Commentary on Jeremiah 22:28

Theological / Devotional

Idol. Heb. ‘eseb, “a form,” “a thing;” that is, “something formed.” This word is used in apposition with “vessel,” which in turn refers to a piece of pottery fashioned by a potter. Jehoiachin was a rejected “vessel” cast out into Babylon.

Seed. Heb. zera\ meaning either “seed [of plants, etc.],” or “offspring,” “descendants.” This reference seems to imply that, though Jehoiachin was only 18 years of age at this time (597 B.C.), he already had one or more children. Cuneiform records list him as having five children in 592 B.C. (see on 2 Chron. 36:9).
