Jeremiah 50:5 - Exposition

Thitherward ; rather, hitherward: The prophet is evidently writing from Jerusalem (comp. Jeremiah 51:50 ). Let us join ourselves. A conjectural emendation ( nilveh for nilvu, a difficult reading, meaning, perhaps, "join yourselves"). A perpetual covenant. The same phrase occurs in Jeremiah 32:40 . The addition, "that shall not be forgotten," reminds us of "the ark of the covenant," which was "not to be remembered" ( Jeremiah 3:16 ).
