In Hebrew, the term "word" is "dabar," which often implies not just a spoken word but an authoritative command or decree from God. This underscores the seriousness and divine origin of the message Jeremiah is about to deliver. It is a reminder that the words of the prophets are not their own but are inspired by God, carrying His authority and truth.that came to Jeremiah The phrase "that came to Jeremiah" indicates the prophetic nature of the message. Jeremiah, whose name means "Yahweh exalts," was chosen by God to be His mouthpiece. This emphasizes the personal relationship between God and His prophets, where God communicates His will directly to them. Jeremiah's role as a prophet was to faithfully convey God's messages to the people, regardless of their reception.concerning all the Jews "Concerning all the Jews" highlights the scope of the message. It is directed to the Jewish people, God's chosen nation, who are now in exile. This phrase reminds us of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, and how even in times of disobedience and dispersion, God continues to reach out to His people with messages of warning, correction, and hope.living in the land of Egypt The phrase "living in the land of Egypt" provides a geographical and historical context. After the fall of Jerusalem, some Jews fled to Egypt for refuge, despite God's warnings against seeking help from Egypt. Egypt, historically a place of bondage for the Israelites, symbolizes a return to old dependencies and disobedience. This setting serves as a backdrop for the message, highlighting the consequences of not trusting in God's provision and protection.in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis These are specific locations in Egypt where the Jewish exiles settled. Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis were significant cities in ancient Egypt. Migdol was a fortress city, Tahpanhes was a royal city where Pharaoh had a palace, and Memphis was a major cultural and religious center. The mention of these cities indicates the widespread dispersion of the Jewish community in Egypt and sets the stage for the message to reach all corners of their settlement.and in the land of Pathros Pathros refers to Upper Egypt, further emphasizing the extent of the Jewish diaspora in Egypt. The inclusion of Pathros shows that the message is comprehensive, reaching even those who might feel distant or isolated. It serves as a reminder that God's word is not limited by geography and that His concern for His people extends to all places where they reside.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/44.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>XLIV.(1) At Migdol, and at Tahpanhes . . .--We find from <a href="/jeremiah/44-15.htm" title="Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelled in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,">Jeremiah 44:15</a> that the discourse that follows was delivered at a large gathering of the Jews at Pathros. The number of places named (the three appear in the same combination in <a href="/jeremiah/46-14.htm" title="Declare you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.">Jeremiah 46:14</a>) indicates the extent of the emigration. Migdol (here, as elsewhere, meaning a "tower" or "fortress") is named in <a href="/exodus/14-2.htm" title="Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: before it shall you encamp by the sea.">Exodus 14:2</a> as on the route of the Israelites before they crossed the Red Sea, between Pi-hahiroth and Baal-zephon, and again in <a href="/ezekiel/29-10.htm" title="Behold, therefore I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.">Ezekiel 29:10</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/30-6.htm" title="Thus said the LORD; They also that uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword, said the Lord GOD.">Ezekiel 30:6</a>. It appears in the Itinerary of Antoninus, under the name Magdolo, as twelve miles south of Pelusium. The latter is thought by Lepsius to be different from the former, and to answer to the Stratopeda or "camp" which Herodotus mentions as having been founded by Psammetichus I. as a settlement for his Ionian or Carian mercenaries (Smith's Dict. of the Bible, Art. Migdol). Noph was identical with Memphis, and appears in <a href="/isaiah/19-13.htm" title="The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.">Isaiah 19:13</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/2-16.htm" title="Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of your head.">Jeremiah 2:16</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/30-13.htm" title="Thus said the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause their images to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.">Ezekiel 30:13</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/30-16.htm" title="And I will set fire in Egypt: Sin shall have great pain, and No shall be rent asunder, and Noph shall have distresses daily.">Ezekiel 30:16</a> : and as Moph in the Hebrew of <a href="/hosea/9-6.htm" title="For, see, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.">Hosea 9:6</a>. The position of Pathros is less certain, but it may be inferred from the mention of the other cities with it that it was in Lower Egypt, and possibly, from <a href="/jeremiah/44-15.htm" title="Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense to other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelled in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying,">Jeremiah 44:15</a>, that it was the name of the region in which it was situated. So in <a href="/isaiah/11-11.htm" title="And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.">Isaiah 11:11</a>, it appears in conjunction with Mizraim (= Egypt) and Cush (= Ethiopia), both of which are names of regions and not of cities. By Brugsch (Egypt, I. 242) it has been identified with Upper Egypt, the region of the Thebaid. There is no certain note of the interval between the arrival of the Jews in Egypt and the delivery of the discourse, but it would appear that there had been time for the Jews to disperse and settle in the three or four cities here named, and to adopt the worship of the Egyptians. It is, however, implied throughout that the prophet is speaking to the emigrants themselves, and not to their descendants (<a href="/jeremiah/44-17.htm" title="But we will certainly do whatever thing goes forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.">Jeremiah 44:17</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/44-21.htm" title="The incense that you burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?">Jeremiah 44:21</a>). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/jeremiah/44.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 1-14. - Accusation brought against the obstinately idolatrous people.
