"Tomad mujeres y engendrad hijos e hijas, tomad mujeres para vuestros hijos y dad vuestras hijas a maridos para que den a luz hijos e hijas, y multiplicaos allí y no disminuyáis.
Casaos, y engendrad hijos hijas; dad mujeres vuestros hijos, y dad maridos vuestras hijas, para que paran hijos hijas; y multiplicaos ah, y no os hagis pocos.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters,.... That is, such as had no wives, who were either bachelors or widowers; not that they were to take wives of the Chaldeans, but of those of their own nation; for intermarriages with Heathens were forbidden them; and this they were to do, in order to propagate their posterity, and keep up a succession:
and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands; or "men" s; preserving and establishing the right of parents to give their children in marriage, and pointing to them their duty to provide suitable yoke fellows for them; and hereby is signified, that not only they, but their children after them, should continue in this state of captivity:
that they may bear sons and daughters, that ye may be increased there;
and not diminished; like their ancestors in Egypt, who grew very numerous amidst all their afflictions and bondage.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As the exile was God’s doing for their good, they were to make the best of their position, and acquire wealth and influence; whereas if they were always restlessly looking out for the opportunity of returning home, they would rapidly fall into poverty and dwindle away.
Jeremiah 29:7
Seek the peace of the city ... - Not only because their welfare for seventy years was bound up with that of Babylon, but because it would have degraded their whole moral nature to have lived as conspirators, banded together against the country that was for the time their home.
