By the entry of the east gate— According to others, The entry of the potter's gate; which seems to be the best reading, as it denotes that gate, through which the potters who made the vessels for the use of the temple, in its neighbourhood, carried out the fragments of their broken vessels. The context, Jeremiah 19:10; Jeremiah 19:14. Jeremiah 18:2 and Zechariah 11:13 confirm this conjecture; besides which, we may add, that the valley of Hinnom and the brook Cedron were near the temple; that the potters lived, within that gate which led thither, and that they carried their rubbish out of that gate. See Grotius, and Houbigant.
