Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 2:1-37

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology. Most probably in thirteenth Josiah, quickly after his call. Dr. Dahler (Stratsbourg) would interpose chapters 4, 5, 6; deferring this chapter till after them. But Hitzig sees in chap. 2 and 3 (where they think this discourse ends) all the characteristics of an inaugural prophetic deliverance; for “in its finished completeness it gives the impression of a first uttered outpouring of the heart, in which are set forth, without restraint, Jehovah’s list... read more
