Jeremías 43
Reina Valera 1909 (RV1909) · Español
1 Y ACONTECIÓ que como Jeremías acabó de hablar á todo el pueblo todas las palabras de Jehová Dios de ellos, todas estas palabras por las cuales Jehová Dios de ellos le había enviado á ellos mismos, 2 Dijo Azarías hijo de Osaías, y Johanán hijo de Carea, y todos los varones soberbios dijeron á Jeremías: Mentira dices; no te ha enviado Jehová nuestro Dios para decir: No entréis en Egipto á peregrinar allí. 3 Sino que Baruch hijo de Nerías te incita contra nosotros, para entregarnos en mano de los Caldeos, para matarnos y para hacernos trasportar á Babilonia. 4 No obedeció pues Johanán hijo de Carea, y todos los oficiales de la gente de guerra, y todo el pueblo, á la voz de Jehová para quedarse en tierra de Judá; 5 Antes tomó Johanán hijo de Carea, y todos los oficiales de la gente de guerra, á todo el resto de Judá, que de todas las gentes adonde habían sido echados habían vuelto para morar en tierra de Judá: 6 A hombres, y mujeres, y niños, y á las hijas del rey, y á toda alma que había dejado Nabuzaradán capitán de la guardia con Gedalías hijo de Ahicam hijo de Saphán, y á Jeremías profeta, y á Baruch hijo de Nerías; 7 Y entraron en tierra de Egipto; porque no obedecieron á la voz de Jehová: y llegaron hasta Taphnes. 8 Y fué palabra de Jehová á Jeremías en Taphnes, diciendo: 9 Toma con tu mano piedras grandes, y cúbrelas de barro en un horno de ladrillos que está á la puerta de la casa de Faraón en Taphnes, á vista de hombres Judíos; 10 Y diles: Así ha dicho Jehová de los ejércitos, Dios de Israel: He aquí que yo envío, y tomaré á Nabucodonosor rey de Babilonia, mi siervo, y pondré su trono sobre estas piedras que he escondido, y tenderá su dosel sobre ellas. 11 Y vendrá, y herirá la tierra de Egipto: los que á muerte, á muerte, y los que á cautiverio, á cautiverio, y los que á cuchillo, á cuchillo. 12 Y pondré fuego á las casas de los dioses de Egipto; y las quemará, y á ellos llevará cautivos; y él se vestirá la tierra de Egipto, como el pastor se viste su capa, y saldrá de allá en paz. 13 Además, quebrará las estatuas de Beth-semes, que es en tierra de Egipto, y las casas de los dioses de Egipto quemará á fuego.

Jeremías 43:2
Jr 43:1-13. The Jews Carry Jeremiah and Baruch into Egypt. Jeremiah Foretells by a Type the Conquest of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, and the Fate of the Fugitives.
2. Azariah--the author of the project of going into Egypt; a very different man from the Azariah in Babylon (Da 1:7; 3:12-18).
proud--Pride is the parent of disobedience and contempt of God.
Jeremías 43:3
3. Baruch--He being the younger spake out the revelations which he received from Jeremiah more vehemently. From this cause, and from their knowing that he was in favor with the Chaldeans, arose their suspicion of him. Their perverse fickleness was astonishing. In the forty-second chapter they acknowledged the trustworthiness of Jeremiah, of which they had for so long so many proofs; yet here they accuse him of a lie. The mind of the unregenerate man is full of deceits.
Jeremías 43:5
Jeremías 43:6
6. the king's daughters--Zedekiah's (Jr 41:10).
Jeremías 43:7
7. Tahpanhes--(See on Jr 2:16); Daphne on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, near Pelusium. They naturally came to it first, being on the frontier of Egypt, towards Palestine.
Jeremías 43:9
9. stones--to be laid as the foundation beneath Nebuchadnezzar's throne (Jr 43:10).
clay--mortar.
brick-kiln--Bricks in that hot country are generally dried in the sun, not burned. The palace of Pharaoh was being built or repaired at this time; hence arose the mortar and brick-kiln at the entry. Of the same materials as that of which Pharaoh's house was built, the substructure of Nebuchadnezzar's throne should be constructed. By a visible symbol implying that the throne of the latter shall be raised on the downfall of the former. Egypt at that time contended with Babylon for the empire of the East.
Jeremías 43:10
10. my servant--God often makes one wicked man or nation a scourge to another (Eze 29:18, 19, 20).
royal pavilion--the rich tapestry (literally, "ornament") which hung round the throne from above.
Jeremías 43:11
11. such as are for death to death--that is, the deadly plague. Some he shall cause to die by the plague arising from insufficient or bad food; others, by the sword; others he shall lead captive, according as God shall order it (see on Jr 15:2).
Jeremías 43:12
12. houses of ... gods--He shall not spare even the temple, such will be His fury. A reproof to the Jews that they betook themselves to Egypt, a land whose own safety depended on helpless idols.
burn ... carry ... captives--burn the Egyptian idols of wood, carry to Babylon those of gold and other metals.
array himself with the land, &c.--Is 49:18 has the same metaphor.
as a shepherd, &c.--He shall become master of Egypt as speedily and easily as a shepherd, about to pass on with his flock to another place, puts on his garment.
Jeremías 43:13
13. images--statues or obelisks.
Beth-shemesh--that is, "the house of the sun," in Hebrew; called by the Greeks "Heliopolis"; by the Egyptians, "On" (Ge 41:45); east of the Nile, and a few miles north of Memphis. Ephraim Syrus says, the statue rose to the height of sixty cubits; the base was ten cubits. Above there was a miter of a thousand pounds weight. Hieroglyphics are traced around the only obelisk remaining in the present day, sixty or seventy feet high. On the fifth year after the overthrow of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar, leaving the siege of Tyre, undertook his expedition to Egypt [Josephus, Antiquities, 10.9,7]. The Egyptians, according to the Arabs, have a tradition that their land was devastated by Nebuchadnezzar in consequence of their king having received the Jews under his protection, and that it lay desolate forty years. But see on Eze 29:2; Eze 29:13.
shall he burn--Here the act is attributed to Nebuchadnezzar, the instrument, which in Jr 43:12 is attributed to God. If even the temples be not spared, much less private houses.
