Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 31:40

_ _ valley of ... dead — Tophet, where the bodies of malefactors were cast (Isaiah 30:33), south of the city.

_ _ fields ... Kidron — so 2 Kings 23:4. Fields in the suburbs reaching as far as Kidron, east of the city.

_ _ horse gate — Through it the king’s horses were led forth for watering to the brook Kidron (2 Kings 11:16; Nehemiah 3:28).

_ _ for ever — The city shall not only be spacious, but both “holy to the Lord,” that is, freed from all pollutions, and everlasting (Joel 3:17, Joel 3:20; Revelation 21:2, Revelation 21:10, Revelation 21:27).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 31:35-40.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 31:40

The valley — A valley, so called from the multitude of Sennacherib's army slain there. Of the ashes — So called from the ashes of the sacrifices carried thither. Holy — All these places shall be parts of the holy city, and God's name shall be sanctified, and he shall be worshipped in them all. For ever — If we interpret the word for ever of a perpetuity, the church of God must here be understood, against which the gates of hell shall never prevail.
