▦Jeremiah 13:1New

This chapter's belt sign-act is the first of several physical, enacted prophecies in Jeremiah - the message performed bodily, not only spoken.

↔ Rabbi noticed a connection

Acts 21:11, "he took Paul's belt, and bound his own feet and hands, and said, 'Thus says the Holy Spirit'" - the same kind of enacted prophecy, performed here with Paul's own belt.

Jeremiah 13:1 · WEB

Yahweh said to me, “Go, and buy yourself a linen belt, and put it on your waist, and don’t put it in water.”

Acts 21:11 · WEB

Coming to us, and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
