Contextual Overview

1 Thus said Jehovah unto me, `Go, and thou hast got for thee a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into water thou dost not cause it to enter:' 2 and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place [it] on my loins. 3 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying, 4 `Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of the rock; 5 and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me. 6 And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that Jehovah saith unto me, `Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;' 7 and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred, it is not profitable for anything. 8 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Thus said Jehovah: 9 Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great excellency of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is -- as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So I went and hid it by Euphrates,.... Or, "in" o it; in a hole of the rock, upon the banks of it:

as the Lord commanded me: all this seems to be done not really, but visionally; it can hardly be thought that Jeremy should be sent on two such long journeys, on such an account, which would take up a considerable time to perform it in; but rather that he went and came in like manner as Ezekiel did, in the visions of God, from Chaldea to Jerusalem, and from thence to Chaldea again, Ezekiel 8:3, and so Maimonaides p was of opinion, as Kimchi on the place observes, that all this was done in a vision of prophecy.

o בפרת "in Euphrate", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin. p Moreh Nevochim, par. 2. c. 46. p. 323.
