Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 34:14

_ _ At the end of seven years — that is, not on the eighth year, but within the limit of the seventh year, not later than the end of the seventh year (Exodus 21:2; Exodus 23:10; Deuteronomy 15:12). So “at the end of three years” (Deuteronomy 14:28; 2 Kings 18:10), and “after three days, I will rise again” (Matthew 27:63), that is, on the third day (compare Matthew 27:64).
