# General Information:

Ammon is destroyed because it drove the people of the tribe of Gad from their homeland. This remembers the promises of the covenant Yahweh made with Abraham to curse those who curse Abraham's descendants. The purpose of these rhetorical questions is to convict those Yahweh addresses. The ULB sets the lines in 49:1-11, 14-27, 29-33, 37-39 farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because they are part of a long quotation.

# Yahweh says this

Jeremiah introduces an important message from Yahweh. See Jeremiah 6:6.

# Does Israel have no children? Is there no one to inherit anything in Israel? Why does Molech occupy Gad, and his people live in its cities?

"There are plenty of Israelites to inherit the land of Israel. The people who worship the false idol, Molech, should not live in Gad."

# Why does Molech

"Why do the people who worship Molech"
