ירמיהו, פרק כ״ג, פסוק ז׳

Jeremiah 23:7Sefaria

לָכֵ֛ן הִנֵּה־יָמִ֥ים בָּאִ֖ים נְאֻם־יְהֹוָ֑ה וְלֹא־יֹ֤אמְרוּ עוֹד֙ חַי־יְהֹוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֧ר הֶעֱלָ֛ה אֶת־בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מֵאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם׃

The future redemption of the Israelites will be an event of such immense magnitude that it will completely eclipse the Exodus from Egypt. For generations, the Exodus stood as the foundational event in their history. However, the primary approach among commentators is that the miracles of the final redemption will be far greater and more important than those witnessed in Egypt. Because of this monumental shift, people will no longer use the Exodus as the ultimate symbol of the power of God when swearing by His name, as it will simply no longer be considered His greatest marvel.

There is a fundamental difference between these two historical milestones. During the Exodus, God brought the Israelites themselves out of a single country. The future redemption, however, will be much more comprehensive. It will involve gathering their descendants from all the lands where they were scattered, primarily the land of the North, which symbolizes a deeper and harsher exile [מלבי״ם].

The promises surrounding this event appear earlier in the prophecies of Jeremiah with slight variations in wording. This repetition of phrases using different words is a method used to strengthen and emphasize the certainty and importance of the matter [רד״ק].
