Jeremiah laments the misery of Jerusalem20. He complains thereof to God He has laid waste His tabernacle like a garden The Hebrew word for "tabernacle" is "מִשְׁכָּן" (mishkan), which refers to a dwelling place or sanctuary. In the context of ancient Israel, the tabernacle was the portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites. The imagery of laying waste "like a garden" suggests a complete and utter destruction, akin to a garden that has been neglected and overrun. This metaphor highlights the severity of God's judgment, transforming what was once a place of beauty and divine presence into desolation. Historically, this reflects the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship and symbol of God's presence with His people. He has destroyed His place of meeting The LORD has made Zion forget her appointed feasts and Sabbaths in His fierce anger He has despised both king and priest His places of the assembly.--The noun is the same as that rendered "solemn feasts" in the next clause. The destruction involved the non-observance of all such feasts, as well as of the sabbath. "King and priest," the two representatives of the nation's life (Jeremiah 33:21), were alike, as it seemed, rejected. Verse 6. - Violently taken away; rather, violently treated; i.e. broken up. His tabarnacle; rather, his booth. "Tent" and "dwelling" are interchangeable expressions (see ver. 4); and in the Psalms "booth" is used as a special poetic synonym for tent when God's earthly dwelling place, the sanctuary of the temple, is spoken of (so Psalm 27:5; Psalm 31:20; Psalm 76:2). The Authorized Version, indeed, presumes an allusion to the proper meaning of the Hebrew word, as if the poet compared the sanctuary of Jehovah to a pleasure booth in a garden. It is, however, more natural to continue, as a garden, the sense of which will be clear from Psalm 80:12, 13. The Septuagint has, instead, "as a vine" - a reading which differs from the Massoretic by having one letter more (kaggefen instead of kaggan). This ancient reading is adopted by Ewald, and harmonizes well with Isaiah 5:1, etc.; Jeremiah 2:21 (comp. Psalm 80:8); but the received text gives a very good sense. "Garden" in the Bible means, of course, a plantation of trees rather than a flower garden. His places of the assembly; rather, his place of meeting (with God). The word occurs in the same sense in Psalm 74:3. It is the temple which is meant, and the term is borrowed from the famous phrase, ohel mo'edh (Exodus 27:21; comp. 25:22).Parallel Commentaries ...
