Commentary on Jeremiah 46:7

Theological / Devotional

A flood. Heb. ye’or, from Egyptian ’item, “the river,” that is, the Nile (see Gen. 41:1, 2; Ex. 1:22; 2:3; 7:15, 17-21, 24, 25). Egypt, virtually a rainless country, was dependent upon the annual inundation of the Nile for irrigation. The time when the Nile reached its high point in September and October marked the chief event of the year, and from ancient times was carefully recorded. The prophet here uses the picture of the flooding Nile as a striking figure of the Egyptian armies over-running Palestine and Syria (see Jer. 46:8).
