Study note

Jeremiah 17:26

  • If the people repented, the Lord’s blessings would reach the towns of Judah and Benjamin.

  • The western foothills extended north and south between the coastal plain of the Mediterranean Sea and the hill country, where Jerusalem was located.

  • The Negev was the desert that extended from Beersheba southward to the Gulf of Aqaba. People from all these areas would bring their offerings to worship the Lord in his Temple.
