F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Two Baskets of Figs Jeremiah 24:1-10 These two baskets represent the different, fates that overlook the people at the fall of Jerusalem. The good figs in the first were those who were taken to Babylon with Jeremiah. It was for their good that they were transplanted, Jeremiah 24:5 . How often we are led into captivity for the same reason. With bitter regrets we turn our backs on our early home, the scenes of our youth, and the faces we have loved. Sometimes we are carried into a strange... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Still speaking to Zedekiah, Jeremiah repeated three prophecies from the past, the first being a vision after Jeconiah's (Jehoiachin's) captivity, the second being a message delivered in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, and the last a yet earlier one, delivered in the beginning of Jehoiakim's reign. The vision after Jeconiah's captivity was two baskets of figs, the first containing very good, and the second very bad, figs. The basket of good figs symbolized the captives who had been taken to the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Subsection 7). Words Concerning Various Kings (Jeremiah 21:1 to Jeremiah 24:10 ). This subsection proceeds in logical sequence although not chronologically, and will centre on three special themes, firstly on the fact that all hope for Judah in the short term has now gone, secondly that the promises of the false prophets suggesting that any of the current sons of David will be restored to the throne are invalid, and thirdly that while final blessing ‘in coming days’ will truly be at the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Jeremiah 24:1-2 Samuel : . The Good and Bad Figs.— The prophet sees (either in vision or actuality; see on Jeremiah 1:11; Jeremiah 1:13; cf. Amos 7:1, etc.) baskets of good and bad figs respectively; Yahweh tells him that the former represent the first body of exiles under Jeconiah (Jehoiachin, 2 Kings 24:15 f.) who shall be restored, and the latter the people remaining under Zedekiah, together with those in Egypt. For Ezekiel’ s similar judgment of the Palestinian and Babylonian sections of... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 24:1-10

Jeremiah 24:2 . One basket had very good figs. This was emblematical of the better sort of people, who were carried away under Jeconiah, and sent to Babylon for their good. It is much the same with the fruits imported from the east. Being packed a little before they are quite ripe, they improve on the voyage. The second basket of figs were utterly corrupt, descriptive of the people under Zedekiah, who instead of profiting by the first disaster, offended so much the more, and were despised... read more
