Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 24

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Jeremiah 24 represents the prophet’s words following what destructive act involving both the royal family and the populace?
  2. Does the symbol of dates, one good and the other spoiled, call to mind any other dream of a similar nature in Biblical text?
  3. Does the vision (Jeremiah 24:6) portend “good things” for those who have been exiled?
  4. In Jeremiah 24:7, what is the name of Divinity and how does it reflect the first encounter between God and Mosheh?
  5. And, as to those who were not exiled but remained in the land (Jeremiah 24:8), to what are they compared and what will be their lot?
  6. Why would the prophet be more favorably inclined to those who have gone into exile rather than to those who have remained on the land?
