Jeremiah 2:3
_ _ holiness unto the Lord — that is, was consecrated to the service of Jehovah (Exodus 19:5, Exodus 19:6). They thus answered to the motto on their high priest’s breastplate, “Holiness to the Lord” (Deuteronomy 7:6; Deuteronomy 14:2, Deuteronomy 14:21).
_ _ first-fruits of his increase — that is, of Jehovah’s produce. As the first-fruits of the whole produce of the land were devoted to God (Exodus 23:19; Numbers 18:12, Numbers 18:13), so Israel was devoted to Him as the first-fruit and representative nation among all nations. So the spiritual Israel (James 1:18; Revelation 14:4).
_ _ devour — carrying on the image of first-fruits which were eaten before the Lord by the priests as the Lord’s representatives; all who ate (injured) Jehovah’s first-fruits (Israel), contracted guilt: for example, Amalek, the Amorites, etc., were extirpated for their guilt towards Israel.
_ _ shall come — rather, “came.” |
Jeremiah 2:3
Holiness — A people dedicated to God. As — As the first fruits were holy to God, so was Israel. Devour — All that were injurious to him. Offend — Were liable to punishment. Evil — Evil was inflicted on them from the Lord, as upon the Egyptians, Amalekites, Midianites, Canaanites. |
Jeremiah 2:3
Israel [was] (c) holiness to the LORD, [and] the firstfruits of his increase: all (d) that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.
(c) Chosen above all others to serve the Lord only and the first offered to the Lord of all other nations.
(d) Whoever challenged this people, or else annoyed them, was punished. |
