Jeremiah 39:9
Nebuzaradan <05018> [Nebuzar-adan.]
captain .... royal guard <02876 07227> [captain of the guard. or, chief marshal. Heb. chief of the executioners, or slaughter-men. and so.]
captive .............. carried <01540> [carried.]
Jeremiah 52:27
king <04428> [the king.]
Riblah <07247> [Riblah.]
Judah <03063> [Thus.]
Leviticus 26:31-33
lay <05414> [And I will make.]
desolate <08074> [and bring.]
smell <07306> [I will not smell. See on]
will make .... desolate ........... appalled <08074> [And I.]
enemies <0341> [and your.]
Deuteronomy 28:15
ignore <08085> [if thou wilt.]
curses <07045> [all these curses.]
The same variety of expression is used in these terrible curses, as in the preceding blessings, to intimate every kind of prosperity or adversity, personal, relative, and public. Consulting the marginal references will generally lead to the best exposition of the terms employed; and will frequently point out the fulfilment of the promises and threatenings.
Deuteronomy 28:64-68
scatter <06327> [scatter.]
worship <05647> [there thou shalt.]
those <01992> [among.]
After the conquest of their country by the Romans, Hadrian, by a public decree, ratified by the senate, forbad any Jew to come even within sight of Judea; and hence they were dispersed over every quarter of the globe, where they found no alleviation or respite from misery. In no country are they treated as denizens; all suspect them as enemies, and behave to them as aliens; if they do not, as had been too frequently the case, harass, oppress, and persecute them, even unto death.
rest <07280> [shalt thou.]
Lord <03068> [the Lord.]
failing eyesight <05869 03631> [failing of eyes.]
return ... Egypt <04714 07725> [bring thee into Egypt.]
This verse seems especially to point out an event, which took place subsequently to the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus, and the desolation made by Hadrian. Numbers of the captives were sent by sea into Egypt (as well as into other countries), and sold for slaves at a vile price, and for the meanest offices; and many thousands were left to perish from want; for the multitude was so great, that purchasers could not be found for them all at any price!
sell <04376> [there ye shall.]
Deuteronomy 28:2
come ..... abundance <0935 05381> [come on thee.]
