(Jer 36:9).
fasting day--(See
Jer 36:9).
An extraordinary fast, in the ninth month (whereas the fast on
the great day of atonement was on the tenth day of the seventh
month,
Le 16:29; 23:27-32),
appointed to avert the impending calamity, when it was feared
Nebuchadnezzar, having in the year before (that is, the fourth of
Jehoiakim), smitten Pharaoh-necho at Carchemish, would attack Judea, as
the ally of Egypt
(2Ki 23:34, 35).
The fast was likely to be an occasion on which Jeremiah would find the
Jews more softened, as well as a larger number of them met
together.
