보라, 내가 큰 연합국으로 북방에서 일어나 나와서 바벨론을 치게 하리니 그들이 항오를 벌이고 쳐서 취할 것이라 그들의 화살은 연숙한 용사의 화살 같아서 헛되이 돌아오지 아니하리로다
예레미야서 50:9
Gilead, Mount
Gilead, as in Genesis 31:21, 23, was a boundary of the land of Canaan. In the spiritual sense, it means "the good that comes first, which is that of the bodily senses, for it is the good or delight of the senses that a person who is being regenerated is introduced into first of all. This is the sense in which 'Gilead' is taken in the Prophets, as in Jeremiah 8:52; 22:6; 46:11; 50:19; Ezekiel 47:18; Obadiah 1:19; Micah 7:14; Zechariah 10:10; Psalm 60:7; and, in the opposite sense, in Hosea 6:8; 12:11.
