That there came certain from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fourscore men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.
Llegaron unos hombres de tres ciudades diferentes: Siquem, Silo y Samaria. Eran ochenta en total. Se habían afeitado las barbas, rasgado sus ropas y se habían cortado como señales de dolor. Traían ofrendas de grano e incienso porque querían llevarlas al templo de Dios.
Ochenta hombres de tres ciudades llegaron con señales de duelo, trayendo ofrendas para el templo de Dios.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Jeremiah, this verse is set during a time of great turmoil in Judah following the Babylonian conquest and the assassination of Gedaliah, the appointed governor. People from cities like Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria were traveling to the Temple in Jerusalem to offer sacrifices, engaging in mourning rituals such as shaving their beards, tearing their clothes, and cutting themselves, which were common practices in ancient Near Eastern cultures to express grief and devotion amid national disaster. This reflects the deep religious fervor and desperation of the people as they sought God in the midst of political chaos and impending exile.
