Jeremias 52:24 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:24

And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest,
&c.] That is, out of the temple, where he was ministering, or fled for safety; this is supposed to be the father of Ezra, ( 1 Chronicles 6:14 ) ( Ezra 7:1 ) ; and Zephaniah the second priest:
or deputy priest: the "sagan" of the priests, as the Targum calls him, who was deputed to minister for the high priest, in case anything happened which hindered him from officiating; such an one there always was in later times on the day of atonement, as appears from the Misna F6; this man is thought to be the same with Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, ( Jeremiah 21:1 ) ( 29:25 ) ; and the three keepers of the door;
that is, of the temple. The Targum calls them three "amarcalin"; who had, as Jarchi says, the keys of the court committed to them. The number seems better to agree with the "gizbarim" or treasurers; of whom, it is said, they never appoint less than three treasurers, and seven "amarcalin" F7.

Jeremias 52:24 In-Context

22 E havia sobre ela um capitel de bronze; e a altura dum capitel era de cinco côvados, com uma rede e romãs sobre o capitel ao redor, tudo de bronze; e a segunda coluna tinha as mesmas coisas com as romãs.
23 E havia noventa e seis romãs aos lados; as romãs todas, sobre a rede ao redor eram cem.
24 Levou também o capitão da guarda a Seraías, o principal sacerdote, e a Sofonias, o segundo sacerdote, e os três guardas da porta;
25 e da cidade levou um oficial que tinha a seu cargo os homens de guerra; e a sete homens dos que assistiam ao rei e que se achavam na cidade; como também o escrivão-mor do exército, que registrava o povo da terra; e mais sessenta homens do povo da terra que se achavam no meio da cidade.
26 Tomando-os pois Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, levou-os ao rei de Babilônia, a Ribla.
