Commentary on Jeremiah 40:1

Theological / Devotional

Ramah. Most probably what is now Ramallah, not Ramah of Benjamin (see on ch. 31:15). This town was evidently used by the Babylonians as a station for prisoners brought there from Jerusalem subject to further orders as to their final disposition. Nebuzar-adan apparently had not met Jeremiah before, and used this opportunity to surprise the prophet with the good news that he was to be released immediately (see on ch. 39:14).
