Context

The Linen Loincloth

⁴“Take the loincloth that you bought and are wearing, and go at once to Perath and hide it there in a crevice of the rocks.”⁵So I went and hid it at Perath, as the LORD had commanded me.

Summary

In this verse, God instructs Jeremiah to hide a linen belt in a crevice of a rock near the Euphrates River. The linen belt symbolizes the close relationship between God and His people, just as a belt is worn close to the body. By burying the belt and allowing it to become ruined and worthless, God illustrates how the people's disobedience and idolatry will lead to their ruin and worthlessness. This visual prophecy serves as a warning of the consequences of forsaking God and breaking the covenant relationship with Him.

John Gill Bible Commentary

So I went and hid it by Euphrates,.... Or, "in" (o) it; in a hole of the rock, upon the banks of it: as the Lord commanded me: all this seems to be done not really, but visionally; it can hardly be thought that Jeremy should be sent on two such long journeys, on such an account, which would take up a considerable time to perform it in; but rather that he went and came in like manner as Ezekiel did, in the visions of God, from Chaldea to Jerusalem, and from thence to Chaldea again, Eze 8:3, and so Maimonaides (p) was of opinion, as Kimchi on the place observes, that all this was done in a vision of prophecy. (o) "in Euphrate", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, Calvin. (p) Moreh Nevochim, par. 2. c. 46. p. 323.
