Study note
Setting — The LORD delivers a message to Jeremiah, who is positioned to address the people of Judah as they enter the temple gates.
The words — דָּבָר (da.Var) = word, and הָיָה (ha.Yah) = it came. Together they form the literal phrase "the word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,".
The thread — The verse introduces a prophetic commission that flows directly into the command to stand at the temple gate and proclaim to Judah (Jeremiah 7:2). The transmission of divine speech for public declaration binds this opening to its immediate context.
Why it lands — It requires the reader to treat the following proclamation as divinely authorized and to listen for the specific charges that follow.
