| if ye say, &c.--avowed rebellion against God, who had often (Deu 17:16), as now, forbidden their going to Egypt, lest they should be entangled in its idolatry. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The threatening if, in spite of warning and against God's will, they should still persist in going to Egypt. The protasis of the conditional sentence begun in Jer 42:13, "If ye say," etc., extends onwards through Jer 42:14; the apodosis is introduced co-ordinately with the commencement of Jer 42:15, "Now therefore," etc. קול שׁופר, "the sound of war-trumpet," as in Jer 4:19. On "hungering after bread," cf. Amo 8:11. הלחם (with the article) is the bread necessary for life. "The remnant of Judah" is to be understood of those who still remained in the land, as is shown by Jer 42:2; see also Jer 42:19, Jer 43:5; Jer 44:12, Jer 44:14. The warning given in Jer 42:16 contains the idea that the very evil which they feared would come on them in Judah will befall them in Egypt. There they shall perish by sword, famine, and plague, since Nebuchadnezzar will conquer Egypt; cf. Jer 43:8-13. |
16 But he shall not multiply [07235] horses [05483] to himself, nor cause the people [05971] to return [07725] to Egypt [04714], to the end that he should multiply [07235] horses [05483]: forasmuch as the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto you, Ye shall henceforth [03254] return [07725] no more that way [01870].
8 Then came the word [01697] of the LORD [03068] unto Jeremiah [03414] in Tahpanhes [08471], saying [0559],
9 Take [03947] great [01419] stones [068] in thine hand [03027], and hide [02934] them in the clay [04423] in the brickkiln [04404], which is at the entry [06607] of Pharaoh's [06547] house [01004] in Tahpanhes [08471], in the sight [05869] of the men [0582] of Judah [03064];
10 And say [0559] unto them, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; Behold, I will send [07971] and take [03947] Nebuchadrezzar [05019] the king [04428] of Babylon [0894], my servant [05650], and will set [07760] his throne [03678] upon [04605] these stones [068] that I have hid [02934]; and he shall spread [05186] his royal pavilion [08237] over them.
11 And when he cometh [0935], he shall smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and deliver such as are for death [04194] to death [04194]; and such as are for captivity [07628] to captivity [07628]; and such as are for the sword [02719] to the sword [02719].
12 And I will kindle [03341] a fire [0784] in the houses [01004] of the gods [0430] of Egypt [04714]; and he shall burn [08313] them, and carry them away captives [07617]: and he shall array [05844] himself with the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], as a shepherd [07462] putteth on [05844] his garment [0899]; and he shall go forth [03318] from thence in peace [07965].
13 He shall break [07665] also the images [04676] of Bethshemesh [01053], that is in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; and the houses [01004] of the gods [0430] of the Egyptians [04714] shall he burn [08313] with fire [0784].
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword [02719], which ye feared [03373], shall overtake [05381] you there in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], and the famine [07458], whereof ye were afraid [01672], shall follow close [01692] after [0310] you there in Egypt [04714]; and there ye shall die [04191].
14 So that none of the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], which are gone [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, shall escape [06412] or remain [08300], that they should return [07725] into the land [0776] of Judah [03063], to the which they have [05375] a desire [05315] to return [07725] to dwell [03427] there: for none shall return [07725] but such as shall escape [06405].
12 And I will take [03947] the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], that have set [07760] their faces [06440] to go [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] to sojourn [01481] there, and they shall all be consumed [08552], and fall [05307] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714]; they shall even be consumed [08552] by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458]: they shall die [04191], from the least [06996] even unto the greatest [01419], by the sword [02719] and by the famine [07458]: and they shall be an execration [0423], and an astonishment [08047], and a curse [07045], and a reproach [02781].
5 But Johanan [03110] the son [01121] of Kareah [07143], and all the captains [08269] of the forces [02428], took [03947] all the remnant [07611] of Judah [03063], that were returned [07725] from all nations [01471], whither they had been driven [05080], to dwell [01481] in the land [0776] of Judah [03063];
19 The LORD [03068] hath said [01696] concerning you, O ye remnant [07611] of Judah [03063]; Go [0935] ye not into Egypt [04714]: know [03045] certainly [03045] that I have admonished [05749] you this day [03117].
2 And said [0559] unto Jeremiah [03414] the prophet [05030], Let, we beseech thee, our supplication [08467] be accepted [05307] before [06440] thee, and pray [06419] for us unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], even for all this remnant [07611]; (for we are left [07604] but a few [04592] of many [07235], as thine eyes [05869] do behold [07200] us:)
11 Behold, the days [03117] come [0935], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that I will send [07971] a famine [07458] in the land [0776], not a famine [07458] of bread [03899], nor a thirst [06772] for water [04325], but of hearing [08085] the words [01697] of the LORD [03068]:
19 My bowels [04578], my bowels [04578]! I am pained [02342] [03176] at my very [07023] heart [03820]; my heart [03820] maketh a noise [01993] in me; I cannot hold my peace [02790], because thou hast heard [08085], O my soul [05315], the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], the alarm [08643] of war [04421].
15 And now therefore hear [08085] the word [01697] of the LORD [03068], ye remnant [07611] of Judah [03063]; Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635], the God [0430] of Israel [03478]; If ye wholly [07760] set [07760] your faces [06440] to enter [0935] into Egypt [04714], and go [0935] to sojourn [01481] there;
14 Saying [0559], No; but we will go [0935] into the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], where we shall see [07200] no war [04421], nor hear [08085] the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782], nor have hunger [07456] of bread [03899]; and there will we dwell [03427]:
13 But if ye say [0559], We will not dwell [03427] in this land [0776], neither obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] your God [0430],
