36:19  a The Temple was destroyed in August 586 BC (see 2 Kgs 25:8  b; Jer 52:12  c).
36:21  d The length of the captivity had been predicted by Jeremiah (Jer 25:11-12  e; 29:10  f; see study note on Ezra 6:15).

• The land finally enjoyed its Sabbath rest: See Lev 26:34-35  g, 43  h, where the punishment for disobedience is exile; the land is left unused for all the Sabbaths of which it had been deprived. The land’s time of rest was also a preparation for the time of restoration.

• the prophet: That is, Jeremiah.
