Intertextuality Pair

Jeremiah 26:1-2 → Jeremiah 7:1-2

Allusion

Later text

Jeremiah 26:1-2BSB

At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD: "This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.

Earlier text

Jeremiah 7:1-2BSB

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, "Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.

Significance

Jeremiah 7:1-2 and 26:1-2 introduce the same temple sermon from complementary angles. Jeremiah 7:1 opens with "the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD" (הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר הָיָה אֶל־יִרְמְיָהוּ, haddavar asher hayah el-Yirmeyahu), 26:1 with the matching "this word came from the LORD," and both record the command to stand in the house of the LORD (its "courtyard" in 26:2, its "gate" in 7:2) and to "speak all the words I have commanded you to speak." The near-identical commissioning formula confirms these are two accounts of one event. Jeremiah 7 then records the sermon's theological content — warning against trusting in "the temple of the LORD" as a talisman (7:4) — while Jeremiah 26 records its political aftermath — the arrest, trial, and near-execution of the prophet. The dual framing reveals both the message and its cost.
