Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 10:16

_ _ portion — from a Hebrew root, “to divide.” God is the all-sufficient Good of His people (Numbers 18:20; Psalms 16:5; Psalms 73:26; Lamentations 3:24).

_ _ not like them — not like the idols, a vain object of trust (Deuteronomy 32:31).

_ _ former of all things — the Fashioner (as a potter, Isaiah 64:8) of the universe.

_ _ rod of his inheritance — The portion marked off as His inheritance by the measuring rod (Ezekiel 48:21). As He is their portion, so are they His portion (Deuteronomy 32:9). A reciprocal tie (compare Jeremiah 51:19; Psalms 74:2, Margin). Others make “rod” refer to the tribal rod or scepter.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 10:1-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 10:16

Portion — God, who vouchsafes to be the portion of his people. The former — Idols are things framed or formed, but God is the former of all things. The rod of his inheritance — So called, because the inheritances of Israel were measured by a line, reed, or rod.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 10:16

The (i) portion of Jacob [is] not like them: for he [is] the former of all [things]; and Israel [is] the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.

(i) By these words, portion and rod, he signifies their inheritance, meaning that God would be all sufficient for them: and that their happiness consisted in him alone, and therefore they ought to renounce all other help and comfort as of idols, etc. (Deuteronomy 32:9; Psalms 16:5).
