Jeremiah 13:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Jeremiah 13:4
This verse commands concealment: 'Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.' The Hebrew Perath (פְּרָת) is usually 'Euphrates' (major river in Mesopotamia) but some suggest Parah, a town near Anathoth. 'Hide it' (tamnenu, from taman—bury, conceal) in 'hole of the rock' (neqiq hasela) indicates placing it where moisture and decay will affect it. The location—whether Euphrates or nearby Parah—represents Babylon, the source of coming judgment.
