The great thing is that we can be sure of being received back. Once again Jeremiah repeats that commitment of Yahweh that Israel will be a people for God and he’ll be God for all Israel’s families. The reference to families makes it more personal. The relationship with God doesn’t apply just to the nation as a whole, but neither does it just apply to individuals so that it can be something inside our heads. It applies to each extended family. Then he recalls the story that lies behind this commitment. Yahweh had ensured that they escaped Pharaoh’s sword, cared for them in the wilderness, appeared to them and gave them their rule of life. Ms. Israel was like Yahweh’s daughter, or as Jeremiah puts it later, Ephraim was like Yahweh’s firstborn son. How could he give up on this people? His relationship with his children isn’t only like a father’s. It’s like a mother’s, like Rachel’s own. “I have deep compassion for him,” Yahweh says, or “I have only compassion for him.” More literally, “With compassion I have compassion.” In speaking of compassion Yahweh uses the word for a mother’s womb. God has the feelings of a mother, Rachel-like feelings, for us.
