God will punish the people for their idol worship and the punishment will cause them to believe in him.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why does Jeremiah use this language? Why the repeated use of the Hebrew word for \u201cknow\u201d? Why the reference to God\u2019s strength as the hand, \u201c<em>yad<\/em>,\u201d of God?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The answer comes earlier in the chapter, in Jeremiah 16:14, God promises that a day will come that the Exodus from Egypt will no longer be at the forefront of people\u2019s minds. Instead the return of the exiles to the land will replace this festive moment in Jewish history. With this context in mind we can return to the last verse and notice a striking parallel to the warning God gives to Moses in Exodus 7:5. Here Moses is told to go to Egypt to perform the plagues and wonders. God tells Moses he will harden Pharaoh\u2018s heart. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the Egyptians shall know (<em>yad\u2019u<\/em>) that I am God, when I stretch my hand (<em>yadi<\/em>) upon Egypt, and bring Israel out from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeremiah takes this verse and flips it around. This time, instead of the Egyptians being punished by the hand of God it will be Israel. Only in this way shall they realize the name of God. But, this phrase also brings an element of hope and redemption. Jeremiah hopes that this will ultimately end in a positive way as the Israelites who left Egypt also saw the hand of God and feared God and believed in God (see Exodus 14:31).<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":70173,"id":70173,"title":"jer16-classroom","filename":"jer16-classroom.png","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/jer16-classroom.png","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/to-teach-israel-so-that-they-know\/jer16-classroom\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"jer16-classroom","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":70172,"date":"2020-02-13
