Commentary on Jeremiah 31:40

Theological / Devotional

Valley of the dead bodies. Evidently a reference to the Valley of Hinnom (see on ch. 19:2). The “brook of Kidron” was the deep depression on the east side of the city, and the “horse gate” was “toward the east” of the Temple. All this area that was “thrown down” by the Babylonian invaders the prophet sees restored and made “holy unto the Lord.”
