1 tn The verbs here are both direct imperatives but it sounds awkward to say “You and Jeremiah, go and hide” in contemporary English. The same force is accomplished by phrasing the statement as strong advice. |

2 sn Nothing further is known about Irijah. It is generally agreed that the Hananiah mentioned here is not the same as the false prophet of the same name whom Jeremiah confronted approximately six years earlier (Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">28:1, 5, 10, 15). |
| (0.13636015625) | (Jer 38:1) |
1 tn The name is spelled “Jucal” in the Hebrew text here rather than “Jehucal” as in Jer 37:3. The translation uses the same spelling throughout so that the English reader can identify these as the same individual. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Jer 38:7) |
1 sn This individual, Ebed Melech, is mentioned only here. Later he will be promised deliverance from destruction when the city falls because he had shown trust in God (see Jer 39:16-18). |

2 sn Hazor. Nothing is know about this Hazor other than what is said here in vv. Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">28, 30, 33. They appear to also be nomadic tent dwellers who had a loose association with the Kedarites. |
| (0.13636015625) | (Jer 49:29) |
2 sn This expression is a favorite theme in the book of Jeremiah. It describes the terrors of war awaiting the people of Judah and Jerusalem (Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">6:25), the Egyptians at Carchemish (Kir+Heres&tab=notes" ver="">46:5), and here the Kedarites. |
