Jeremiah 7:18 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

To the queen of heaven— The queen of heaven was the moon; the same as Astarte or Ashtaroth. The prophet here describes the whole family as busied in preparing their sacrifices and superstitious rites to this idol. Houbigant renders the words other gods, very properly, by strange gods; and Jeremiah 7:19. Do they aggrieve me, saith the Lord, and not themselves [rather], to the confusion of their own faces?

Jeremiah 7:18

18 The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queena of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.
