I have spoken to you persistently (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ashkem<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), but you would not listen. Moreover, the LORD constantly (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hashkem<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) sent all his servants the prophets to you, but you would not listen or incline your ears to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eight out of thirteen uses of <\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hashkem<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the Bible are Jeremiah\u2019s, giving it the appearance of a signature term. While it is translated here as constancy and persistence, it literally means to awaken early in the morning, as in one of its best-known appearances: \u201cAbraham awoke early (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vayashkem<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) in the morning, saddled his donkey, took along his two servants and his son Isaac, and set out for the place that God had indicated to him\u201d (Gen. 22:3).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And at the other end of the day, in v.10, Jeremiah warned that all sounds of joy (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kol sason vekol simcha<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) would soon be banished from Judah, epitomizing them as the sounds of grooms and brides (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kol chatan vekol kalah<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) just as he did earlier in 7:34 and 16:9, and as he would, again, in 33:11, making this, too, somewhat of a signature term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In our chapter, however, he added, \u201cthe sound of the mill and the light of the lamp.\u201d What do these signify?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rashi interpreted the sound of the mill as the grinding of medications to treat a circumcised child and the light of the lamp as indicative of a party. Radak concurred in the lamplight but saw the grinding as preparation for a generic festive meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shadal* narrowed the identification of the grindstone to the type that was used by many people in their homes (as opposed to a single industrial one) and designated it: \u201cA sign of civilization.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight:
