Context — The Consequences of Forgetting Godgenerated

24“I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.
25This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you,” declares the LORD, “because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.
26So I will pull your skirts up over your face, that your shame may be seen.
27Your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution on the hills and in the fields— I have seen your detestable acts. Woe to you, O Jerusalem! How long will you remain unclean?”

Jeremiah 13:25 reveals God's declaration of judgment against His people for their unfaithfulness. He outlines the fate that awaits them as a result of their actions, emphasizing the importance of remembering Him and placing trust in truth rather than falsehood. This passage serves as a reminder of the serious implications of spiritual neglect and misplaced trust, echoing themes found throughout the prophetic writings in the Old Testament.

The Key Word גוֹרָלֵךְ, go.ra.Lekhgenerated

The noun גוֹרָל (goral) refers to a 'lot' or 'portion,' often symbolizing a destiny assigned by divine decree. It is derived from a root meaning 'to be rough,' which connects it to the physical stones used in casting lots for decision-making.

In this verse, it signifies the portion or fate that has been determined for the people by God, indicating that their choices have led to this appointed outcome.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the term lot for גוֹרָלֵךְ, aligning with the KJV and ASV.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb שָׁכַחַתְּ, you have forgotten, governs the main clause, while the rest of the sentence elaborates on the consequences of this action. The structure emphasizes the direct relationship between forgetting God and the resulting fate.

The sentence's arrangement places the subject זֶ֣ה (this) at the forefront, drawing immediate attention to the fate being declared, followed by the verbs that describe the people's actions.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates גוֹרָלֵךְ as σου (your), which maintains the possessive nature of the portion assigned to the people. This choice emphasizes the personal nature of the judgment.

The Greek rendering of שָׁכַחַתְּ as ἐπελάθου indicates a similar sense of forgetting, aligning with the Hebrew meaning while also reflecting the nuances of Greek expression.

(25) The portion of thy measures.—The meaning of the latter word is doubtful, but it is probably used, as in 1 Samuel 4:12; Leviticus 6:11; 2 Samuel 20:8; Rth 3:15, for the “upper garment” or “lap” of the dress. In this sense the phrase is connected with those which speak of reward or punishment being given men “into their bosom” (Jeremiah 32:18; Psalms 79:12; Proverbs 21:14). In falsehood.—Better, perhaps, in a lie, i.e., in the worship of false gods that were no gods.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
