Jeremiah 31:24 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and they that go forth with flocks.

In Judah itself, and in all the cities ... farmers, and they ... with flocks - two classes, citizens and countrymen, the latter divided into agriculturists and shepherds, all alike in security, though the latter were to be outside the protection of city walls. "Judah" here stands for the country, as distinguished from its cities.
