Lamentations 2:6 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. His tabernacle - rather, 'He hath violently taken away His hedge (the hedge of the place sacred to Him, Psalms 80:12; Psalms 89:40; Isaiah 5:5), as that of a garden' (Maurer). Calvin supports the English version, 'He hath violently taken away His tabernacle (i:e., temple) as (one would take away the temporary cottage or booth) of a garden.' Isaiah 1:8 accords with this (Job 27:18).

He hath destroyed his places of ... assembly - the temple and synagogues (Psalms 74:7-8). The solemn feasts ... to be forgotten - (Lamentations 1:4).

[Zayin (z)]
