Jeremiah 43:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 43:9

7 ^aSo they went to the land of Egypt, for they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as ^bTahpanhes.

8 Then the ^aword of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

9 “Take large stones in your hand, and hide them in the sight of the men of Judah, in the¹ clay in the brick courtyard which is at the entrance to Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes;

10 and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Behold, I will send and bring Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, ^aMy servant, and will set his throne above these stones that I have hidden. And he will spread his royal pavilion over them.

11 ^aWhen he comes, he shall strike the land of Egypt and deliver to death ^bthose appointed for death, and to captivity those appointed for captivity, and to the sword those appointed for the sword.

12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of ^athe gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them and carry them away captive. And he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment, and he shall go out from there in peace.

13 He shall also break the sacred pillars of¹ Beth Shemesh that are in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians he shall burn with fire.” ’ ”
