Jeremiah 31:39

Compare all

37 Thus says the Lord:
^a“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also ^bcast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the Lord.

38 “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the city shall be built for the Lord ^afrom the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate.

39 ^aThe surveyor’s line shall again extend straight forward over the hill Gareb; then it shall turn toward Goath.

40 And the whole valley of the dead bodies and of the ashes, and all the fields as far as the Brook Kidron, ^ato the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, ^bshall be holy to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or thrown down anymore forever.”

Jeremiah 31:39

Upon the hill Gareb - Gareb and Goath are out of the limits of this city. The latter is supposed to be Golgotha; that is, the heap of Gotha, which, being the place where our Lord was crucified, was without the city. These hills were a little to the north-west of the old city walls: but are destined to be within the new city. See Dr. Blayney on all these verses.
