Jeremias 40:11

Listen to Jeremias 40:11
11 Todos os judeus que estavam em Moabe, em Amom, em Edom e em todas as outras terras ouviram que o rei da Babilônia tinha deixado um remanescente em Judá e que havia nomeado Gedalias, filho de Aicam, neto de Safã, governador sobre eles.

Jeremias 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.

Jeremias 40:11 In-Context

9 Gedalias, filho de Aicam, neto de Safã, fez um juramento a eles e aos seus soldados: “Não temam sujeitar-se aos babilônios. Estabeleçam-se na terra, sujeitem-se ao rei da Babilônia, e tudo irá bem para vocês.
10 Eu mesmo permanecerei em Mispá para representá-los diante dos babilônios que vierem a nós. Mas, vocês, façam a colheita das uvas para o vinho, das frutas e das olivas para o azeite, ponham o produto em jarros e vivam nas cidades que vocês ocuparam”.
11 Todos os judeus que estavam em Moabe, em Amom, em Edom e em todas as outras terras ouviram que o rei da Babilônia tinha deixado um remanescente em Judá e que havia nomeado Gedalias, filho de Aicam, neto de Safã, governador sobre eles.
12 Então voltaram de todos os lugares para onde tinham sido espalhados; vieram para a terra de Judá e foram até Gedalias em Mispá. E fizeram uma grande colheita de frutas de verão e de uvas para o vinho.
13 Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes do exército que ainda estavam em campo aberto, foram até Gedalias em Mispá
