rotherham@Jeremiah:40:1 @ The thing that happened unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, after Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him, he having been bound in fetters in the midst of all the captive-host of Jerusalem, and Judah, who were being carried away captive to Babylon.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:2 @ So then the, chief of the royal executioners took Jeremiah, and said unto him, Yahweh thy God had threatened this calamity against this place;
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:3 @ and so Yahweh hath brought it about and done it just as he threatened, for ye have sinned against Yahweh, and have not hearkened unto his voice, and so this thing hath befallen you.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:4 @ Now, therefore, lo! I have loosed thee today, from the fetters which were upon thy hand: If it be good in thine eyes to come with me into Babylon, come, and I will set urine eyes upon thee, but if evil in thine eyes to come with me into Babylon, forbear, see! all the land, is before thee, whither it may be good and right in thine eyes to go, thither, go!
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:5 @ And ere yet he could make reply Go thou back then unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath set in charge over the cities of Judah, and dwell thou with him in the midst of the people, or whithersoever it may be right in thine eyes to go, go! So the chief of the royal executioners gave him an allowance and a present and let him go.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:6 @ Then came Jeremiah unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him in the midst of the people who were left in the land.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:7 @ Now, when all the captains of the forces which were in the fieldthey and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had set Gedaliah son of Ahikam in charge over the land, and that he had committed to him men and women and children, and the poor of the land of those who had not been carried away captive to Babylon,
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:8 @ then came they in unto Gedaliah in Mizpah, both Ishmael son of Nethaniah and Johanan and Jonathan sons of Kareah, and Seraiah son of Tanhumeth and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite and Jezaniah son of the Maachathite, they and their men.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:9 @ Then Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan swats unto them, and to their men saying, Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans, dwell in the land and serve the king of Babylon that it may be well with you.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:10 @ But as for me, behold me! remaining in Mizpah, to stand before the Chaldeans who may come unto us, Ye, however, gather ye wine and summer fruits and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your reties which ye have seized.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:11 @ Likewise also, all the Jews, who were in Moab and among the sons of Ammon and in Edom and who were in any of the lands, when they heard that the king of Babylon had granted a remnant to Judah, and that he had set in charge over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan,
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:12 @ yea, then returned all the Jews out of all the places whither they had been driven, and came into the land of Judah unto Gedaliah, in Mizpah, and gathered wine and summer fruits in great abundance.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:13 @ But, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the princes of the forces which were in the field, came unto Gedaliah in Mizpah,
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:14 @ and said unto him Dost thou at all know, that, Baalis, king of the sons of Ammon, hath sent Ishmael son of Nethaniah, to smite thee to death? But Gedaliah son of Ahikam, believed them not.
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:15 @ Then, Johanan son of Kareah, spake unto Gedaliah secretly, in Mizpah, saying, Let me go I pray thee, and smite Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and not, a man, shall know it, wherefore should he smite thee to death, and all Judah who have gathered themselves unto thee, be dispersed, and the remnant of Judah perish?
rotherham@Jeremiah:40:16 @ Then said Gedaliah son of Ahikam unto Johanan son of Kareah, Thou mayest not do this thing, for, falsely, art thou speaking against Ishmael.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:1 @ And it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah son of Elishama of the seed royal and chiefs of the king, and ten men with him, came in, unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, at Mizpah, and they did there eat bread together in Mizpah.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:2 @ Then arose Ishmael son of Nethaniahand the ten men who were with him and they smote Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphanwith the sword and slew him whom the king of Babylon had set in charge, over the land.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:3 @ And Ishmael smote, all the Jews who were with him even with Gedaliah in Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there the men of war.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:4 @ And it came to pass, on the second day, after he had slain Gedaliah, not, a man, knowing it,
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:5 @ that men came in from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, eighty men, with beards shaven and clothes rent who also had cut themselves, with a meal-offering and frankincense in their hand, to bring them into the house of Yahweh.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:6 @ Then went forth Ishmael son of Nethaniah to meet them out of Mizpah, weeping all along as he went, and it came to pass when he fell in with them, that he said unto them, Come ye in unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:7 @ And so it was when they had come into the midst of the city, that Ishmael son of Nethaniah slew them and east them into the midst of a pit, he and the men who were with him.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:8 @ But, ten men, were found among them, who said unto Ishmael Do not put us to death, for we have secret treasures in the field, wheat and barley and oil and honey, So he forbare and put them not to death in the midst of their brethren.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:9 @ Now the pit whereinto Ishmael cast all the dead bodies of the men whom he had smitten, was a large pit which King Asa had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel, the same, did Ishmael son of Nethaniah fill with the slain,
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:10 @ Then did Ishmael take captive all the remnant of the people that was in Mizpah, the daughters of the king, and all the people that were left remaining in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan chief of the royal executioners had committed unto Gedaliah son of Ahikam, yea Ishmael son of Nethaniah took them captive, and departed to pass over unto the sons of Ammon.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:11 @ But when Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him heard of all the wickedness which Ishmael son of Nethaniah had done,
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:12 @ then took they all the men, and went their way to fight with Ishmael son of Nethaniah, and found him near the many waters which were in Gibeon.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:13 @ And it came to pass, when all the people who were with Ishmael saw Johanan son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, then were they glad.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:14 @ So all the people whom Ishmael had carried away captive out of Mizpah, compassed about, and returned and went their way unto Johanan son of Kareah.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:15 @ But, Ishmael son of Nethaniah, escaped with eight men, from the face of Johanan, and departed unto the sons of Ammon.
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:16 @ Then did Johanan son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces who were with him take all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael son of Nethaniah out of Mizpah, after he had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, mighty men, men of war, and women and children and eunuchs, whom he had recovered out of Gibeon;
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:17 @ and they departed, and dwelt in the khan of Chimham, which is near Bethlehem, that they might go to enter Egypt;
rotherham@Jeremiah:41:18 @ because of the Chaldeans, for they were afraid of them, because Ishmael son of Nethaniah had smitten Gedaliah son of Ahikam, whom the king of Babylon had set in charge over the land.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:1 @ Then drew near all the captains of the forces, and Johanan son of Kareah and Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest;
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:2 @ and said unto Jeremiah the prophet Let our supplication we beseech thee fall prostrate before thee, and pray thou in our behalf unto Yahweh thy God, in behalf of all this remnant, for we are left a few out of many, just as thine own eyes do behold us:
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:3 @ that Yahweh thy God may tell us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing that we should do.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:4 @ And Jeremiah the prophet, said unto them, I have heard; behold me! praying unto Yahweh your God according to your words, and it shall come to pass that the whole thing that Yahweh shall answer you, I will tell you, I will keep back from you, nothing.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:5 @ They, therefore said unto Jeremiah, Yahweh be against us, as a witness true and faithful, if according to all the word which Yahweh thy God shall send thee unto us, so we do not perform:
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:6 @ whether for good or for ill, unto the voice of Yahweh our God for which we are sending thee unto him, will we hearken, to the end it may be well with us, because we will hearken unto the voice of Yahweh our God.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:7 @ And it came to pass at the end of ten days, that the word of Yahweh came unto Jeremiah.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:8 @ Then called he for Johanan son of Kareah, and for all the princes of the forces who were with himand for all the people from the least even unto the greatest;
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:9 @ and said unto them, Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israelunto whom ye sent me, to cause your supplication to fall prostrate before him:
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:10 @ If ye will indeed abide, in this land, then will I build you up, and not pull, for I have compassion as touching the calamity which I have caused you.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:11 @ Do not fear the face of the king of Babylon, of whose face ye are afraid, do not fear him, Urgeth Yahweh, for with you, am I, to save you, and to deliver you out of his hand:
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:12 @ that I may grant you compassions and he may have compassion upon you, and suffer you to return unto your own soil.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:13 @ But, since ye are saying, We will not dwell in this land, nor hearken unto the voice of Yahweh your God:
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:14 @ saying, No! for, into the land of Egypt, will we go, where we shall not see war, nor the sound of a horn, shall we hear, nor for bread, shall we be famished, there, then will we dwell
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:15 @ Now, therefore, for this cause, hear ye the word of Yahweh, O remnant of Judah, Thus! saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, If, ye do indeed set your faces to enter Egypt and do enter to sojourn there,
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:16 @ then shall it come to pass that the sword which ye are fearing shall, there, overtake you, in the land of Egypt, and the famine which ye are dreading, shall, there, lay fast hold of you, in Egypt, and, there, shall ye die.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:17 @ So shall it be with all the men who have set their faces to enter Egypt to sojourn there, they shah die by sword, by famine or by pestilence, and they shall have neither survival nor escape, from the face of the calamity which I am about to bring in upon them.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:18 @ For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Just as mine anger and mine indignation have been poured out upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall mine indignation be poured out upon you when ye enter into Egypt, thus shall ye become a curse, and an astonishment and a contempt and a reproach, and ye shall no more see this place.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:19 @ Yahweh hath spoken concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah, Do not enter into Egypt: Know certainly, that I have taken you to witness to-day.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:20 @ For ye have deceived yourselves at the cost of your lives, for, ye yourselves, sent me unto Yahweh your God, saying, Pray thou in our behalf, unto Yahweh our God, and according to all that Yahweh our God shall say, so, tell us and we will do it.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:21 @ Therefore have I told you to-day, and yet ye have not hearkened unto the voice of Yahweh your God, even in any thing for which he hath sent me unto you.
rotherham@Jeremiah:42:22 @ Now, therefore, know ye certainly, that by sword, by famine, or by pestilence, shall ye die, in the place whither ye have desired to go, to sojourn.
rotherham@Jeremiah:43:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of Yahweh their God, with which Yahweh their God had sent him unto them, even all these words,
