Footnotes

  1. 1 The words “pleading for” have been supplied in the translation to explain the idiom (a metonymy). For parallel usage see 763 עָמַד Qal.1.a and compare usage in Gen 19:27, Deut 4:10. Moses and Samuel were well-known for their successful intercession on behalf of Israel. See Ps 99:6–8 and see, e.g., Exod 32:11–14, 30–34; 1 Sam 7:5–9. The Lord is here rejecting Jeremiah’s intercession on behalf of the people (14:19–22).
  2. 2 Heb “my soul would not be toward them.” For the usage of “soul” presupposed here see 660 נֶפֶשׁ 6 in the light of the complaints and petitions in Jeremiah’s prayer in 14:19, 21.
  3. 3 Heb “Send them away from my presence and let them go away.”
