The reference to the LORD our righteousness has afeminine pronoun here. Yet in Jeremiah 23:5 it has a masculine pronoun. Why? | ||||||

Greetings Rich! Here is what the 'Bible Knowledge Commentary' says about Jer. 33:16: ************************************* The second aspect of this fulfillment will be the restoration of Jerusalem as God’s dwelling place. The city that was about to be destroyed by Babylon (Jer. 33:4-5) will someday live in safety. Though this verse is also found in 23:6, Jeremiah made a significant change in this passage to give it a new meaning. In 23:6 Jeremiah pictured the safety of Israel and Judah through the ministry of the Messiah who was called ”The Lord Our Righteousness.“ However, by changing ”Israel“ to ”Jerusalem“ and by changing the preposition ”he“ to ”it“ (ÂŒÑú, lit., ”to her“) Jeremiah made the title, The Lord Our Righteousness apply to the city of Jerusalem instead of to the Messiah. The city will take on the same characteristics as the Lord who will dwell within her (cf. Ezek. 48:35). ************************************ So, the 'her' in Jer. 33:16 refers to the city. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, Thank you for your answer. It is just that I have been dealing with an apologetic group and the question was raised 'could Jeremiah 23 be referring to Israel?' (since Jeremiah 33 is referring to Jerusalem.) Your Brother in Christ, Rich Wharton It gets a bit confusing trying to explain this to those who say that Jeremiah 23 is referring possibly to Israel and not the Messiah. |
