  1. The shrines (<\/span>bamot<\/span><\/em>)<\/em>. The cultic sins which run deep in Judah are the shrines and the altars: \u201cyour sins throughout your territory\u201d (verse 13). But are we talking here about total idolatry, or actually the service of God, just outside the Temple in Jerusalem. Jeremiah doesn\u2019t specify. Josiah\u2019s reform (622 BCE, 2 Kings 23), sought to purify the worship in Judah on both those grounds.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Regards from Psalms<\/em>. The hymn-like sections that appear in this chapter are reminiscent of psalms. But they are not from the book, they express the theological and existential grappling of Jeremiah and the people.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Good shabbes<\/em>! The Shabbat, and in particular its observance in the public sphere, is a condition for the peace of Jerusalem. We will hear more about the importance of Shabbat in another 55 chapters in Ezekiel (ch 20), and in the period of the return to Zion, Nehemiah too will work energetically to increase Shabbat observance (Nehemiah, chapters 10, 13).<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. A dignified existence.<\/em> This is what a dignified existence looks like to Jerusalem: \u201cThrough the gates of this city shall enter kings who sit upon the throne of David, with their officers \u2014riding on chariots and horses\u2026 And people shall come from the towns of Judah and from the environs of Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the Shephelah, and from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, meal offerings and frankincense, and bringing offerings of thanksgiving to the House of the LORD\u201d (verses 25-26). A Davidic king, wealth and security (horses and chariots), and a Temple as a national center.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
