Perhaps, however, it may here denote a flat tile, like a Roman brick, which were commonly used for tablets, as we learn from Pliny, Hist.

"Beginning from 1 Ki 12:33. Ending Jer 52:30." forty days.This represented the forty years during which gross idolatry prevailed in Judah, from the reformation of Josiah, B.C. 624, to the same final desolation of the land. Some think that the period of 390 days also predicts the duration of the siege of the Babylonians, (ver. 9,) deducting from it five months and twenty-nine days, when the besiegers went to meet the Egyptians (2 Ki 25:1-4; Jer 37:5;) and that forty days may have been employed in desolating the temple and city. "Beginning from 2 Ki 23:3, 23. Ending Jer 52:30." each day for a year. Heb. a day for a year, a day for ayear.

This was intended to signify that the captivity was at hand. it may.33:11; De 5:29; 32:29; Ps 81:13; Jer 18:11; 25:4-7; 26:3; 36:3,7Lu 13:8,9,34; 20:13; 2Ti 2:25 at even.12; 2Ki 25:4; Jer 39:4; 52:7they that go forth into.

These prophecies, which were accurately fulfilled, are supposed to have been delivered in the sixth year of Zedekiah, five years before the taking of Jerusalem. cover.1Sa 28:8; 2Sa 15:30; Job 24:17for I.11; 4:3; 24:24; Isa 8:18; 20:2-4 I did so.2:8; 24:18; 37:7,10; Jer 32:8-12; Mt 21:6,7; Mr 14:16; Joh 2:5-8Joh 15:14; Ac 26:19I brought.3-6digged.
