TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:1 Jeremiah’s parents lived in the tribal area of Benjamin, a narrow strip of land oriented east to west a few miles north of Jerusalem. Amos had lived in Tekoa, about twelve miles south of Jerusalem (Amos 1:1).
• Beth-hakkerem was about three miles south of Jerusalem, overlooking Bethlehem.
