Earthen vessel. It was not uncommon for the ancients to place their most precious treasures in such containers (see 2 Cor. 4:7), for such vessels were a better protection against dampness and decay than those made of wood. The famous Dead Sea scrolls were preserved in such jars (see Vol. I, pp. 31-34).

Continue many days. A warning that the captives were not to expect a speedy return to their homeland.
