jeremiah 36:22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with [a fire] burning in the brazier before him.

22. winter house-- (Am 3:15).
ninth month--namely, of the religious year, that is, November or December.
fire on . . . hearth--rather, the stove was burning before him. In the East neither chimneys nor ovens are used, but, in cold weather, a brazen vessel containing burning charcoal; when the wood has burned to embers, a cover is placed over the pot to make it retain the heat.

jeremiah 36:22 Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with [a fire] burning in the brazier before him.
