Jeremiah 31:40 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The valley — A valley, so called from the multitude of Sennacherib's army slain there. Of the ashes — So called from the ashes of the sacrifices carried thither. Holy — All these places shall be parts of the holy city, and God's name shall be sanctified, and he shall be worshipped in them all. For ever — If we interpret the word for ever of a perpetuity, the church of God must here be understood, against which the gates of hell shall never prevail.

Jeremiah 31:40

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields unto the brook of Kidron, unto the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy unto the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
