Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:1-7

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 43:2

Of Johanan we have before heard, but not of Azariah, unless under the name of Jezaniah, Jeremiah 42:1, but that is uncertain. These men are called proud men, either because they were the great men, or because their conceit of themselves led them into this fatal error. Pride is nothing else but a man’s mind swelling in an opinion of himself, and always takes its rise from some higher ground the person possessed of it thinks he stands upon, and a very little hillock will serve the turn; those who... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 43:1-13

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—Continuous with the preceding.2. National Affairs.—The miserable “remnant” (Jeremiah 43:5-6) left by Nebuchadnezzar, now controlled by wilful men, were led away to Egypt, and reach Tahpanhes (Jeremiah 43:7).3. Contemporaneous History.—Probably, in Egypt, at this very time Pharaoh’s palace was in course of erection; for the mention (Jeremiah 43:9) of the “brick-kiln” and “clay” [i.e. mortar] “at the entry of Pharaoh’s house” implies... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 43:1-13

Chapter 43So it came to pass, when Jeremiah was through speaking to all of the people the words of Jehovah their God, then spake Azariah, and Johanan, and all of the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, You're speaking falsely: Jehovah our God has not sent you to say, Don't go to Egypt to dwell there ( Jeremiah 43:1-2 ):Now here they came and said, "Please pray to God, we beg you, pray to God for us, you know. Whatever God tells us we'll do whether it's good or evil. Please make supplication to God."... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 43:1-13

Jeremiah 43:3 . Baruch setteth thee on against us, in our purpose to seek an asylum in Egypt. Jeremiah’s character as a prophet, having received the seals of providence, they durst not deny him the glory, but artfully threw the blame on Baruch. Jeremiah 43:7 . Tahpanhes, is Pelusium, and called Hanes in Isaiah 30:4. It was the frontier fortress of Egypt, and is now the residence of the court. It is by others called Daphnæ. Jeremiah 43:13 . Bethshemesh, the house of the sun, which... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 43:2

Jer 43:2 Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there: Ver. 2. Then spake Azariah. ] See on Jeremiah 42:1 . And all the proud men. ] Pride is the root of rebellion. See Jeremiah 13:15 .

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:2

THE JOURNEY TO EGYPT, Jeremiah 43:1-7. 2. Azariah See note on Jeremiah 42:1. Possibly the change in the order of the names of Johanan and Azariah or Jezaniah indicates that the latter was the leader in this opposition against the prophet. Johanan now comes before us in a new light. Before we knew him as the friend of Gedaliah and the avenger of his death, but now the opposer and persecutor of Jeremiah. read more
