An Urgent Call to Separation
Commentators explain that the repeated command, "Depart ye, depart ye," was an urgent call for the exiles to leave Babylon. Many had grown comfortable and were reluctant to leave their homes and possessions. Scholars see this as a timeless principle for believers: a decisive and complete separation from the sinful influences and idolatries of the world is necessary for following God.
