remain. Probably because they were too heavy and cumbrous. city. So the reading of Ben-Asher; but Ben-Naphtali reads "land". These were the two rival critics of the Hebrew text in the tenth century A.D. who furnished the vowel-points. Ben-Asher's work was done at Tiberias in 827 "from the destruction of Jerusalem", and is now at Aleppo. Of Ben- Naphtali nothing is known beyond official lists which have come down to us. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-22

1-29. Judah is warned to submit to Babylon.1. For Jehoiakim read ’Zedekiah’: see Jeremiah 27:3, Jeremiah 27:12, Jeremiah 27:20. The former word may be a copyist’s accidental repetition of Jeremiah 26:1. 2. It is plain from Jeremiah 28:10 that Jeremiah actually wore a yoke in public. 3. Messengers] These ambassadors had come to Jerusalem probably with the view of forming an alliance against Babylon. This, however, was not accomplished, as Zedekiah was compelled to go to Babylon and swear... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-32

Jeremiah’s Sixteenth Prophecy (Reign of Zedekiah, Earlier Part). The Babylonian YokeBabylon had already shown its power. Jehoiakim and the chief of the people had been carried captive. Zedekiah was king only on sufferance. The neighbouring nations were under those circumstances willing to make common cause with the Jews against Nebuchadnezzar, many of whom, however, refused to realise the gravity of the danger. In these chs., therefore, Jeremiah sets himself to show that the power of Babylon... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 27:19

(19) For thus saith the Lord of hosts concerning the pillars . . .—The “pillars” referred to were probably the two bronze columns known as Jachin and Boaz, on each side of the porch of the Temple (1 Kings 7:21). The molten “sea,” standing on twelve oxen as its supporters, is described in 1 Kings 7:23-26. The ten “bases” for the ten lavers, with their engraved work of cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, are described in 1 Kings 7:27-37. The work of plunder was apparently confined, in the first... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 27:1-22

CHAPTER IXHANANIAHJeremiah 27:1-22, Jeremiah 28:1-17"Hear now, Hananiah; Jehovah hath not sent thee, but thou makest this people to trust in a lie."- Jeremiah 28:15THE most conspicuous point at issue between Jeremiah and his opponents was political rather than ecclesiastical. Jeremiah was anxious that Zedekiah should keep faith with Nebuchadnezzar, and not involve Judah in useless misery by another hopeless revolt. The prophets preached the popular doctrine of an imminent Divine intervention to... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 27:1-22

CHAPTER 27 The Optimism of the False Prophets Contradicted 1. The call of Nebuchadnezzar to be the servant of God (Jeremiah 27:1-11 ) 2. The call to submit and to serve the king of Babylon (Jeremiah 27:12-22 ) Jeremiah 27:1-11 . It was in the earlier part of the reign of Zedekiah (Jehoiakim in Jeremiah 27:1 is a clerical error, see Jeremiah 27:3 and Jeremiah 27:12 ) that Jeremiah is commanded to make bonds and yokes to put them on his neck; then he was to send them to the surrounding... read more
