Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 19:1

Get (i. e., purchase) a potter’s earthen bottle - The “bottle” was a flask with a long neck, and took its name from the noise made by liquids in running out.The ancients - These “elders” were the regularly constituted representatives of the people (see Jeremiah 29:1; Numbers 11:16), and the organization lasted down to our Saviour’s time Matthew 26:47. Similarly the priests had also their representatives 2 Kings 19:2. Accompanied thus by the representatives of Church and State, the prophet was... read more

Jeremiah 19:1-2. Go and get a potter’s earthen bottle The meaning of this emblem is fully explained in the subsequent verses; and indeed the whole chapter requires little more comment than a reference to the passages in the margin. And take of the ancients of the people Or, take with thee some of the ancients, &c. By these, men of reputation and eminence are meant, probably such as were members of the Sanhedrim. And of the ancients of the priests The heads of the four and twenty... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 19:1-15

The broken pot (19:1-20:6)In another acted parable Jeremiah, carrying an earthenware pot in his hand, took the leaders of Jerusalem to a place outside the city walls where old pottery was dumped. This was in the valley where the Judeans once sacrificed their children to Molech and carried out other pagan rites (19:1-2; see 7:30-34 and section, ‘Tophet and the Valley of Hinnom’).Through their leaders, the people of Judah are told that in this valley, where they have killed their children, they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Jeremiah 19:1

JEREMIAH 19THE SMASHED POTTER'S VESSELThe feature of this little chapter is the irrefutable and irremediable cancellation of the status of racial Israel as God's Chosen People, a status which, by their reprobacy, they forfeited to the New Israel in whom all the glorious prophecies of the fathers would be fulfilled.Here is the parable of the smashed potter's vessel. The previous chapter showed God's patience and ability to accommodate to the imperfections of the clay; but this one stresses a far... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 19:1

Yahweh told Jeremiah to take some of Judah’s elders and senior priests and to go and purchase a potter’s earthenware water-jar (Heb. baqbuq). The Hebrew word is onomatopoetic, suggesting the sound the water made as it poured out of the bottle. These jars, which archaeologists have found in abundance, range in size from four to 10 inches in height, and they have very slim necks. [Note: Feinberg, p. 495.] Perhaps these leaders were willing to accompany Jeremiah, even though he was very unpopular... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 19:1-6

The broken jar object lesson 19:1-20:6This message to the people involved another symbolic act (cf. Jeremiah 13:1-11). This incident may have occurred between 609 and 605 B.C."In ch. 18 God explains to Jeremiah that sovereign grace is able to take the marred vessel (Israel) and remake it a vessel of usefulness (Jeremiah 19:4). But to the elders, in ch. 19, the prophet declares that their generation will be irreparably destroyed like a smashed fragile vessel, and the fragments taken to Babylon.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 19:1-15

In Jeremiah 18 the special lesson was the power of God to alter at any moment the destinies of a people. Here, on the other hand, it is taught that the time may come when the only alteration must take the form of a breaking or overthrow.1-13. Figure of the broken vessel.1. Ancients] RV ’elders.’2.
