Geremia 40:11 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 40:11

Likewise, when all the Jews that [were] in Moab
Who had fled thither, and to the places after mentioned, when the king of Babylon first invaded the land, and where they had continued unto this time: and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that [were] in all the
countries;
in all other neighbouring countries, besides Moab, Ammon, and Edom; some fleeing one way, and some another, which lay nearest to their borders, or where they thought themselves safest: when they heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah;
a few of their brethren, to cultivate the land, and repopulated it: and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of
Shaphan;
whom they knew to be a wise and good man; these were engaging motives to them to return to their own land, being more desirable to live in than any other, could they enjoy peace and safety; and to dwell with their brethren, their own countrymen, and of the same religion with them, was more eligible than to dwell in foreign idolatrous countries; and especially since there was a government established to protect and defend them, and that in the hands of so worthy a prince as Gedaliah.

Geremia 40:11 In-Context

9 E Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahicam, figliuolo di Safan, giurò loro, ed alla lor gente, dicendo: Non temiate di servire a’ Caldei; abitate nel paese, e servite al re di Babilonia, e sarà ben per voi.
10 E quant’è a me, ecco, io dimoro in Mispa, per presentarmi davanti a’ Caldei, che verranno a noi; ma voi ricogliete il vino, i frutti della state, e l’olio, e riponeteli ne’ vostri vaselli, ed abitate nelle vostre città che avete occupate.
11 Parimente ancora tutti i Giudei, che erano in Moab, e fra i figliuoli di Ammon, ed in Edom, e quelli ch’erano in qualunque altro paese, avendo inteso che il re di Babilonia aveva lasciato qualche rimanente a Giuda, e che aveva costituito sopra essi Ghedalia, figliuolo di Ahicam, figliuolo di Safan,
12 se ne ritornarono da tutti i luoghi, dove erano stati dispersi, e vennero nel paese di Giuda, a Ghedalia, in Mispa; e ricolsero vino, e frutti della state, in molto grande abbondanza.
13 Or Giohanan, figliuolo di Carea, e tutti i capi della gente di guerra, che erano per la campagna, vennero a Ghedalia, in Mispa;
