Jeremiah 32:24
ramps <05550> [mounts. or, engines of shot.]
The mounts were huge terraces raised up to plant their engines on; and so formed as to be capable of being moved forwards towards the city. See Note on 2 Sa 20:15.
city .............. make ... city <05892 05414> [the city is.]
<06440> [because.]
threatened <01696> [what.]
Ezekiel 4:1-8
take <03947> [take.]
brick <03843> [a tile.]
[Lebˆbnƒh <\\See definition 03843\\>,] {levainah,} generally denotes a brick, and Palladius informs us that the bricks in common use among the ancients were "two feet long, one foot broad, and four inches thick;" and on such a surface the whole siege might be easily pourtrayed. Perhaps, however, it may here denote a flat tile, like a Roman brick, which were commonly used for tablets, as we learn from Pliny, Hist. Nat. 1. vii. c. 57.
Jerusalem <03389> [even.]
Lay ................ Post <05414> [lay.]
battering rams <03733> [battering rams. or, chief leaders.]
iron frying ......... iron <04227 01270> [an iron pan. or, a flat plate, or slice.]

place <07760> [and lay.]
bear <05375> [thou shalt bear.]
determined <05414> [I have.]
390 <07969> [three.]
This number of years will take us back from the year in which Judea was finally desolated by Nebuzar-adan, B.C. 584, to the establishment of idolatry in Israel by Jeroboam, B.C. 975. "Beginning from 1 Ki 12:33. Ending Jer 52:30."
40 days ...... day ... each <0705 03117> [forty days.]
This represented the forty years during which gross idolatry prevailed in Judah, from the reformation of Josiah, B.C. 624, to the same final desolation of the land. Some think that the period of 390 days also predicts the duration of the siege of the Babylonians, (ver. 9,) deducting from it five months and twenty-nine days, when the besiegers went to meet the Egyptians (2 Ki 25:1-4; Jer 37:5;) and that forty days may have been employed in desolating the temple and city. "Beginning from 2 Ki 23:3, 23. Ending Jer 52:30."
days ...... day ... each year <08141 03117> [each day for a year. Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year.]

Luke 19:43-44
days <2250> [the days.]
will build <4016> [cast.]
Or, "cast a bank" or rampart [charax <\\See definition 5482\\>.] This was literally fulfilled when Jerusalem was besieged by Titus; who surrounded it with a wall of circumvallation in three days, though not less than 39 furlongs in circumference; and when this was effected, the Jews were so enclosed on every side, that no person could escape from the city, and no provision could be brought in.
They will demolish <1474> [lay.]
your children .......................... your <4675 5043> [thy children.]
