TSNTyndale Study Notes:

38:6 In the presence of everyone in the palace courtyard, Jeremiah was thrown into an empty cistern. At the bottom was a thick layer of mud that slowly enveloped Jeremiah’s body.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

(Occurrence 0) they … threw him into the cistern

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* and,threw DOM=him/it to/towards the,cistern Malchiah son_of the=king which/who in/on/at/with,courtyard the,guard and,let_~_down DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,ropes and,in/on/at/with,cistern not waters that/for/because/then/when if mud and,sank Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,mud )

They literally “lowered Jeremiah down on ropes,” but the word “threw” is an exaggeration to say that they treated him roughly. Your language may have another way of saying this. Alternate translation: “they … roughly pushed him into the cistern”

(Occurrence 0) cistern

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* and,threw DOM=him/it to/towards the,cistern Malchiah son_of the=king which/who in/on/at/with,courtyard the,guard and,let_~_down DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,ropes and,in/on/at/with,cistern not waters that/for/because/then/when if mud and,sank Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,mud )

a deep hole in the ground where people collect and store rain water

(Occurrence 0) the courtyard of the guard

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* and,threw DOM=him/it to/towards the,cistern Malchiah son_of the=king which/who in/on/at/with,courtyard the,guard and,let_~_down DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,ropes and,in/on/at/with,cistern not waters that/for/because/then/when if mud and,sank Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,mud )

This was an open area attached to the king’s palace that was surrounded by buildings and in which they kept prisoners. See how you translated this in Jeremiah 32:2.

(Occurrence 0) They lowered Jeremiah down on ropes

(Some words not found in UHB: and=they_took DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* and,threw DOM=him/it to/towards the,cistern Malchiah son_of the=king which/who in/on/at/with,courtyard the,guard and,let_~_down DOM Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,ropes and,in/on/at/with,cistern not waters that/for/because/then/when if mud and,sank Yirmə\sup yāh\sup* in/on/at/with,mud )

This tells how “they threw him into the cistern.”
