Jeremias 43:7 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 43:7

So they came into the land of Egypt
They set out from the habitation of Chimham, where they were, ( Jeremiah 41:17 ) ; and proceeded on their journey, till they entered the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord;
to continue in Judea, and not to go into Egypt; and though the prophet of the Lord, who was with them, might, as they went along, advise them to go back, they regarded him not, but still went on: thus came they [even] to Tahpanhes;
the same with Hanes, ( Isaiah 30:4 ) ; and might be so called, as here, from a queen of Egypt of this name, ( 1 Kings 11:19 1 Kings 11:20 ) . The Septuagint version, and others after that, call it Taphnas. It is thought to be the Daphnae Pelusiae of Herodotus ^F6 It was a seat of the king of Egypt, as appeals from ( Jeremiah 43:9 ) ; and no less a place would these proud men stop at, or take up with, but where the king's palace was. Tyrius ^F7 calls it Tapium, and says it was in his time a very small town.

Jeremias 43:7 In-Context

5 E Joanã, filho de Careá, e todos os comandantes do exército levaram todo o remanescente de Judá que tinha voltado de todas as nações para onde haviam sido espalhados a fim de viver na terra de Judá:

6 todos os homens, mulheres e crianças, as filhas do rei, todos os que Nebuzaradã, o comandante da guarda imperial, deixara com Gedalias, filho de Aicam, neto de Safã; além do profeta Jeremias e de Baruque, filho de Nerias.

7 Eles foram para o Egito, desobedecendo ao SENHOR, indo até Tafnes.

8 Em Tafnes, o SENHOR dirigiu a palavra a Jeremias, dizendo:

9 “Pegue algumas pedras grandes e, à vista dos homens de Judá, enterre-as no barro do pavimento à entrada do palácio do faraó, em Tafnes.
