At the beginning of this chapter, God instructed Jeremiah as follows: \u201cWrite down in a scroll all the words that I have spoken to you\u201d (2). This instruction led several of the exegetes to consider the relationship between prophecies delivered orally and those that were only recorded in writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Radak wrote that \u201cHe told him to write them in a book because they were matters that would occur [only] in the future, at the end of days.\u201d His opinion was shared by Shadal and Malbim; however, Shadal* expanded on the subject in his commentary to Isaiah 13:1:<\/span><\/p>\n

Foresaw (<\/span>chazah<\/span><\/i>): This means insight into the future rather than a speech to the people because there is nothing here that pertains to Isaiah\u2019s contemporaries. This and all prophecies for the distant future were not spoken by the prophet to the people because they would not have understood them and they were not pertinent to them, but they were written down for future generations\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

This explains why the language of this prophecy and that of Chapter 40, etc., is easier [to understand] that that of Isaiah\u2019s earlier prophecies, because he would address pertinent matters to his audience where he could be opaque because they would understand him all the same either because he spoke of things with which they were acquainted, or because his inflections or body language would clarify his words, unlike his written prophecies that were intended for generations yet unborn.<\/span><\/p>\n

*For an explanation of our objectives in studying Shadal\u2019s commentary, <\/span>see our introduction<\/span><\/a> in Jeremiah chapter 1.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":71189,"id":71189,"title":"jer30-scroll","filename":"jer30-scroll.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/jer30-scroll.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/oral-vs-written-prophecies\/jer30-scroll\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"jer30-scroll","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":71188,"date":"2020-03-04
