Jeremiah 34:8 - Exposition

A covenant. The scene of this "covenant" was the temple ( Jeremiah 34:15 , Jeremiah 34:18 ). Solemn agreements of this kind were not uncommon. To proclaim liberty unto them. The phrase, a very peculiar one, is taken from the law of jubilee (Le Jeremiah 25:10 ), though the prescription on which the covenant was based refers exclusively to the seventh year of the slave's servitude.
