Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now these [are] the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem,.... The argument and tenor, the sum and substance, of an epistle, which the prophet Jeremiah, being at Jerusalem, wrote, under the inspiration of God, to his countrymen abroad, afterwards described; so the prophets under the Old Testament instructed the people, sometimes by their sermons and discourses delivered by word of mouth to them, and sometimes by letters and epistles; as did the apostles of the New Testament; and they were both ways useful and profitable to men:

unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captive; some perhaps dying by the way, and others quickly after they came to Babylon; some were left, who had been rulers or civil magistrates in Judea, and perhaps of the great sanhedrim:

and to the priests, and to the prophets: false prophets, as the Syriac version; for we read only of one true prophet that was carried captive, and that was Ezekiel; but of false prophets several:

and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon; which was eleven or twelve years before their last captivity thither. This was a catholic epistle, common to all the captives of every rank and class, age or sex.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The residue of the ciders - i. e., such of the elders as were still alive.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXIX

This chapter contains the substance of two letters sent by the

prophet to the captives in Babylon. In the first he recommends

to them patience and composure under their present

circumstances, which were to endure for seventy years, 1-14;

in which, however, they should fare better than their brethren

who remained behind, 15-19.

But, finding little credit given to this message, on account of

the suggestions of the false prophets, Ahab the son of Kolaiah,

and Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who flattered them with the

hopes of a speedy end to their captivity, he sends a second, in

which he denounces heavy judgments against those false prophets

that deceived them, 20-23;

as he did afterwards against Shemaiah the Nehelamite, who had

sent a letter of complaint against Jeremiah, in consequence of

his message, 24-32.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXIX

Verse Jeremiah 29:1. Now these are the words of the letter — This transaction took place in the first or second year of Zedekiah. It appears that the prophet had been informed that the Jews who had already been carried into captivity had, through the instigations of false prophets, been led to believe that they were to be brought out of their captivity speedily. Jeremiah, fearing that this delusion might induce them to take some hasty steps, ill comporting with their present state, wrote a letter to them, which he entrusted to an embassy which Zedekiah had sent on some political concerns to Nebuchadnezzar. The letter was directed to the elders, priests, prophets, and people who had been carried away captives to Babylon.
