エレミヤ書 43:1-13 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:9

Take great stones in thine hand ,.... In both his hands, as big as he could carry: and hide them in the clay in the brick kiln ; there was much clay in Egypt, through the overflowing of the Nile, and particularly at this place Tahpanhes, which had its name of Pelusiae from hence; and here was a brick kiln; not a place where bricks were burnt, but where they were foraged; and so here was the clay of which they were made, and in which these stones were to be hid: which is at the entry... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:10

And say unto them ,.... The men of Judah, now in Egypt: thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; See Gill on Jeremiah 42:15 ; behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant ; as all men are by creation, and as he was in a very eminent sense, being an instrument in his hand of executing his designs, both on the Jews and other nations; him he would send for, and take to perform his counsel; secretly work upon and dispose his mind to such an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:11

And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt ,.... Here is a various reading: the "Cetib", or textual writing, is, "when it cometh, it shall smite"; which Kimchi rightly interprets of the camp or army of Nebuchadnezzar; and the "Keri", or marginal reading, which we follow, is, "when he cometh, he shall smite"; that is, the king of Babylon; both are to be received: when Nebuchadnezzar should come with his army to Tahpanhes, he would not only take that, but go through the land of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:12

And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt ,.... Not only men should not be spared, but their gods also, and their temples should be burnt, as was usually done when cities were taken and destroyed: this is ascribed to God, to his wrath and vengeance; idolatry being a sin highly displeasing to him; though the Chaldeans were the instruments of it, yet it being done by the order, direction, and providence of God, it is rightly attributed to him: and he shall burn them, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:13

He shall break also the images of Bethshemesh, that is in the land of Egypt ,.... Or, "of Heliopolis", as the Septuagint; the "city of the sun"; and so "Bethshemesh" here signifies the "house of the sun"; either it designs the temple of the sun, or the city where it was worshipped; as Heliopolis was famous for the worship of the sun, and for a magnificent temple in it, built for that purpose, and where abundance of persons resorted on that account, as Herodotus F12 Euterpe, sive l. 2.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:6

Men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters - See the note on Jeremiah 41:10 ; (note). It is truly surprising that the Chaldeans should have left behind any of the royal family of Judah! But, Perhaps they knew not there were any. If they did know, they might think, being children of concubines, they could not inherit. Or, 3. That being females, they were not eligible. And they had taken care to seize all Zedekiah's sons, and slay them before his eyes. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:7

Came they even to Tahpanhes - This city was called Daphne by the Greeks, and was situated at the extremity of Lower Egypt, near to Heliopolis. It was called Daphne Pelusiaca. They halted at this place, most probably for the purpose of obtaining the king's permission to penetrate farther into Egypt. It was at this place that, according to St. Jerome, tradition says the faithful Jeremiah was stoned to death by these rebellious wretches; for whose welfare he had watched, prayed, gone through... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:9

Take great stones - This discourse seems to have been delivered about a year after the destruction of Jerusalem. They pretended that they dared not stay in Judea for fear of the Chaldeans. The prophet here assures them that Nebuchadnezzar shall come to Egypt, extend his conquests in that kingdom, and place his tent over the very place where these stones were laid up, and destroy them. How these prophecies were fulfilled, see at the end of Jeremiah 44:30 ; (note). read more
