Jeremiah 34:10 recounts a moment when the leaders of Israel made a covenant to free their servants, reflecting a commitment to justice and mercy. This act was significant in the context of Israel's history, as it demonstrated an adherence to God's laws regarding servitude and freedom. However, as the following verses reveal, this commitment was not sustained, highlighting the challenges faced in maintaining such promises.

The Key Word — שָׁמַע, vai.yish.me.'Ugenerated
The Hebrew word שָׁמַע (shama`) means 'to hear' and encompasses a range of meanings, including listening, obeying, and proclaiming. It is built from a primitive root and often implies attention and obedience, particularly in contexts where God speaks to His people.
In this verse, the parsing indicates a sequential imperfect verb form, showing that the officials and the people actively listened and then took action in response to their agreement. This highlights the importance of not just hearing but also responding to what is heard.
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 finite verb יִּשְׁמְעוּ governs the verse, with a series of noun phrases and clauses hanging off it. The main action is that the officials and the people heard and acted upon their agreement, which is structured to show their collective responsibility.
The Hebrew word order places the subject before the verb, emphasizing the leaders and the people as the primary actors in this covenant. The structure indicates a clear sequence of agreement followed by action.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שָׁמַע as ἐπεστράφησαν, which suggests a turning towards or a response to a call. This choice indicates an interpretation that emphasizes not just hearing but also a movement towards action.
This rendering shows a slight widening of the Hebrew meaning, focusing on the response aspect of listening, which is significant in the context of the covenant made.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Jeremiah 34:10 tells us that the officials and all the people agreed to free their male and female servants and not hold them in bondage anymore. They listened to their promise and let them go.

pe'-p'-l: In English Versions of the Bible represents something over a dozen Hebrew and Greek words. Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question. So, for instance, in Ps…

Covenant
A contract or agreement between two parties. In the Old Testament the Hebrew word berith is always thus translated. Berith is derived from a root which means “to cut,” and hence a covenant is a “cutting,” with reference to the cutting or dividing of animals into two parts, and the contracting parties passing between them, in making a covenant (Gen. 15; Jer. 34:18, 19).
The corresponding word in the New Testament Greek is diatheke, which is, however, rendered “testament” generally in the Authorized Version. It ought to be rendered, just as the word berith of the Old Testament, “covenant.”
This word is used (1) of a covenant or compact between man and man (Gen. 21:32), or between tribes or nations (1 Sam.…
The Heb. berith means primarily "a cutting," with reference to the custom of cutting or dividing animals in two and passing between the parts in ratifying a covenant. (Genesis 15; Jeremiah 34:18,19) In the New Testament the corresponding word is diathece (diatheke), which is frequently translated testament in the Authorized Version. In its biblical meaning two parties the word is used-- Of a covenant between God and man; e.g. God covenanted with Noah, after the flood, that a like judgment should not be repeated. It is not precisely like a covenant between men, but was a promise or agreement by God. The principal covenants are the covenant of works --God promising to save and bless men on condition of perfect obedience --and the covenant of grace , or God’s promise to save men on condition of their believing in Christ and receiving…
The word testamentum is often used in Latin to express the Hebrew word which signifies covenant; whence the titles, Old and New Testaments, are used to denote the old and new covenants. See TESTAMENT.
A covenant is properly an agreement between two parties. Where one of the parties is infinitely superior to the other, as in a covenant between God and man, there God’s covenant assumes the nature of a promise, Isa 59:21 Jer 31:33,34 Ga 3:15-18. The first covenant with the Hebrews was made when the Lord chose Abraham and his posterity for his people; a second covenant, or a solemn renewal of the former, was made at Sinai, comprehending all who observe the law of Moses. The "new covenant" of which Christ is the Mediator and…

a-gen': Advb. denoting repetition; in New Testament, generally for palin, "back," "once more." Occasionally, it has the force of a connective, synonymous with "moreover," as in Ro 15:10 ff; 1Co 3:20, etc. The expression "born again" of the King James Version, Joh 3:3,7; 1Pe 1:23, translating the Greek "anothen" and "ana" in composition, becomes in the Revised Version (British and American) "anew," i.e. "over again." As these particles mean "from above" and "up," their use as indicating repetition is sometimes disputed, but without further foundation than that "again" does not exhaust the meaning.

1. In the Old Testament:
In the Old Testament halakh and yalakh are among the commonest words, meaning "to go" in its original sense of "to walk," but also in the most varied senses, according to the verbal conjugations, etc., the preposition attached, and the words in connection with which the terms stand; halakh and yalakh are often used figuratively (translated "to walk," etc.) for to live, to pursue a way of life, e.g. "to walk ever in his ways" (De 19:9; compare
