Bits of Torah Truths – Paul Quotes Jeremiah and a Torah Perspective on the God of Israel – Episode 106
2 Corinthians 10:17
יז ״הַמִּתְהַלֵּל יִתְהַלֵּל בַּיהוה״; (ירמיהו ט׳ כב׳–כג׳)
2 Corinthians 10:17
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. (KJV)
Jeremiah 9:24
9:24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, That he understandeth and knoweth me, That I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: For in these things I delight, saith the LORD.(KJV)
Exodus 34:6-7
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, 7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. (KJV)
What we note here about 2 Corinthians 10:17 is how Paul quoted a Torah concept using Jeremiah 9:24. The specific text is when God speaks concerning Himself in Exodus 34:6-7 when He declares Himself to be merciful, gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth showing mercy to thousands. This is where Jeremiah had His source for the lovingkindness and righteousness of God. Note Paul’s use of the Torah demonstrates the Torah has not passed away!
