Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 32:1-5

Jeremiah 32. The Redemption of Land at Anathoth.— A token of confidence in the future restoration. Probably not much more than Jeremiah 32:6-Ezra : is original. This narrative, it should be noticed, is both preceded ( Jeremiah 32:30 f.) and followed ( Jeremiah 32:33) by restoration prophecies. Jeremiah 32:1-Deuteronomy : . In 587 B.C., during the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians, Jeremiah was a prisoner in the “ guard-court” , used for specially-treated prisoners ( Jeremiah 37:20 f.);... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:1

That is, something more than a year before the city was taken, for it was taken in the fourth month of the eleventh year of this king’s reign, Jeremiah 39:2. This tenth year concurred with the eighteenth year of the king of Babylon’s absolute reign, who began so to reign in the third and fourth year of Jehoiakim, Daniel 1:1; so as Jehoiakim’s last year was the seventh and eighth of Nebuchadrezzar, who is also sometimes called Nebuchadnezzar and Nabuchodonosor. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:2

The king of Babylon (as appears from 2 Kings 25:1; Jeremiah 39:1) besieged Jerusalem in the tenth month of the ninth year of Zedekiah, so as he had besieged it some time before the revelation of this prophecy came to Jeremiah. Jeremiah was at that time a prisoner, in a prison within the king’s house. The king could keep him from revealing God’s will to the people, but he could not keep God from revealing himself to him. Prisons hinder us from communion with men, but often contribute to God’s... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 32:3

We no where read that Zedekiah immediately commanded Jeremiah to be imprisoned, he seemeth rather to have been favourable to Jeremiah, and judicious interpreters think his present prison was a favourable prison; but God accounteth princes to do that which their ministers or subordinate magistrates do with their connivance, and without their hinderance. Though it be wild divinity for any to say, that inferior ministers or subjects are excused by the command of the superior, and the guilt lieth... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Chapter 32The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar ( Jeremiah 32:1 ).Now in the eleventh year of Zedekiah is when Jerusalem fell. So this is right at the end.For then [even at this time, the tenth year] the king of Babylon's army had besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house. For Zedekiah king of Judah had imprisoned... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 32:1-44

Jeremiah 32:1 . The eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. This name, which in Hebrew signifies groaning and complaint, aptly describes the miseries he inflicted on the nations. Like an inundation he ravaged all the conquered states, instead of watering them. He was son of Merodach, and founder of the Babylonian empire. Daniel 2:7. He is called the head of gold, and the flying eagle. In the first year of his military career, which was the twenty ninth of king Josiah, he ruined Nineveh, and put... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Jeremiah 32:1-15

Jeremiah 32:1-15Buy my field, I pray thee.Jeremiah’s faithI. Faith is here illustrated as resting exclusively upon the word of God. All that Jeremiah did in this matter he did just because he had a command from the Lord. Whilst he was in prison, God told him that his cousin should come and offer him the redemption of a part at least of the family inheritance. The man came, and he “knew that this was the Word of the Lord”; therefore he bought the field. It is not to be supposed that he was rich.... read more
