Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 30

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Why is Jeremiah to record in written mode that “which God has spoken to him”?
  2. Where else do the words “Ve’ayleh hadevarim” appear in the Tanakh?
  3. In Jeremiah 30:5-11, what final outcome is posited for B’nai Yisrael?
  4. But (Jeremiah 30:12-15) is there any point in the current complaining and planning?
  5. What will yield and bring redemption and good times — political planning or reliance on Divine action when warranted by mitzvah living?
  6. In Jeremiah 30:22, is “Eheyeh” a verb or a proper name (vide: Moses and the Burning Bush vignette)?
  7. But in Jeremiah 30:23-25, what is the time element governing the coming of good times?
  8. Can the Divine intent be “rapidized”?
