Jeremiah 49:2. the other to Jerusalem, vers. 22. and because the King of Babel was purposed to go against both, and the Prophets choice of, or pointing the side to which the King should turn at the head of the way, (or crossing of the road) sheweth, his Army should take the way to Jerusalem. Draw out in Prophetick action, upon a tile, or upon the ground, two wayes, coming both from one plain place, to represent Nebuchadnezzars deliberation, where he had gathered his Army; whether he should goe against Jerusalem, or against the land of the Ammonites, which were the two wayes to set upon Egypt, which was the Chaldeans chiefest intent.
