My people
This phrase is a profound declaration of the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Hebrew word for "people" is "עַם" (am), which signifies a collective group bound by common identity and purpose. Historically, this covenantal language echoes God's promises to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament. It signifies not just a social or ethnic identity but a spiritual belonging and commitment. In the context of Jeremiah, this promise is particularly poignant as it is given during a time of exile and despair, offering hope and restoration. The phrase underscores the idea that despite Israel's unfaithfulness, God's commitment to His people remains steadfast.

and I will be your God
This part of the verse emphasizes the reciprocal nature of the covenant. The Hebrew word for "God" here is "אֱלֹהִים" (Elohim), a term that denotes power, authority, and divinity. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His role as the ultimate protector and provider. In the historical context of Jeremiah, this assurance would have been incredibly comforting to the Israelites, who were facing the consequences of their disobedience. The phrase "I will be your God" is not just a statement of fact but a promise of intimate relationship and divine care. It reflects God's desire for a personal and communal relationship with His people, one that is characterized by love, guidance, and faithfulness. This promise is a cornerstone of the biblical narrative, pointing forward to the ultimate fulfillment in the New Covenant through Jesus Christ, where this relationship is extended to all who believe.

Verse 22. - This verse is omitted in the Septuagint, and (unless the existence of later insertions is denied altogether) is all but certainly due to a later hand (comp. Jeremiah 7:23). Comp. on vers. 10,11.
