Commentary on Jeremiah 51:32

Theological / Devotional

Passages are stopped. Rather, “the passageways are seized.” The word translated “passages” is rendered “fords” in Joshua 2:7; Judges 3:28. Herodotus and Xenophon (see references under “their holds,” Jer. 51:30) state that the attackers gained entrance by diverting the water of the river, which flowed through the city, sufficiently to allow troops to enter by way of the river bed.
