Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:9

Jeremiah 10:9. Silver spread into plates To cover the images, and make them appear as if made of massy silver; is brought from Tarshish A port of Spain, to which the merchants of Tyre and Sidon traded; of which place see note on Isaiah 2:16. And gold from Uphaz The Syriac, Chaldee, and Theodotion read, from Ophir, which Bochart supposes to be here meant; namely, Ophir in India, near Zeilan, a place famous for gold. Blue and purple are their clothing “The splendour and magnificence... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 10:10

Jeremiah 10:10. But the Lord Hebrew, Jehovah, is the true God A very different being from these idols. He is the living God Images are dead and senseless things; but Jehovah is life itself, and the author and fountain of life and understanding; and all creatures that live, live in and by him. And an everlasting King The absolute monarch over all creatures, their owner and ruler, having an incontestable right both to command and to dispose of them. And the counsels of his kingdom were... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 10:1-16

Knowledge of the only true God (9:23-10:16)People may have knowledge, power and wealth, but these are no substitute for a true understanding and knowledge of God (23-24). The Judeans may have been circumcised as a sign that they are the covenant people of God, but in their hearts they have not been true to God or the covenant. They might as well be uncircumcised like their heathen neighbours. Israel’s rite of circumcision is no more beneficial to disobedient people than the heathen rite of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 10:8

Jeremiah 10:8. But they are altogether brutish, &c.— But they are altogether foolish, and have received the instruction of those which are nothing but wood. Houb. The stock is a doctrine of vanities— The true meaning and force of this passage seems to have escaped the notice of all the commentators, except Blayney. מוסר musar, properly signifies rectifying or correcting a false notion by just reproof; and by vanities are meant idols, so called from their being of no real use or advantage to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 10:9

Jeremiah 10:9. Tarshish, and—Uphaz— Tarshish was a place at this time celebrated through all the East for its commerce. Calmet has endeavoured to prove, in his dissertation upon Ophir, that the gold of Uphaz was the same with that of the river Pison; and Bochart supposes Uphaz to be the same with Ophir in India, near Zeilan, a place famous for gold. Blue and purple is their clothing— The splendor and magnificence of dress seems among the ancients to have consisted very much in the richness of... read more

8. altogether—rather, "all alike" [MAURER]. Even the so-called "wise" men ( :-) of the Gentiles are on a level with the brutes and "foolish," namely, because they connive at the popular idolatry (compare :-). Therefore, in Daniel and Revelation, the world power is represented under a bestial form.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 10:9

9. Everything connected with idols is the result of human effort. Silver spread—(See on :-; :-). Tarshish—Tartessus, in Spain, famed for precious metals. Uphaz— ( :-). As the Septuagint in the Syrian Hexapla in the Margin, THEODOTUS, the Syrian and Chaldee versions have "Ophir," GESENIUS thinks "Uphaz" a colloquial corruption (one letter only being changed) for "Ophir." Ophir, in Genesis 10:29, is mentioned among Arabian countries. Perhaps Malacca is the country meant, the natives of which... read more
