When Jeremiah was entered into the dungeon,.... Or, "into the house of the pit" (l); a dungeon, like a pit or ditch, dark, dirty, or dismal:
and into the cabins; or "cells" (m); into a place more inward than the cells, as the Targum; into the innermost and worst part in all the prison, where a man could not well lie, sit, nor stand:
and Jeremiah had remained there many days; in this very uncomfortable condition; very probably till the Chaldean army returned to Jerusalem, as he foretold it should.
(l) אל בית הבור "in, [vel] ad domum laci", Pagninus, Montanus; "in domum foveae", Schmidt. (m) ואל החניות "et in cellulas illius", Junius Tremellius, Piscator "et ad cellas", Schmidt.
