Yēlìmǐshū 35:4 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 35:4

And I brought them into the house of the Lord
Into the temple, as he was ordered; that is, he invited them thither, and they came along with him, having, no doubt, a respect for him as a prophet; and the rather, as it is highly probable he came in the name of the Lord to them: into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of
God;
a prophet, as the Targum and Syriac version; and so Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it. This must be understood of Hanan, and not Igdaliah, as the accents show: he is thought by some to be the same with Hanani the seer, in the times of Asa, ( 2 Chronicles 16:7 ) ; which [was] by the chamber of the princes;
these were not the princes of the blood, the sons of Jehoiachim; their chambers or apartments were not in the temple, but in the royal palace; but these were the princes or rulers of the people, as they are called, ( Acts 4:8 ) ; the sanhedrim, whose this chamber was, as Dr. Lightfoot ^F4 has observed: which [was] above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the
keeper of the door:
a porter, whose chamber or lodge was under that in which the sanhedrim sat. The Targum calls him a treasurer; one of the seven "amarcalim", who had the keys of several chambers, where the vessels of the sanctuary and other things were put; and Kimchi observes, the word we render door comprehends the vessels of the sanctuary, and the vessels of wine, and other things.
