Contextual Overview

1Thus the LORD said to me, "Go and buy yourself a linen waistband and put it on your loins, but do not put it in water." 2So I bought the waistband according to the word of the LORD and put it on my loins. 3Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, 4"Get up and take the waistband that you have bought, which is [wrapped] around your loins, and go to the [river] Euphrates and hide it there in a crevice of the rock." 5So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the LORD had commanded me.6And after many days the LORD said to me, "Get up, go to the Euphrates and get the waistband which I commanded you to hide there." 7Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. And behold, the waistband was decayed and ruined; it was completely worthless. 8Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9"Thus says the LORD, 'In this same way I shall destroy the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10'These wicked and malevolent people, who refuse to listen to My words, who walk in the stubborn way of their heart and have followed other gods [which are nothing—just man-made carvings] to serve them and to worship them, let them be just like this waistband which is completely worthless.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So I went and hid it by Euphrates,.... Or, "in" o it; in a hole of the rock, upon the banks of it:

as the Lord commanded me: all this seems to be done not really, but visionally; it can hardly be thought that Jeremy should be sent on two such long journeys, on such an account, which would take up a considerable time to perform it in; but rather that he went and came in like manner as Ezekiel did, in the visions of God, from Chaldea to Jerusalem, and from thence to Chaldea again, Ezekiel 8:3, and so Maimonaides p was of opinion, as Kimchi on the place observes, that all this was done in a vision of prophecy.

o בפרת "in Euphrate", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin. p Moreh Nevochim, par. 2. c. 46. p. 323.
