jeremiah 46:4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.

jeremiah 46:4 "Harness the horses, And mount the steeds, And take your stand with helmets [on]! Polish the spears, Put on the scale-armor!

4. Harness the horses--namely, to the war chariots, for which Egypt was famed (Ex 14:7; 15:4).
get up, ye horsemen--get up into the chariots. MAURER, because of the parallel "horses," translates, "Mount the steeds." But it is rather describing the successive steps in equipping the war chariots; first harness the horses to them, then let the horsemen mount them.
brigandines--cuirasses, or coats of mail.

jeremiah 46:4 "Harness the horses, And mount the steeds, And take your stand with helmets [on]! Polish the spears, Put on the scale-armor!
