“ And when your land is once more filled with people,” says the Lord,“ you will no longer wish for‘ the good old days’ when you possessed the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant. You will not miss those days or even remember them, and there will be no need to rebuild the Ark.

耶和华说：‘你们在国中生养众多；当那些日子，人必不再提说耶和华的约柜，不追想，不记念，不觉缺少，也不再制造。

你们在国中生养众多的时候，那些日子，人必不再提说耶和华的约柜，不追想，不记念，不觉缺少，也不再制造。这是耶和华说的。

你们在国中生养众多的时候，那些日子，人必不再提说耶和华的约柜，不追想，不记念，不觉缺少，也不再制造。这是耶和华说的。

你们在地上繁衍昌盛的时候，人们不会再提及耶和华的约柜，不会再把它放在心上，不会再感到需要它，也不会再造一个。这是耶和华说的。

当那些日子，你们在这地繁衍增多的时候，人必不再提说耶和华的约柜，不把它放在心上，不思念它，不觉得缺少，也不再制造。’这是耶和华的宣告。

耶和華說：「你們在國中生養眾多；當那些日子，人必不再提說耶和華的約櫃，不追想，不記念，不覺缺少，也不再製造。

你們在國中生養眾多的時候，那些日子，人必不再提說耶和華的約櫃，不追想，不記念，不覺缺少，也不再製造。這是耶和華說的。

你們在地上繁衍昌盛的時候，人們不會再提及耶和華的約櫃，不會再把它放在心上，不會再感到需要它，也不會再造一個。這是耶和華說的。

當那些日子，你們在這地繁衍增多的時候，人必不再提說耶和華的約櫃，不把它放在心上，不思念它，不覺得缺少，也不再製造。’這是耶和華的宣告。

永恆主發神諭說：將來你們在此地增多繁殖起來、那些日子、人必不再提說『永恆主的約櫃』；約櫃必不再湧上人的心頭；人必不再想念它，不覺得失掉它，也不再製造它。

耶和華曰、其時爾昌熾繁衍於斯土、人不復言耶和華之約匱、不置於心、不記憶之、不詣其所、不製造之、

耶和華曰、當斯之時、爾既繁衍於茲土、則我之約匱、可置之弗道、勿復貴重、毋庸憶念、不詣其所、不製其式、如昔所為。

主曰、當斯之時、爾必昌熾蕃衍於斯地、人不復題主之約匱、不置於心、不再憶念、不赴其所、不復製造、

In those days, when your numbers have increased greatly in the land,” declares the Lord,“ people will no longer say,‘ The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It will never enter their minds or be remembered; it will not be missed, nor will another one be made.

In those days there will be many more of you in the land,” announces the Lord.“ Then people will not talk about the ark of the covenant of the Lord anymore. It will never enter their minds. They will not remember it. The ark will not be missed. And another one will not be made.

And when you have multiplied and been fruitful in the land, in those days, declares the Lord, they shall no more say,“ The ark of the covenant of the Lord.” It shall not come to mind or be remembered or missed; it shall not be made again.

When you multiply and increase in the land, in those days— this is the LORD’s declaration— no one will say again,“ The ark of the LORD’s covenant.” It will never come to mind, and no one will remember or miss it. Another one will not be made.

And it shall be in those days when you become numerous and are fruitful in the land,” declares the Lord,“ they will no longer say,‘ The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor miss it, nor will it be made again.

“ Then it shall come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land in those days,” says the Lord,“ that they will say no more,‘ The ark of the covenant of the Lord.’ It shall not come to mind, nor shall they remember it, nor shall they visit it, nor shall it be made anymore.

And it shall come to pass, when ye are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith Jehovah, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of Jehovah; neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they remember it; neither shall they miss it; neither shall it be made any more.

When you multiply and increase in the land, in those days”— the Lord’s declaration—“ no one will say any longer,‘ The ark of the Lord’s covenant.’ It will never come to mind, and no one will remember or miss it. It will never again be made.

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit[ it]; neither shall[ that] be done any more.

In those days, your population will greatly increase in the land. At that time,” says the LORD,“ people will no longer talk about having the ark that contains the LORD’s covenant with us. They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done any more!

It will come to pass, when you are multiplied and increased in the land, in those days,” says Yahweh,“ they will no longer say,‘ the ark of Yahweh’s covenant!’ It will not come to mind. They won’t remember it. They won’t miss it, nor will another be made.

And I will make a covenant of peace with them, an everlasting covenant. I will give them their land and increase their numbers, and I will put my Temple among them forever.

This is what the Lord says:“ Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Could you build me a temple as good as that? Could you build me such a resting place?My hands have made both heaven and earth; they and everything in them are mine. I, the Lord, have spoken!“ I will bless those who have humble and contrite hearts, who tremble at my word.

“ Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will even think about the old ones anymore.

They will rebuild the ancient ruins, repairing cities destroyed long ago. They will revive them, though they have been deserted for many generations.

For I will bring them from the north and from the distant corners of the earth. I will not forget the blind and lame, the expectant mothers and women in labor. A great company will return!

And so, dear brothers and sisters, we can boldly enter heaven’s Most Holy Place because of the blood of Jesus.By his death, Jesus opened a new and life giving way through the curtain into the Most Holy Place.And since we have a great High Priest who rules over God’s house,

The smallest family will become a thousand people, and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation. At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

“ But the mountains of Israel will produce heavy crops of fruit for my people— for they will be coming home again soon!See, I care about you, and I will pay attention to you. Your ground will be plowed and your crops planted.I will greatly increase the population of Israel, and the ruined cities will be rebuilt and filled with people.I will increase not only the people, but also your animals. O mountains of Israel, I will bring people to live on you once again. I will make you even more prosperous than you were before. Then you will know that I am the Lord.I will cause my people to walk on you once again, and you will be their territory. You will never again rob them of their children.

Don’t just say to each other,‘ We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.

There will be joy and songs of thanksgiving, and I will multiply my people, not diminish them; I will honor them, not despise them.

The people of Israel will become like mighty warriors, and their hearts will be made happy as if by wine. Their children, too, will see it and be glad; their hearts will rejoice in the Lord.When I whistle to them, they will come running, for I have redeemed them. From the few who are left, they will grow as numerous as they were before.Though I have scattered them like seeds among the nations, they will still remember me in distant lands. They and their children will survive and return again to Israel.

“ Yet the time will come when Israel’s people will be like the sands of the seashore— too many to count! Then, at the place where they were told,‘ You are not my people,’ it will be said,‘ You are children of the living God.’Then the people of Judah and Israel will unite together. They will choose one leader for themselves, and they will return from exile together. What a day that will be— the day of Jezreel— when God will again plant his people in his land.

“ This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: Once again old men and women will walk Jerusalem’s streets with their canes and will sit together in the city squares.And the streets of the city will be filled with boys and girls at play.

I will bring my exiled people of Israel back from distant lands, and they will rebuild their ruined cities and live in them again. They will plant vineyards and gardens; they will eat their crops and drink their wine.I will firmly plant them there in their own land. They will never again be uprooted from the land I have given them,” says the Lord your God.

On that day you will no longer need to be ashamed, for you will no longer be rebels against me. I will remove all proud and arrogant people from among you. There will be no more haughtiness on my holy mountain.

So tell me, why is it that you Jews insist that Jerusalem is the only place of worship, while we Samaritans claim it is here at Mount Gerizim, where our ancestors worshiped?”Jesus replied,“ Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews.But the time is coming— indeed it’s here now— when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”

“ The day is coming,” says the Lord,“ when I will greatly increase the human population and the number of animals here in Israel and Judah.

First, Christ said,“ You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them”( though they are required by the law of Moses).Then he said,“ Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect.

Josiah was the father of Jehoiachin and his brothers( born at the time of the exile to Babylon).

But don’t be fooled by those who promise you safety simply because the Lord’s Temple is here. They chant,“ The Lord’s Temple is here! The Lord’s Temple is here!”

This is an illustration pointing to the present time. For the gifts and sacrifices that the priests offer are not able to cleanse the consciences of the people who bring them.For that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies— physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established.So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that greater, more perfect Tabernacle in heaven, which was not made by human hands and is not part of this created world.With his own blood— not the blood of goats and calves— he entered the Most Holy Place once for all time and secured our redemption forever.

“ For I will give the command and will shake Israel along with the other nations as grain is shaken in a sieve, yet not one true kernel will be lost.
