Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Stuff - Raiment, vessels, and the like. The "removing" was to be of the kind that accompanied exile. The whole account of this transaction marks it as a real act. The prophet was to be "a sign" to his countrymen, and the "exiles" as well as those that remained in Judaea had need to be taught this lesson, for though themselves far away, they looked to Jerusalem as their home, and were scarcely less eager for its safety than the inhabitants themselves. |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Stuff - Vessels or instruments, wherein thou mayest put what is portable. |
Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Prepare thee stuff for removing - Get carriages to transport thy goods to another place; signifying by this the captivity that was at hand. |
