Jeremías 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.

Jeremías 40:11 In-Context

9 GedalĂ­as les jurĂł que los babilonios
no querían hacerles ningún daño. «No tengan miedo de servirles. Vivan en la tierra y sirvan al rey de Babilonia, y todo les irá bien —les prometió—.
10 En cuanto a mí, permaneceré en Mizpa para representarlos a ustedes ante los babilonios cuando vengan a reunirse con nosotros. Establézcanse en las ciudades que han tomado y vivan de la tierra. Cosechen las uvas, los frutos de verano y los olivos, y almacénenlos».
11 Cuando los judíos que se encontraban en Moab, Amón, Edom y en los otros países cercanos oyeron que el rey de Babilonia había dejado un puñado de gente en Judá y que Gedalías era el gobernador,
12 comenzaron a regresar a Judá de los lugares adonde habían huido. Se detuvieron en Mizpa para encontrarse con Gedalías y luego se fueron a los campos de Judá para recoger una gran cosecha de uvas y de otros cultivos.
13 Complot contra GedalĂ­as
Poco tiempo después, Johanán, hijo de Carea, y los otros líderes guerrilleros fueron a ver a Gedalías en Mizpa.
