Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I brought you into a plentiful country,.... "Into the land of Carmel", as in the Hebrew text; that is,
"into the land of Israel, which was planted as Carmel,''
as the Targum paraphrases it; with wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olives; a land flowing with milk and honey, Deuteronomy 8:8, so Ben Melech:
to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; of vineyards and oliveyards, which they had not planted, and for which they had never laboured, Joshua 24:13:
but when ye entered ye defiled my land; which the Lord had chosen above all lands, where he would have a temple built for his worship, and where he would cause his Shechinah or glorious Majesty to dwell; but this they defiled by their sins and transgressions, and particularly by their idolatry, as follows:
that made mine heritage an abomination; by devoting it to the worship of idols, as the Targum paraphrases it.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A plentiful country - literally, âa land of the Carmel,â a Carmel land (see 1 Kings 18:19, note; Isaiah 29:17, note).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 2:7. And I brought you into a plentiful country — The land of Canaan.
My land — The particular property of God, which he gave to them as an inheritance, they being his peculiar people.
