Contextual Overview

1 Thus says Yahweh to me, Go, and buy a linen girdle, and put it on your loins, and don't put it in water. 2 So I bought a girdle according to the word of Yahweh, and put it on my loins. 3 And the word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying, 4 Take the girdle that you have bought, which is on your loins, and arise, go to the Euphrates, and hide it there in a cleft of the rock. 5 So I went, and hid it by the Euphrates, as Yahweh commanded me. 6 And it came to pass after many days, that Yahweh said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates, and take the girdle from there, which I commanded you to hide there. 7 Then I went to the Euphrates, and dug, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and, look, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing. 8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 9 Thus says Yahweh, After this manner I will mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem. 10 This evil people, that refuse to hear my words, that walk in the stubbornness of their heart, and have gone after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is profitable for nothing.

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.
