The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 31:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The mountains of Samaria. "Samaria" is used, equally with Ephraim, for the northern kingdom. Shall eat them as common things; rather, shall enjoy the fruit. The word, however, literally means shall profane them.

The more common phrase, "shall eat the fruit," occurs in Isaiah 65:21, where the same promise is given. The law was that newly planted fruit trees should be left alone for three years; that in the fourth year their fruit should be consecrated to God; and that in the fifth year their fruit might be "profaned," i.

e. devoted to ordinary uses (comp. Deuteronomy 20:6; Deuteronomy 28:30).
