Witnesses - He made this purchase with all the usual formalities; he signed and sealed it before witnesses, and delivered it to Baruch to keep, in the presence of all the Jews. \nJeremiah 32:20\n \njer 32:20\nWho hast set signs - Who didst wonders of justice in the land of Egypt, such as are remembered even to this day. \nJeremiah 32:24\n \njer 32:24\nThe mounts - Rather engines of war with which those nations used to batter walls, or to shoot great stones into places besieged. \nJeremiah 32:34\n \njer 32:34\nHave set - Their idols. \nJeremiah 32:39\n \njer 32:39\nOne heart - I will give them union and concord, one mind and judgment. One way - They shall all worship me according, to the rule I have given them. \nJeremiah 32:40\n \njer 32:40\nI will make - This promise manifestly relates to those Jews that should receive the Lord Jesus Christ, unless it be to be understood of a national conversion of the Jews, not yet effected.","title":"Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible: Jeremiah: Jeremiah Chapter 32","type":"page"}
