Jeremiah 15:1

“Then said the Lord unto me, etc.] In answer to his expostulations and entreaties, (<241419>Jeremiah 14:19-22), though Moses and Samuel stood before me; to pray before me, as the Targum; to make intercession for the people. Standing is a prayer gesture. The Jews say there is no standing but prayer, or that is meant when it is mentioned; (see Gill on “<400605>Matthew 6:5”). Moses and Samuel were named, because they were eminent for prayer, and had success in it, for the people of Israel. Of Moses, (see <023211>Exodus 32:11,31,32 <041417>Numbers 14:17-19) and of Samuel, (see <090709>1 Samuel 7:9) and of both, (<199906>Psalm 99:6). The Arabic version reads “Moses and Aaron”, but wrongly. The…”

“GOD'S REPLY TO JEREMIAH'S INTERCESSORY PRAYER. (Jer. 15:1-21) Moses . . . Samuel--eminent in intercessions (Exo 32:11-12; Sa1 7:9; Psa 99:6). be toward--could not be favorably inclined toward them. out of my sight--God speaks as if the people were present before Him, along with Jeremiah.”

“Cast them out of my sight - Rather, “send them out of My presence, and let them go away.” The prophet is to dismiss them, because their mediators, Moses and Samuel, whose intercession had been accepted in old times (marginal references), would intercede now in vain. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Cast them out - I am not able to abide the sight of them, therefore let them go forth. Jeremiah 15:4”

“15:1-9 The Lord’s reply to Jeremiah’s prayer (14:19-22) was that Judah’s destruction was inevitable. 15:1 Moses and Samuel were noted for their intercessory prayer. Several times, when they prayed for the rebellious Israelites, the Lord withdrew his threatened punishment (see Exod 32:11-14; Num 14:13-20; 1 Sam 7:8-10). But now, even their intervention would have been ineffective.”

“Though: Jer 7:16, Jer 11:14, Jer 14:11; Eze 14:14, Eze 14:21 Moses: Exo 32:11-14; Num 14:13-20; Sa1 7:9, Sa1 12:23; Psa 99:6 stood: Jer 18:20; Gen 19:27; Psa 106:23; Zac 3:3; Heb 9:24 my mind: Jdg 5:9; Pro 14:35 cast: Jer 7:15, Jer 23:39, Jer 52:3; Kg2 17:20 Jeremiah 15:2”

“"And Jahveh said unto me: If Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet would not my soul incline to this people. Drive them from my face, that they go forth. Jer 15:2. And if they say to thee: Whither shall we go forth? then say to them: Thus hath Jahveh said - Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. Jer 15:3. And I appoint over them four kinds, saith Jahveh: the sword to slay and the dogs to tear, the fowls of the heaven and the cattle of the earth, to devour and destroy. Jer 15:4. And I give them up to be abused to all kingdoms of the earth, for Manasseh's…”
