Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 13

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What type of “gartel” is the prophet to acquire?
And, having followed directions, what has become of the gartel (Jeremiah 13:7)?
What is it meant to symbolize (Jeremiah 13:9)?
And why was this particular symbol utilized (Jeremiah 13:11)?
What is the symbolism of the wine flask (Jeremiah 13:12-13)?
Who is the speaker in Jeremiah 13:17 and why the dismay?
And, once more, from whence will the disaster emanate (Jeremiah 13:20)?
What is the “act and consequence” reaffirmed in Jeremiah 13:22?
What very familiar phrase appears in Jeremiah 13:23?
Again, does this particular prophetic statement end with hope or with inevitable disaster?
