Jeremiáš 2:6

Český ekumenický překlad

Neptali se: »Kde je Hospodin, který nás vyvedl z egyptské země, který nás vodil pouští, zemí pustou, plnou výmolů, zemí vyprahlou, zemí šeré smrti, zemí, jíž nikdo neprocházel, v níž člověk nesídlí.«

Tak že ani neřekli: Kde jest Hospodin, kterýž nás vyvedl z země Egyptské, kterýž nás vodil po poušti, po zemi pusté a strašlivé, po zemi vyprahlé a stínu smrti, po zemi, skrze niž nechodil žádný, a kdež žádný člověk nebydlil?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Neither said they, where is the Lord?.... They did not ask after him, nor seek his face and favour, nor worship him, nor took any notice of the blessings he bestowed upon them:

that brought us up out of the land of Egypt? by means of Moses the deliverer, with a mighty hand, and outstretched arm; for, though Moses was the instrument, God was the efficient cause of the deliverance; the favour was his, and the glory of it ought to have been given to him:

that led us through the wilderness; of "Shur", or of "Sin", the desert of Arabia, Exodus 15:22 and a dreadful and terrible one it was:

through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death; where were scorpions, fiery serpents, drought, and no water, and so very dangerous as well as uncomfortable travelling; and yet through all this they were led, and wonderfully supplied and preserved;

through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt; there was no passenger in it, nor inhabitants on it, so that there were none to relieve them; whence it appears, that all their supply, support, and preservation, were from the Lord. The Jews y interpret this of the first man Adam, after this manner,

"all land, concerning which the first man decreed that it should be inhabited, it is inhabited; and all land, concerning which he did not decree it should be inhabited, it is not inhabited; and such they suggest was this wilderness;''

see Deuteronomy 8:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Modern researches have shown that this description applies only to limited portions of the route of the Israelites through the Sinaitic peninsula.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 2:6. Through the wilderness — Egypt was the house of their bondage: the desert through which they passed after they came out of Egypt, was a place where the means of life were not to be found; where no one family could subsist, much less a company of 600,000 men. God mentions these things to show that it was by the bounty of an especial providence that they were fed and preserved alive. Previously to this, it was a land through which no man passed, and in which no man dwelt. And why? because it did not produce the means of life; it was the shadow of death in its appearance, and the grave to those who committed themselves to it.
