Jeremiah 33:18

The Pulpit Commentary on Jeremiah 33:18

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

Neither shall the priests the Levites, etc. It has Been thought that this passage is inconsistent with the prophecies of a time when the ark should no more be remembered (), and when all should know Jehovah from the least to the greatest ().

But though sin offerings would in this glorious time become things of the past, yet thank offerings are expressly excepted from abolition (), and in a special latter-day promise is given to the priests.

Moreover, Ezekiel, who repeats the prophecy of the new spiritual covenant (; ; ), gives an elaborate sketch of a new temple with a sacrificial system (; etc.

); and, if there is any inconsistency, we find the same one in the latter part of Isaiah. In the whole regenerate people of Israel is called "the priests of Jehovah;" but in the prophet distinctly states that there will be, in some sense, a priestly class within the chosen people.
