Commentary

Commentary on Jeremiah 25:3

Theological / Devotional

The thirteenth year. The Jewish civil year 628/627 B.C. (see on ch. 1:2).

Three and twentieth year. The 23rd of Jeremiah’s personal ministry, not necessarily a calendar or regnal year; probably an example of anniversary reckoning from his first message, perhaps late in Josiah’s 13th year. Only thus could the 23rd year extend into Nebuchadnezzar’s 1st year. (Some count it inclusively to his accession year.)

Rising early. An idiom indicating persevering endeavor (see on ch. 7:13).
