Jeremiah 13:5

Ver. 5. So I went and hid it by Euphrates,.... Or, "in" {o} it; in a hole of the rock, upon the banks of it:

as the Lord commanded me: all this seems to be done not really, but visionally; it can hardly be thought that Jeremy should be sent on two such long journeys, on such an account, which would take up a considerable time to perform it in; but rather that he went and came in like manner as Ezekiel did, in the visions of God, from Chaldea to Jerusalem, and from thence to Chaldea again, Eze 8:3, and so Maimonaides {p} was of opinion, as Kimchi on the place observes, that all this was done in a vision of prophecy.

{o} trpb "in Euphrate", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin. {p} Moreh Nevochim, par. 2. c. 46. p. 323.
