Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Jeremiah 43:11

Nebuchadnezzar would fight the Egyptians. Those whom the Lord appointed for death would die, those He appointed for captivity would go into captivity, and those He appointed for battle would participate in battle."The meaning of the parable . . . is clear. Though the Judean refugees have buried themselves in populous Egypt, they will be discovered and feel, as their compatriots had done, the weight of Babylonian might."

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 43:9

(9) Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln.—Better, in the mortar on the platform. There seems something incongruous in the idea of a brickkiln, or a place for baking bricks, at the entrance of a royal palace; nor is it easy to see why Nebuchadrezzar should have chosen it as a place for his throne. It seems better, with Hitzig, Furst, and others, to take the Hebrew word, which occurs only here and in 2 Samuel 12:31 and Nahum 3:14, as meaning a structure of... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 43:10

(10) He shall spread his royal pavilion over them.—Here, again, the meaning of the Hebrew word is doubtful. The English Version, as before, follows Luther in taking it for the awning or canopy which was stretched over the throne when the king sat in state as judge. Others (e.g., Hitzig) find in it the leather covering which was placed over the pavement on which the throne was set, upon which the criminal knelt as on a scaffold to receive the death-stroke of the executioner. So taken, the... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Jeremiah 43:1-13

CHAPTER 43 1. The rebellion against Jeremiah (Jeremiah 43:1-7 ) 2. Jeremiah’s prediction about the conquest of Egypt (Jeremiah 43:8-13 ) Jeremiah 43:1-7 . No sooner had Jeremiah finished communicating the divine answer, but the captains and the proud men denounced him. They charged him that he spoke falsely, that all he had said was at the instigation of Baruch, that both were traitors. Then the leaders did not obey the voice of the Lord to dwell in the land; they took the remnant of Judah... read more
