Commentary on Jeremiah 31:38

Theological / Devotional

City shall be built. A divine description, in terms that would be understood by the people of that time, of the completeness of the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The “tower of Hananeel” was in the northern wall (see maps, Jerusalem and Environs in the Time of Jeremiah and Jerusalem Region), and “the gate of the corner” at the northwest corner (see Zech. 14:10); thus the new city would be complete from corner to corner.
