After

When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of forty days,

to fulfill the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed its sabbaths. All the days of its desolation it kept sabbath

until seventy years were complete.

The number

“For forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.

When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each year.

“Seventy

weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”

Shall ye bear

Only the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

You shall also not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister or of your father’s sister, for such a one has made naked his blood relative; they will bear their guilt.

For my iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

They will bear the punishment of their iniquity; as the iniquity of the inquirer is, so the iniquity of the prophet will be,

Ye shall

“Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised; not one word has failed of all His good promise, which He promised through Moses His servant.

Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His

promise come to an end forever?

For He remembered His holy word
With Abraham His servant;

Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it;

For the Lord will not reject forever,

Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

Breach of promise

The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

Therefore the Lord God of Israel declares, ‘I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever’; but now the Lord declares, ‘Far be it from Me—for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed.

I took my staff

Favor and cut it in pieces, to

break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
