What Does Jeremiah 44:24 Mean?
After the rebuke, Jeremiah makes another appeal: 'Hear the word of the LORD.' Despite their rejection, despite their vows to ignore him, Jeremiah still speaks for God. The address to 'all the people, and to all the women' shows he is reaching out to every segment of the community, not writing anyone off.
The title 'all Judah that are in the land of Egypt' reminds them of their identity: they are Judah, God's covenant people, even though they have displaced themselves to Egypt. Their location has not changed their identity or relationship to God. This is both a description of their situation and an implicit call to remember who they belong to.
