Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 19

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. What symbol is to be utilized by the prophet for his message?
  2. Where is Gai Ben Hinom (and how has this phrase been utilized in recent times by some for a non-geographic reference related to post-mortem)?
  3. In his message, is the prophet to be soothing (Jeremiah 19:3-9)? In what scroll do these verses echo and when is it read?
  4. In confirmation of the prophecy, what is the symbolic action of the prophet (Jeremiah 19:10)?
  5. Jeremiah 19:14-15 are in the third person. Might this indicate a supplement to the chapter written at a later date? Is this an editorial technique?
