Context — The Consequences of Disobediencegenerated

12And you have done more evil than your fathers. See how each of you follows the stubbornness of his evil heart instead of obeying Me.
13So I will cast you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your fathers have known. There you will serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.’
14Yet behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when they will no longer say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of Egypt.’
15Instead they will say, ‘As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and all the other lands to which He had banished them.’ For I will return them to their land that I gave to their forefathers.

Jeremiah 16:13 warns the Israelites of the dire consequences of their persistent disobedience to God. They will be cast out of their land into an unknown territory, where they will serve foreign gods day and night, indicating a complete separation from God's favor. This passage reflects the broader themes of judgment and exile found throughout the book of Jeremiah, as seen in Jeremiah 6:15 and Jeremiah 15:4-14.

The Key Word חֲנִינָה, cha.ni.Nahgenerated

The word חֲנִינָה (chaniynah) is a feminine noun meaning 'favor' or 'graciousness.' It conveys the idea of showing kindness or compassion, often in the context of divine mercy. In this verse, it indicates that God will not show favor to the Israelites as a consequence of their actions.

This word emphasizes the severity of their situation: without God's favor, they face abandonment and a life of servitude to foreign gods, illustrating the relationship between divine favor and obedience.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

All translations agree on the meaning of חֲנִינָה as 'favor' or 'mercy.' The BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE all convey the same essential meaning in this context.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb הֵטַלְתִּי (he'talti), meaning 'I will throw out,' governs the entire verse, indicating a decisive action by God. The structure includes a series of prepositional phrases and noun phrases that detail the consequences of this action.

The arrangement emphasizes the expulsion and the subsequent servitude, with the adverbial phrases 'day and night' underscoring the continuous nature of their service to foreign gods.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates הֵטַלְתִּי as ἀπορρίψω (aporrhipso), meaning 'I will cast away.' This choice reflects a strong sense of rejection and abandonment, aligning with the original Hebrew's intent to convey God's decisive action against His people.

The Greek term used in the Septuagint carries a similar weight, emphasizing the seriousness of the judgment and the resulting separation from God.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Jeremiah 16:13 tells us that God will cast the people out of their land into a foreign land they do not know. There, they will serve other gods day and night, and God will not show them any favor. This verse highlights the consequences of turning away from God and the importance of obedience.


Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

What does it mean to serve other gods?

Serving other gods refers to the act of worshiping or obeying deities that are not the God of Israel, which signifies a break in the covenant relationship with the one true God.

Why will God not show favor?

God's lack of favor is a direct consequence of the people's disobedience and rejection of His commands, leading to judgment and exile.

What does the phrase 'day and night' imply?

The phrase 'day and night' indicates that their servitude to foreign gods will be continuous and unending, emphasizing the severity of their punishment.

How does this verse relate to the theme of exile in Jeremiah?

This verse is a clear warning of the impending exile that the Israelites will face as a result of their unfaithfulness, a recurring theme throughout the book of Jeremiah.


Reflection Questionsgenerated

  1. In what ways can I identify and address areas of disobedience in my life?
  2. How can understanding God's favor influence my relationship with Him?
  3. What steps can I take to ensure I remain faithful to God and avoid serving other 'gods' in my life?
  4. How does the concept of exile apply to spiritual separation from God today?

On

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

da (yom; hemera): This common word has caused some trouble to plain readers, because they have not noticed that the word is used in several different senses in the English Bible. When the different uses of the word are understood the difficulty of interpretation vanishes. We note several different uses of the word:

(1) It sometimes means the time from daylight till dark. This popular meaning is easily discovered by the context, e. g. Ge 1:5; 8:22, etc. The marked periods of this daytime were morning, noon and night, as with us. See Ps 55:17. The early hours were sometimes called "the cool of the day" (Ge 3:8). After the exile the day. or daytime was divided into twelve hours and the night into twelve (see

Day

The Jews reckoned the day from sunset to sunset (Lev. 23:32). It was originally divided into three parts (Ps. 55:17). “The heat of the day” (1 Sam. 11:11; Neh. 7:3) was at our nine o’clock, and “the cool of the day” just before sunset (Gen. 3:8). Before the Captivity the Jews divided the night into three watches, (1) from sunset to midnight (Lam. 2:19); (2) from midnight till the cock-crowing (Judg. 7:19); and (3) from the cock-crowing till sunrise (Ex.…

The variable length of the natural day at different seasons led in the very earliest times to the adoption of the civil day (or one revolution of the sun) as a standard of time. The Hebrews reckoned the day from evening to evening, (Leviticus 23:32) deriving it from (Genesis 1:5) "the evening and the morning were the first day." The Jews are supposed, like the modern Arabs, to have adopted from an early period minute specifications of the parts of the natural day. Roughly, indeed, they were content to divide it into "morning, evening and noonday," (Psalms 55:17) but when they wished for greater accuracy they pointed to six unequal parts, each of which was again subdivided. These are held to have been -- "the dawn." "Sunrise."…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The day is distinguished into natural, civil, and artificial. The natural day is one revolution of the earth on its axis. The civil day is that, the beginning and the end of which are determined by the custom of any nation. The Hebrews began their day in the evening, Le 23:32; the Babylonians at sunrise; and we begin at midnight. The artificial day is the time of the sun’s continuance above the horizon, which is unequal according to different seasons, on account of the obliquity of the equator. The sacred writers generally divide the day into twelve hours. The sixth hour always ends at noon throughout the year; and the twelfth hour is the last hour before sunset. But in summer, all the hours of the day were longer than in winter, while those of night were shorter. See HOURS, and THREE.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

[DAY]

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The ancient Hebrews began their artificial day at evening, and ended it the next evening, so that the night proceeded the day. This usage may probably be traced to the terms employed in describing the creation, Ge 1:5,8,13, etc., "The evening and the morning were the first day." The Hebrews allowed twelve to the day; but these hours were not equal, except at the equinox. At other times, when the hours of the night were long, those of the day were short, as in winter; and when the hours of night were short, as at midsummer, the hours of the day were long in proportion. See HOURS.

The nights are sometimes extremely cold in Syria, when the days are very hot; and travelers in the deserts and among the mountains near Palestine refer to their own sufferings from these opposite extremes, in illustration of Jacob’s words in
