Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.

Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

"whom Jehovah has appointed", what seest thou?

And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.


rod of iron? rod of an almond tree?   right hand left hand...rod in right hand...rod switch to left...rod in both hands...son of the right hand...????????????? can't tell left hand from right hand? (book of Jonah) goats on one side sheep on the other...They were saved in the book of Jonah because they couldn't tell which is which..???

The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that [were] in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

Benjamin was taught to fight left handed...use both hands in battle..

don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing?

A rod of an almond tree - Many translate "a staff of almond wood." The vision would thus signify that God - like a traveler, staff in hand - was just about to set forth upon His journey of vengeance. But the rendering of the King James Version is supported by Genesis 30:37. The word rendered "almond" comes from a root signifying "to be awake;" and as the almond blossoms in January, it seems to be awake while other trees are still Sleeping, and therefore is a fit emblem of activity.

Rod....interesting.

Psalm 23:4
Yea thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.  They ROD and thy staff comfort me.
