Euphrates —In order to support the view that Jeremiah's act was outward, HENDERSON considers that the Hebrew Phrath here is Ephratha, the original name of Beth-lehem, six miles south of Jerusalem, a journey easy to be made by Jeremiah. The non-addition of the word "river," which usually precedes Phrath, when meaning Euphrates, favors this view. But I prefer English Version. The Euphrates is specified as being near Babylon, the Jews future place of exile. hole —typical of the prisons in which the Jews were to be confined. the rock —some well-known rock. A sterile region, such as was that to which the Jews were led away (compare Isaiah 7:19 ) [GROTIUS]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-6" class="com-number"
