Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 42:2

_ _ Jeremiah — He probably was one of the number carried off from Mizpah, and dwelt with Johanan (Jeremiah 41:16). Hence the expression is, “came near” (Jeremiah 42:1), not “sent.”

_ _ Let ... supplication be accepted — literally, “fall” (see on Jeremiah 36:7; Jeremiah 37:20).

_ _ pray for us — (Genesis 20:7; Isaiah 37:4; James 5:16).

_ _ thy God — (Jeremiah 42:5). The Jews use this form to express their belief in the peculiar relation in which Jeremiah stood to God as His accredited prophet. Jeremiah in his reply reminds them that God is their God (“your God”) as well as his as being the covenant people (Jeremiah 42:4). They in turn acknowledge this in Jeremiah 42:6, “the Lord our God.”

_ _ few of many — as had been foretold (Leviticus 26:22).
