Jeremiah 43 from
Scroll 2Q13 Jeremiah
8 Then Yahweh’s word
came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 “Take
great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work, which is at
the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah; 10 and tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the God
of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant,
and will set his throne on these
stones that I have hidden; and he will spread
his royal pavilion over them. 11 He will come,
and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to
death, and such as are for
captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Jeremiah
43 from Scroll 4Q72a Jeremiahd
2 then
Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men
spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. Yahweh our God has not sent you
to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’ 3 but Baruch the son of
Neriah has turned you against us,
to deliver us into the hand of the
Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.”
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey
Yahweh’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah. 5 But Johanan the son
of Kareah, and all the captains of
the forces, took all
the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah; 6 the
men, and the women, and the children, and the
king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain
of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet,
and Baruch the son of Neriah; 7 and they came into the land of Egypt; for they didn’t obey
Yahweh’s voice: and they came to Tahpanhes.
8 Then
Yahweh’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying, 9 “Take
great stones in your hand, and hide them in mortar in the brick work of Pharaoh’s house, which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in
the sight of the men of Judah; 10 and tell them, Yahweh of Armies, the
God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set
his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal
pavilion over them.
