Verse 27
Jer 51:27 Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillers.
Ver. 27. Set up a standard. ] Thus God the great Induperator bespeaketh the Medes and Persians as his field officers.
Prepare the nations against her. ] Heb., Sanctify, call them together to wage this sacred war against Babylon.
Call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz, ] i.e., Of both the Armenias and of Aseania, subdued by Cyrus before he marched against Babylon. a Vatablus will have Ashchenaz to be Gothland; the Jews, Germany; but these were too far remote.
