It is, perhaps, not without significance in connection with this passage, that when the city was restored, the region above the "horse-gate" was repaired by the priests, who seem to have had their houses in that quarter (<a href="/context/nehemiah/3-28.htm" title="From above the horse gate repaired the priests, every one over against his house.">Nehemiah 3:28-29</a>).

It is assumed by most that Jeremiah means the valley of Hinnom, which, after its defilement by Josiah (<a href="/2_kings/23-10.htm">2 Kings 23:10</a>), had become a receptacle of rubbish and offal. It is, however, against this view that the word for "valley" is not gai (elsewhere connected with Hinnom), but emek, i.e. "deep lying plain." The "dead bodies" are the corpses of men and animals, destroyed by the judgment of God, and lying unburied; but where, seems uncertain. Ashes. Wood ashes are not here meant, but those of flesh and fat, which remained after the burning of a sacrificial victim (see <a href="/leviticus/1-16.htm">Leviticus 1:16</a>; and comp. 4:12).
