Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 52:24 In-Context

22 Y había sobre ella un capitel de bronce; la altura de cada capitel era de cinco codos, con una malla y granadas sobre el capitel, rodeándolo, todo de bronce. Y la segunda columna era igual, con las granadas.
23 Y había noventa y seis granadas que pendían; el total de las granadas era de cien en la malla alrededor.
24 Entonces el capitán de la guardia tomó a Seraías, el principal sacerdote, y a Sofonías, el segundo sacerdote, y a los tres oficiales del templo.
25 También tomó de la ciudad a un oficial que estaba encargado de los hombres de guerra, a siete de los consejeros del rey que se hallaban en la ciudad, al escriba del comandante del ejército que reclutaba al pueblo de la tierra, y a sesenta hombres del pueblo que se hallaban dentro de la ciudad.
26 Nabuzaradán, capitán de la guardia, los tomó y los llevó al rey de Babilonia en Ribla.
