Yirmeyah 43:6 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 43:6

[Even] men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters,

7 So they came into Eretz Mitzrayim; for they obeyed not the voice of Hashem; thus came they even as far as Tahpanhes.

8 Then came the Devar Hashem unto Yirmeyah in Tahpanhes, saying,
