Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 27:2

_ _ bonds — by which the yoke is made fast to the neck (Jeremiah 5:5).

_ _ yokes — literally, the carved piece of wood attached at both ends to the two yokes on the necks of a pair of oxen, so as to connect them. Here the yoke itself. The plural is used, as he was to wear one himself, and give the others to the ambassadors; (Jeremiah 27:3; Jeremiah 28:10, Jeremiah 28:12) proves that the symbolical act was in this instance (though not in others, Jeremiah 25:15) actually done (compare Isaiah 20:2, etc.; Ezekiel 12:3, Ezekiel 12:11, Ezekiel 12:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 27:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 27:2

Thus saith — God commands the prophet to procure some yokes with bonds to make them more fast; and to put one of them upon his own neck, that therein he might be a type both to his own people, and also the people afterward mentioned, that they should be in bondage to the king of Babylon.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Jeremiah 27:2

Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee (b) bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,

(b) By such signs the prophets used sometimes to confirm their prophecies which they could not do of themselves but in as much as they had a revelation for the same, (Isaiah 20:2) and therefore the false prophets to get more credit, used also such visible signs but they had no revelation, (1 Kings 22:12).
