Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
ExplanationCommentary
Verse 15. The heap of new corn. It was the name of a place; in Hebrew, Telabib, ( Challoner.) as the Chal. leaves it ( Menochius.) with the three Greek interpreters. Calmet.—Tel means “a heap,” and abib “new corn.” Bible.—There was no new wheat in the fourth month, but rather in May or June. Calmet. 1:1. Ptolemy places Thelda near the Chaboras.—Mourning; or Prot. “astonished,” like Job’s friends, for people dead in sin. Bible.—Many suppose that he never spoke. Yet this is not certain, (verse 11. Calmet.) though probable from verse 16. Bible.
