Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 25:20

Theological / Devotional

Mingled people. Or, “mixed multitude” (see Jer. 50:37; cf. Ex. 12:38; Neh. 13:3). Possibly an allusion to the Ionians and Carians whom Psamtik I, the father of Necho II, had settled in Egypt, and who were used in the Egyptian army as auxiliary troops (see Herodotus ii. 152, 154; see also on Dan. 2:39).

Uz. As to the location of this land, see on Job 1:1.

Land of the Philistines. This includes the four cities that immediately follow: Ashkelon, Azzah (the same as Gaza), Ekron, and Ashdod.

Remnant of Ashdod. Possibly an allusion to the fact that the Egyptian king Psamtik I (see Vol. II, p. 90) captured Ashdod after a siege of 29 years (see Herodotus ii. 157).
