耶利米書 46:1-6 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 46:1-11

The first verse is the title of that part of this book, which relates to the neighbouring nations, and follows here. It is the word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah against the Gentiles; for God is King and Judge of nations, knows and will call to an account those who know him not nor take any notice of him. Both Isaiah and Ezekiel prophesied against these nations that Jeremiah here has a separate saying to, and with reference to the same events. In the Old Testament we have the word of the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:1

The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles. Or "nations"; distinguished from the Jews; not all the nations of the world, but some hereafter mentioned, as the Egyptians, Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Syrians, Arabians, Persians, and Chaldeans: or "concerning the nations" F16 על גוים "super gentes", Montanus; "de gentibus", Cocceius. ; the above mentioned; though the prophecies delivered out concerning them are all against them, and not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:2

Against Egypt ,.... This is the title of the first prophecy against Egypt; which is the first mentioned, because first accomplished; and because the Jews placed great confidence in and much relied on the Egyptians for help: against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt ; who is by Herodotus F17 L. 2. sive Euterpe, c. 158. called Necos; he was the son and successor of Psammitichus, and was succeeded by his son Psammis; and he by Apries, the same with Pharaohhophra, Jeremiah 44:30 ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:3

Order ye the buckler and shield ,.... Both signify one and the same sort of armour, only of a different form, the one being lesser and lighter than the other. Jarchi makes the difference to be, that the former was made of skin, the latter of wood; they were both used to defend the body in war. To order them is not only to prepare them, and get them ready; but to fit them to the body, and to put them on, that they might be in a readiness to engage in battle. The exhortation is made either to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:4

Harness the horses ,.... Put on their bridles and saddles and gird them: or, "bind the horses" F18 אסרו הסוסים "ligate equos", Montanus, Calvin; "alligate", Schmidt. ; that is, to the chariots; put them to, as we commonly express it: Egypt abounded in horses, and so no doubt brought a large cavalry, and a multitude of chariots, into the field of battle: and get up, ye horsemen ; upon the horses, or into the chariots, and so be ready to receive the enemy, or to attack him: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:5

Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back ?.... The Egyptians, after all this preparation for war, and seeming ardent to engage in battle; and yet, when they came to it, were seized with a panic, and thrown into the utmost consternation, and turned their backs upon their enemy: these are either the words of the prophet, who had a view by a spirit of prophecy, of the consternation, confusion, and flight of the Egyptian army; or of the Lord, who foresaw all this, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 46:6

Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty men escape ,.... Those that were swift of foot, like Asahel, or carried but light armour, let not such trust to their swiftness or light carriage; nor let the mighty man think to escape by reason of his great strength, to make his way through the enemy, and get out of his hands. Or this may be rendered as future, "the swift shall not flee away", &c.; F20 אל ינוס "non fugiet", Pagninus, Montanus; "non effugiet", Munster, Tigurine... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:1

The word of the Lord - against the Gentiles - This is a general title to the following collection of prophecies, written concerning different nations, which had less or more connection with the Jews, either as enemies, neighbors, or allies. They were not written at the same time; and though some of them bear dates, yet it would be difficult to give them any chronological arrangement. Dahler's mode of ascertaining the times of their delivery may be seen in the table in the introduction. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 46:2

Pharaoh-necho - This was the person who defeated the army of Josiah, in which engagement Josiah received a mortal wound, of which he died, greatly regretted, soon after at Megiddo. After this victory, he defeated the Babylonians, and took Carchemish; and, having fortified it, returned to his own country. Nabopolassar sent his son Nebuchadnezzar with an army against him, defeated him with immense slaughter near the river Euphrates, retook Carchemish, and subdued all the revolted provinces,... read more
