Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 13:4

_ _ 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].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 13:4

Take the sash that thou hast bought, which [is] upon thy loins, and arise, go to (a) Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

(a) Because this river was far from Jerusalem, it is evident that this was a vision, by which it was signified that the Jews would pass over the Euphrates to be captives in Babylon, and there for length of time would seem to be rotten, although they were joined to the Lord before as a girdle about a man.
