Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 43:3

Baruch was but a clerk or secretary to Jeremiah, so not very probable to overrule the prophet to a falsifying of his trust, and a betraying of his countrymen into the hands of their enemies; but so fond are wicked men of their lusts, that they will say any thing in justification of them, rather than deny themselves in them, and become obedient to the will of God. 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.

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 Complete Commentary - Jeremiah 43:3

Jer 43:3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon. Ver. 3. But Baruch, the son of Neriah, setteth thee on against us. ] A likely matter. What should Baruch gain by that? but malice careth not how truly or rationally it speaketh or acteth, so it may gall or kill Jeremiah and Baruch must be said to be in league together, and to collude for a common... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 43:3

3. Baruch… setteth thee on Why Baruch is given this offensive pre-eminence does not appear. He was probably a younger man than Jeremiah, and was to some extent the medium of his communications. He may thus have given offence, and may have infused into the messages something of his own ardour and zeal. read more
