Jeremiah 31:5 Summary

As we trust in God's promises, we can experience the joy and freedom of living in His presence, just like the people of Israel in Jeremiah 31:5. By putting our faith in God, we can cultivate a heart of obedience and trust, and trust Him to bring about a harvest of righteousness and joy in our lives (Galatians 6:7-10).]

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 31:5

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria,.... Mountains are proper places for vines, and which generally produce the best wine; but vines are not to be understood merely literally, or

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 31:5

Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:5

Samaria was the metropolis of the ten tribes, called so from Shemer, who owned the hill: Omri king of Israel bought it, and built Samaria upon it. Mountains in many places are judged the most convenient places for vineyards, being free from shades, and most exposed to the sun. God promiseth them a liberty to plant, and that they should enjoy their plantations, eating them as common things, which they could not do till the fifth year, as appears from . The three first years it was to be accounted by them as uncircumcised, that is, unclean; in the fourth year it was to be holy to the Lord; in the fifth year they might eat the fruit of it, as any common thing that was not unclean, nor yet devoted and consecrated to the Lord.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:5

Jeremiah 31:5 Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat [them] as common things.Ver. 5. Thou shalt yet plant vines.] Profunda pax erit: nemo te perterrefaciet. Thou shalt have plenty, peace, and security. The planters shall plant them, and shall eat them as common things,] i.e., Shall have God’ s good leave and liking so to do. Heb., Shall profane them, i.e., not abuse them, but use them freely, even to an honest affluence. See Leviticus 19:23.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:5

(5) Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria . . .—The mention of Samaria shows that the prophet is thinking of the restoration of the northern kingdom, as well as of Judah, under the rule of the true King. In the Hebrew words “shall eat them as common things” we have a singular train of associations. The primary meaning of the verb is to “profane.” The rule of Lev 19:23-24, based partly, perhaps, on grounds of culture, partly with a symbolic meaning, required that a vineyard for three years after it was planted should be treated as “uncircumcised” (i.e., that no use should be made of the fruit), in the fourth year the fruit was to “be holy to praise the Lord with,” and in the fifth the planter might take the fruit for himself. So accordingly in Deuteronomy 20:6 we have, as one of the laws affecting war, that if a man had planted a vineyard and had not made it common—the same word as that used here—i.e., had not got beyond the fixed period of consecration, he might be exempted from military service, lest he should die and another eat of it. Compare also Deuteronomy 28:30, where the English “gather” answers, as the marginal reading shows, to the same verb. What is meant here, therefore, is, in contrast with the chances and changes of a time of war, that the planters of the vineyard should not be disturbed in their possession of it. They should not plant, and another eat thereof. (Comp. Isaiah 65:22; Deuteronomy 28:30.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:5

Verse 5. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria] This was the regal city of the Israelites, as Jerusalem was of the Jews. Shall eat them as common things.] By the law of Moses no man was permitted to eat of the fruit of his vineyard till the fifth year after planting. For the first three years it was considered uncircumcised, unclean, not fit to be eaten; in the fourth year it was holy to the Lord, the fruit belonged to Him; in the fifth year he might use it for himself, Leviticus 19:23-25. But in the time here mentioned the fruit should be considered common-lawful at all times to be eaten.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 31:5

5. shalt thou plant vineyards, etc.] As for several years these would yield no fruit of value, the words imply a return of settled prosperity. Samaria] A post-exilic writer would not have mentioned Jerusalem’s rival in such a connexion. shall enjoy] mg. Heb. profane, or, make common. The fruit borne by a tree for the first three years was not to be gathered, that of the fourth year was to be consecrated to God, while that of the fifth year the owner might eat. See Leviticus 19:23-25; Deuteronomy 20:6; Deuteronomy 28:30. The word which in Deut. (“used,” “use”) expresses the handing over of the fruit to the owner’s use is that here rendered “enjoy.”

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 31:5

Shall eat them as common things - Rather, shall eat the fruit. Literally, as in the margin.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:5

5. Mountains of Samaria — Mentioned as the capital and sanctuary of the ten tribes.
