Jeremiah 31:6 Summary

[Jeremiah 31:6 is a call to God's people to return to Him and worship in Jerusalem, the city of God, as seen in Psalms 84:1-4. This verse is a reminder that God is always calling us to come closer to Him and to seek His presence in our lives.

By responding to this call, we can experience the joy and restoration that comes from being in a close relationship with God.]

Gill's Exposition on Jeremiah 31:6

For there shall be a day,.... The whole Gospel dispensation is "a day", made so by the bright rising of the sun of righteousness; here it seems to design some certain fixed period of time in that

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Jeremiah 31:6

For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. The watchmen ... shall cry.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:6

That Mount Ephraim was a part of the lot of the ten tribes is out of question. Whether by watchmen be to be understood state sentinels set to give warning of dangers approaching, or keepers of vineyards, seemeth not much material. It is said they should call upon men to go up to Zion, that is, to the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem, to worship the Lord. The only question is, what time tills prophecy was fulfilled. For though Judah returned from the captivity of Babylon, yet the ten tribes (that we read of) never returned. Some think that it was fulfilled in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah, when though the body of the ten tribes returned not, yet many particular persons of those tribes did return and join themselves with those who returned out of the captivity of Babylon, and rebuilt both the city and the temple. Besides, it appeareth from Josephus, 1.13. cap. 5.8, that the Demetrii gave Samaria, Galilee, and Perea to the Jews. But the best interpreters judge that this prophecy was fulfilled under the gospel; for both Galilee and Samaria received the gospel, as appeareth from ,5,9,14 9:31.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:6

Jeremiah 31:6 For there shall be a day, [that] the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God.Ver. 6. The watchmen upon the mount Ephraim.] Such as are set to keep those vineyards. Shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion.] As the ten tribes first made defection, so shall they be forwardest in the reformation. England was the like alate.

Ellicott's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:6

(6) The watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry . . .—The special fact is given as the ground of the previous prediction. The two kingdoms should be united, and therefore the possession of the vineyards should be undisturbed. The city of Samaria stood on one of the mountains of Ephraim. The “watchmen” may be either the sentinels stationed in the towers of the city, or, more probably, those that were on the look-out for the first appearance of the crescent moon as the signal for the observance either of the Passover or the new-moon festival. What follows is all but decisive in favour of the latter view. What is implied is that the rival worship in Bethel and in Dan, which had so long kept the ten tribes of Israel from the Temple at Jerusalem, should cease, and that from the mountains of Ephraim there should be heard the cry which, with a solitary exception in the reign of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 30:11; 2 Chronicles 30:18), had not been heard for centuries—“Let us go up to Zion.” The long schism which had caused the ruin of the nation would at last be healed. Unity of worship, at once the ground and symbol of national unity, should be restored.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:6

Verse 6. For there shall be a day] Literally, for this is the day, or the day is come. The watchmen-the prophets. Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion] Let both Israelites and Jews join together in the worship of the Lord.

Cambridge Bible on Jeremiah 31:6

6. watchmen] giving signals for the pilgrimage. let us go up to Zion] for the schism between the Northern and Southern tribes is at an end.

Barnes' Notes on Jeremiah 31:6

This verse anticipates a time when the schism caused by Jeroboam is over. Ephraimite watchmen equally with the tribe of Judah watch for the new moon that they may go up to Jerusalem to keep the appointed Feasts.

Whedon's Commentary on Jeremiah 31:6

6. Watchmen — That is, for the new moon, as marking the beginning of the religious festival. Mount Ephraim is mentioned as another representative section of the territory of the ten tribes. That the cry should be heard here.
