Why will people come from all over to bring sacrifices to the house of the Lord?

Jérémie 17:26 (NEG79)

26 On viendra des villes de Juda et des environs de Jérusalem, Du pays de Benjamin, de la vallée, De la montagne et du midi, Pour amener des holocaustes et des victimes, Pour apporter des offrandes et de l'encens, Et pour offrir des sacrifices d'actions de grâces dans la maison de l'Eternel.

Covenant observance, typified by observing the Sabbath, would also result in the blessing of people from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, from the Shephelah, from the hill country, and from the Negeb, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord. Israelites would come from every corner of the land to worship the Lord in the temple in every way. It is a picture of joyful and wholehearted worship of the Lord. The three elements, the throne of David, the temple and the city of Jerusalem made up the basic aspects of national and religious life of the covenant people. These blessings would come if the people were loyal to the Lord in their covenant obedience.1
