Ulangan 1:25

1:25 Then they took ¹  some of the produce of the land and carried it back down to us. They also brought a report to us, saying, “The land that the Lord our God is about to give us is good.”

Yeremia 2:7

2:7 I brought you ²  into a fertile land

so you could enjoy ³  its fruits and its rich bounty.

But when you entered my land, you defiled it; ⁴ 

you made the land I call my own ⁵  loathsome to me.

[1:25]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text includes “in their hand,” which is unnecessary and somewhat redundant in English style.

[2:7]  ² sn Note how contemporary Israel is again identified with her early ancestors. See the study note on 2:2.

[2:7]  ³ tn Heb “eat.”

[2:7]  ⁴ sn I.e., made it ceremonially unclean. See Lev 18:19-30; Num 35:34; Deut 21:23.

[2:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “my inheritance.” Or “the land [i.e., inheritance] I gave you,” reading the pronoun as indicating source rather than possession. The parallelism and the common use in Jeremiah of the term to refer to the land or people as the Lord’s (e.g., 12:7, 8, 9; 16:18; 50:11) make the possessive use more likely here.

[2:7]  sn The land belonged to the Lord; it was given to the Israelites in trust (or usufruct) as their heritage. See Lev 25:23.
