Jer 43, 1-13

1 Then it happened that, when Jeremiah had finished speaking all the words of the Lord their God to the people, all those words concerning which the Lord their God had sent him to them, 2 Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the exalted men, spoke to Jeremiah, saying: “You are speaking a lie! The Lord our God has not sent you to say: ‘You shall not enter into Egypt so as to live in that place.’ 3 Instead, Baruch, the son of Neriah, has incited you against us, so as to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to put us to death and to cause us to be led away into Babylon.” 4 And so Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, and all the people, did not heed the voice of the Lord to remain in the land of Judah. 5 But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of the warriors, took away all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations (to which they had been scattered before) to live in the land of Judah: 6 men, and women, and children, and the daughters of the king, and every soul that Nebuzaradan, the leader of the military, had left behind with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah, the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah. 7 And they entered into the land of Egypt. For they did not obey the voice of the Lord. And they went as far as Tahpanhes. 8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, saying: 9 “Take great stones in your hand, and you shall conceal them in the crypt which is under the brick wall at the gate of the house of Pharaoh at Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah. 10 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them. 11 And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword. 12 And he will kindle a fire in the shrines of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them down, and he will lead them away captive. And he will clothe himself with the land of Egypt, just as a shepherd is clothed with his cloak. And he will go forth from that place in peace. 13 And he will crush the statues of the house of the Sun, those that are in the land of Egypt, and the shrines of the gods of Egypt he will burn up with fire.”

Verš 10

And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send for and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne over these stones which I have concealed, and he will establish his throne upon them.

Jer 25:9 - behold, I will send for and take all the associates of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will lead them over this land, and over its inhabitants, and over all the nations that are around it. And I will destroy them, and I will set them in the midst of stupor and hissing, and continual desolations.

Jer 27:6 - And now, therefore, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant. Moreover, I have given to him also the beasts of the field, so that they may serve him.

Verš 11

And he will come and strike the land of Egypt: those who are meant for death, shall go to death, and those for captivity, to captivity, and those for the sword, to the sword.

Jer 15:2 - And if they say to you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord: Those who go to death, shall go to death. And those who go to the sword, shall go to the sword, and those go to famine, shall go to famine, and those who go to captivity, shall go to captivity.

Za 11:9 - And I said: I will not pasture you. Whatever dies, let it die. And whatever is cut down, let it be cut down. And let the rest of them devour, each one the flesh of his neighbor.

Jer 43,2 - Syn Oziášov, ktorý sa tu volá Azariášom, má v 42,1 meno Jezoniáš. Nakoľko LXX už v 42,1 volá tohto muža Azariášom, je pravdepodobné, že toto je jeho správne meno.

Jer 43,7 - Tafnes pozri v 2,16 a pozn. k tomu miestu.

Jer 43,9 - Výraz "do tehlovej malty" je neistý, pretože sa slovo, ktoré prekladáme "malta", vyskytuje v Biblii len tento jediný raz. Preto ani nevieme presne, ako previedol Jeremiáš tento symbolický úkon. Podobne je vo verši 10 neisté slovo "baldachýn". Význam symbolickej akcie je však jasný: Babylonský kráľ si podmaní aj Egypt. – Tafnes nebol sídlom egyptských faraónov.

Jer 43,12 - Slovo "podloží" prekladáme podľa LXX a Vulg. Dnešný hebrejský text má: "podložím".

Jer 43,13 - Stredom kultu boha slnka, ktorého Egypťania volali Ra, bolo mesto Heliopolis. Medzi troskami tohto mesta severovýchodne od Káhiry podnes vidieť obelisky. K menu mesta Heliopolis pozri pozn. k Iz 19,18.
