Jeremias 40:8 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 40:8

Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah
Having heard that the Chaldean army was gone, and so were in no fear of that; and also that Gedaliah was made deputy governor, one of their own nation, a pious, prudent, good man, a man of ingenuity, mildness, and integrity; under whose government they might expect to live comfortably; and which was much preferable to captivity in a foreign country, though tributary to Babylon: even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah;
who was of the seed royal, ( Jeremiah 41:1 ) ; and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah;
two brothers, but who they were, or their father, is not known, no mention being made of them but in this story: and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth;
who he was is also uncertain: and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite;
so called from Netophah, a city of the tribe of Judah near Bethlehem, and are mentioned together, ( Ezra 2:22 ) ( Nehemiah 7:26 ) ; the Netophathites inhabited several villages, ( 1 Chronicles 9:16 ) ; mention is made in the Misnic F20 writings of artichokes and olives this place was famous for: and Jezaniah the son of a Maachathite;
a family so called from Maacah, Caleb's concubine, ( 1 Chronicles 2:48 ) ; they and their men;
these generals, and the forces under their command.

Jeremias 40:8 In-Context

6 Jeremias foi a Gedalias, filho de Aicam, em Mispá, e permaneceu com ele entre o povo que foi deixado na terra de Judá.
7 Havia comandantes do exército que ainda estavam em campo aberto com os seus soldados. Eles ouviram que o rei da Babilônia tinha nomeado Gedalias, filho de Aicam, governador de Judá e o havia encarregado dos homens, das mulheres, das crianças e dos mais pobres da terra que não tinham sido deportados para a Babilônia.
8 Então foram até Gedalias, em Mispá: Ismael, filho de Netanias, Joanã e Jônatas, filhos de Careá, Seraías, filho de Tanumete, os filhos de Efai, de Netofate, e Jazanias, filho do maacatita, juntamente com os seus soldados.
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”.
