耶利米书 42:11 RCUVSS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Before going forward, Johanan and those associated with him, gathered to Jeremiah, and asked that he pray for them and seek divine guidance. He consented at once to their request, and they promised obedience to whatever command was laid upon them. Ten days elapsed, and then Jeremiah delivered the message of the Lord in answer to Johanan. It was a distinct command to remain in the land, and not to go into Egypt. Divine protection was promised them if they were obedient, but they were warned... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 42:1-22

The Refugees Seek YHWH’s Guidance Through Jeremiah But On Receiving It Reject It Because It Does Not Fit In With Their Inclinations With The Consequence That Jeremiah Prophesies Judgment Against Them (Jeremiah 42:1 to Jeremiah 43:13 ). That Judah had still not learned its lesson comes out in that on receiving the word of YHWH from Jeremiah they immediately reject it and determine to follow their own inclinations. We have here a reproduction in miniature of the whole history of Israel. They... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 42:7-22

Jeremiah Brings To The People The Word Of YHWH (Jeremiah 42:7-22 ). The break of ten days during which Jeremiah waited on YHWH brings out the importance of what is to be said. The run of cultic prophets spoke spontaneously, having stirred themselves up into ecstasy, but this was no spontaneous word from Jeremiah. He had to wait on YHWH for the genuine word of YHWH. The wait would meanwhile leave the people feeling uneasy in the light of the impending threat of Nebuchadrezzar. It suggests that... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Jeremiah 42:1 to Jeremiah 43:7 . The Migration into Egypt.— Jeremiah is asked by the leaders ( Jeremiah 42:1 mg., with LXX) and the people to seek Yahweh’ s guidance, which they solemnly ( Jeremiah 42:5 mg.) promise to follow ( Jeremiah 42:1-Joshua :). After ten days, the Divine revelation comes to the prophet and is communicated to the people, to the effect that they are to remain in Judah, where Yahweh promises to protect them from the Babylonians; their hope of prosperity in Egypt will... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 42:11

I know whom you are afraid of; you fear that the king of Babylon will come and utterly root you out, because one of your nation hath murdered his viceroy Gedaliah: suffer not your passion of fear to rise too high in this case, and to make you flee into Egypt; for you shall have my presence with you, to preserve and deliver you from his power, it shall not be in his power to do you any harm. read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 42:1-22

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—Chronology as in previous chapter. Observe: Jeremiah and Baruch had been among the captives of Ishmael, whom Johanan rescued (chap. Jeremiah 43:6).State of the Nation.—The preceding chapter reveals the baseness of the “royal seed” and the infatuation of the people’s latest leader. This chapter discloses the obstinacy of the people “from the least to the greatest” in disobeying God’s purpose and in dissembling their prayers. Thus, all God’s chastisements leaves... read more

Now pray to the Lord your God for us."That the LORD [or Jehovah] thy God may show us the way... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 42:1-22

Jeremiah 42:1 . Then came all the captains of the forces. שׂרי sari, the princes of the army. Johanan and Jezaniah are for dignity named last, because they were of royal blood. All the people, be their number more or less, attended also: their hopes and interests were now at stake. Those princes knew well the law, that God must be consulted; such also was the law of heathen nations. Nor would the eager people be satisfied without an oracle. The sanctuary being destroyed, they had no... read more
