Context — A Promise of Restorationgenerated

13You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
14I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
15Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
16this is what the LORD says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—

Jeremiah 29:14 is part of a letter from the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylon, assuring them of God's presence and future restoration. It emphasizes God's commitment to His covenant people, even in times of displacement and hardship. The surrounding verses (Jeremiah 29:13-16) highlight the necessity of seeking God with all one's heart and the assurance that He will respond.

The Key Word נְאֻם, ne.'um-generated

The word נְאֻם (ne'um) translates as 'utterance' or 'oracle,' indicating a formal declaration from God. It is often used in prophetic contexts to convey divine messages, emphasizing the authority and weight of the words spoken.

This noun is in the construct state, linking it directly to the name of God, יְהוָה (Yahweh), reinforcing the significance of the message as coming from the covenantal God of Israel.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb וְנִמְצֵ֣אתִי (ve.nim.Tze.ti), 'and I will be found', governs the sentence, with several clauses and phrases providing additional information about God's promises. The structure emphasizes the sequential actions of finding, restoring, and gathering.

The syntax indicates a progression: God first declares His intention to be found, then promises restoration from captivity, and finally outlines the gathering of His people from various nations and places.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וְנִמְצֵ֣אתִי as ἐπιφανοῦμαι (epiphanoumai), meaning 'I will be revealed'. This choice suggests a broader interpretation of God's presence, indicating not just being found but also made manifest to His people.

This reflects a nuanced understanding of divine revelation, where God's presence is not only accessible but also actively shown to those who seek Him.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

It is expressed in this nation to correspond with the term seeking, by which prayer is expressed, and to let us know that those that will have God’ s favour must find it; which implieth a seeking and inquiry after it.

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.

OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]

1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

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.'

(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.
