Notes

Jeremiah 13:3–5

The Euphrates River is 300 miles north of Jerusalem. Jeremiah likely joined a merchant caravan for safety during the 600-mile round trip. Although Jeremiah did not know why he was going, he followed God's instructions.

Jeremiah 13:1–14

The Lord instructed Jeremiah to perform a parable (see also Jeremiah 18, 19, 27; see “Prophetic Sign Acts” Theme Note). This parable combined actions with words to highlight key aspects of the Lord’s response to Judah’s rebellion. Jeremiah struggled to fully understand the severe consequences of rejecting the Lord’s command for the people to worship him as the one true God. The direct relationship between Jeremiah and the Lord provided the basis for this event.
