Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Jeremiah 49:8

_ _ turn — namely, your backs in flight.

_ _ dwell deep — in deep defiles and caves [Grotius], which abound in Idumea. Others refer it to the Arab custom of retiring into the depth of the desert when avoiding an offended foe (Jeremiah 49:30).

_ _ Dedan — a tribe bordering on and made subject by Idumea; descended from Jokshan, son of Abraham and Keturah (Genesis 25:1-3).

_ _ Esau — The naming of Edom’s progenitor, reprobated by God, recalls the remembrance of the old curse on him for his profanity, both his sin and its punishment being perpetuated in his descendants (Hebrews 12:16, Hebrews 12:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 49:7-22.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 49:8

Dedan — Was a city of Arabia joining to Idumea, Isaiah 21:13, they being neighbours to the Edomites are called to flee, and to get into caves, where they might dwell deep in the earth and be in some security.
