Notes

Jeremiah 29:10

The exiled people of Judah would stay in Babylon for seventy years; this was not new information (see Jeremiah 25:11), but Jeremiah's audiences in Jerusalem had not believed him. Now that they were in exile, they needed to accept reality.

Jeremiah 29:1–23

Jeremiah sent a letter to the Hebrew exiles in Babylon. People read his letter many times in different settlements to reach all the scattered Israelites.
