Commentary on Jeremiah 51:2

Theological / Devotional

Fanners. Or, “winnowers.” The picture is that of the Oriental method of separating the wheat from the chaff after the tramping of oxen had threshed the grain. The mixture of grain and chaff was thrown into the air; the grain, being heavier, fell to the ground, while the wind carried the chaff away. So the Babylonians were to be scattered by the “destroying wind” of the Persians.
