Jer 47:1-7.
英文原文
Jer 47:1-7.
PROPHECY AGAINST THE PHILISTINES.
1. Pharaoh-necho probably smote Gaza on his return after defeating Josiah at Megiddo
(2Ch 35:20)
[GROTIUS]. Or, Pharaoh-hophra
(Jer 37:5, 7)
is intended: probably on his return from his fruitless attempt to save Jerusalem from the Chaldeans, he smote Gaza in order that his expedition might not be thought altogether in vain [CALVIN]
(Am 1:6, 7).

2. 水——
（Isa 8:7）。
來自北方的迦勒底人被比作他們自己幼發拉底河那吞沒一切的河水。擊打迦薩不過是非利士人更大災禍的序曲。尼布甲尼撒攻取耶路撒冷之後，留下尼布撒拉旦去征服鄰近的其餘諸城與鄉村。
英文原文
2. waters--
(Isa 8:7).
The Chaldeans from the north are compared to the overwhelming waters of their own Euphrates. The smiting of Gaza was to be only the prelude of a greater disaster to the Philistines. Nebuzara-dan was left by Nebuchadnezzar, after he had taken Jerusalem, to subdue the rest of the adjoining cities and country.

3. （比較
Jer 4:29。）
父親……不回顧……兒女——各人只顧自己的安全，連父親也不顧念自己的兒女。災禍將如此絕望，以致人要脫去天然的情感。
因手發軟——手——行動的主要工具——將完全失去力量；他們一切的希望只在於雙腳。
英文原文
3. (Compare
Jer 4:29).
fathers . . . not look back to . . . children--Each shall think only of his own safety, not even the fathers regarding their own children. So desperate shall be the calamity that men shall divest themselves of the natural affections.
for feebleness of hands--The hands, the principal instruments of action, shall have lost all power; their whole hope shall be in their feet.

4. 各幫助的——非利士人既與推羅、西頓的腓尼基人為鄰，在遭入侵時自然與他們同陣線。當非利士人被毀時，這些城必不再有幫助者存留。
迦斐托——迦斐托人與非利士人都來自麥西
(創 10:13, 14)。
聖經說非利士人是神從迦斐托趕出來的
(摩 9:7)。
也許在摩西之前，他們住在附近，被迦斐托人征服
(申 2:23)，
隨後得釋放。「所剩的」在此指埃及人攻擊迦薩與巴勒斯坦之後所留下的人；或更恰當地說，指迦勒底人攻擊非利士人之前先攻擊迦斐托人之後所留下的迦斐托人。有人將迦斐托等同於加帕多加；GESENIUS 等同於克里特
(結 25:16
基利提人)；KITTO 等同於居比路。在巴勒斯坦與以東之間有一城叫卡帕爾薩；他們一方面與巴勒斯坦關係密切，另一方面與埃及（麥西
創 10:13, 14）
關係密切，使這個地點最為可能。
英文原文
4. every helper--The Philistines, being neighbors to the Phœnicians of Tyre and Sidon, would naturally make common cause with them in the case of invasion. These cities would have no helper left when the Philistines should be destroyed.
Caphtor--the Caphtorim and Philistines both came from Mizraim
(Ge 10:13, 14).
The Philistines are said to have been delivered by God from Caphtor
(Am 9:7).
Perhaps before the time of Moses they dwelt near and were subjugated by the Caphtorim
(De 2:23)
and subsequently delivered. "The remnant" means here those still left after the Egyptians had attacked Gaza and Palestine; or rather, those left of the Caphtorim after the Chaldeans had attacked them previous to their attack on the Philistines. Some identify Caphtor with Cappadocia; GESENIUS, with Crete
(Eze 25:16,
Cherethims); KITTO, Cyprus. Between Palestine and Idumea there was a city Caparorsa; and their close connection with Palestine on the one hand, and Egypt (Mizraim,
Ge 10:13, 14)
on the other hand, makes this locality the most likely.

5. 禿頭……劃身——巴勒斯坦被描繪為一個扯掉頭髮、割傷皮肉的女子——這是異教的
(利 19:28)
哀悼記號
(耶 48:37)。
其谷——非利士人沿地中海、猶大山脈以西所佔據的狹長低平地帶。七十士譯本讀作亞衲族人，其殘餘者定居於那些地區
(民 13:28)。
約書亞將他們逐出，以致除了迦薩、迦特、亞實突之外別無存留
(書 11:21, 22)。
但對仗的
(耶 47:7)
「亞實基倫……海邊」確立了英文譯本此處的「亞實基倫……其谷」。
英文原文
5. Baldness . . . cut thyself--Palestine is represented as a female who has torn off her hair and cut her flesh, the heathenish
(Le 19:28)
token of mourning
(Jer 48:37).
their valley--the long strip of low plain occupied by the Philistines along the Mediterranean, west of the mountains of Judea. The Septuagint reads Anakim, the remains of whom were settled in those regions
(Nu 13:28).
Joshua dislodged them so that none were left but in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod
(Jos 11:21, 22).
But the parallel
(Jer 47:7),
"Ashkelon . . . the sea-shore," established English Version here, "Ashkelon . . . their valley."

6. 耶利米以非利士人自表哀傷的身分（Jer 47:5），向「耶和華的刀」發出呼告，懇求憐憫（參 De 32:41；Eze 21:3-5、9、10）。
收刀入鞘——希伯來文作「聚集你自己」，即退去或回轉。
英文原文
6. Jeremiah, in the person of the Philistines afflicting themselves
(Jer 47:5),
apostrophizes the "sword of the Lord," entreating mercy (compare
De 32:41; Eze 21:3-5, 9, 10).
up thyself--Hebrew, "Gather thyself," that is, retire or return.

7. 耶利米從以第二人稱稱呼刀劍，轉而面向聽眾，以第三人稱論及它。
主……已經吩咐它——
(Eze 14:17)。
海旁——即山嶺與地中海之間、非利士人所佔的狹長地帶：「他們的谷」（見
Jer 47:5
之註解）。
在那裏他已經派定它——
(Mic 6:9)。
即在那裏祂已命定它肆虐。
英文原文
7. Jeremiah, from addressing the sword in the second person, turns to his hearers and speaks of it in the third person.
Lord . . . given it a charge--
(Eze 14:17).
the sea-shore--the strip of land between the mountains and Mediterranean, held by the Philistines: "their valley" (see on
Jer 47:5).
there hath he appointed it--
(Mic 6:9).
There hath He ordered it to rage.
Jer 47:1-7.
反對非利士人的預言
1. 法老尼哥大概是在米吉多擊敗約西亞之後，回程時擊打迦薩
（2Ch 35:20）
〔GROTIUS〕。或作法老合弗拉
（Jer 37:5, 7）：
大概在他試圖營救耶路撒冷脫離迦勒底人之手而無功而返後，擊打迦薩，免得他的遠征被視為全然徒勞〔CALVIN〕
（Am 1:6, 7）。
