Tahpanhes: Tahpanhes rendered בצםח and בצםבי by the LXX, is no doubt the בצםבי of Herodotus, a royal city of Lower Egypt, situated, according to the Itinerary of Antoninus, sixteen miles south from Pelusium, from which it was called Daphne Pelusice. Forster says that there is now a place situated in the vicinity of Pelusium called Safnas, which may be a vestige of the ancient name. It appears to have been the very first town in Egypt, in the road from Palestine, that afforded tolerable accommodation for the fugitives. It was at this place that, according to Jerome and several of the ancients, tradition says the faithful Jeremiah was stoned to death by these rebellious wretches, for whose welfare he had watched, prayed, and suffered every kind of indignity and hardship.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The word which came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt,.... Or, "unto all the Jews" t; the word came to him, that it might be delivered to them; or, "against all the Jews" u; they having gone into Egypt contrary to the will of God, and committing idolatry; and the word or sermon is full of threatenings and judgments denounced upon them:

which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros: this prophecy was delivered after the Jews were come to Tahpanhes, or Daphne; see Jeremiah 43:7; and had divided themselves, and were settled in different parts of the kingdom: some continued at Tahpanhes, where were the king's court and palace: others went to Migdol, a place near the Red sea, just at the entrance into Egypt, from the land of Canaan, Exodus 14:2; called, by Herodotus, Magdolus w; and by Adrichomius x said to be distant about a mile and a quarter from Pelusium, or Sin, the strength of Egypt, Ezekiel 30:15; others took up their residence at Noph, generally thought to be the city of Memphis. The Targum calls it Mappas; the same which is now called Grand Cairo; or, however, this city is near the place where Memphis stood: others dwelt in the country of Pathros, which perhaps had its name from Pathrusim, a son of Mizraim, Genesis 10:13. It is thought by Bochart and others to be the country of Thebais in Egypt, the same with the Nomos Phanturites, or Phaturites, of Pliny y; and in this country Jeremiah seems to have been when this word came to him,

Jeremiah 44:15; and from hence sent or carried it to the other places: saying; as follows:

t אל כל היהודים "ad omnes Judaeos", V. L. Castalio, Cocceius, Schmidt; "erga omnes", Pagninus, Montanus. u "Contra omnes Judaeos", Junius Tremellius "de, [vel] contra", Piscator. w Euterpe, sive l. 2. c. 159. x Theatrum Terrae Sanct. p. 121. y Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Migdol - Magdolum, a strong fortress on the northern boundary of Egypt.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XLIV

Jeremiah reproves the Jews in Egypt for continuing in idolatry

after the exemplary judgments indicted by God on their nation

for that sin, 1-14;

and, upon their refusing to reform, denounces destruction to

them, and to that kingdom wherein they sought protection,

15-30.

NOTES ON CHAP. XLIV

Verse Jeremiah 44:1. The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews — Dahler supposes this discourse to have been delivered in the seventeenth or eighteenth year after the taking of Jerusalem.

Which dwell at Migdol — A city of Lower Egypt, not far from Pelusium.

Tahpanhes — Daphne Pelusiaca, the place to which the emigrant Jews first went.

Noph — מפס Maphes, Targum. Memphis. a celebrated city of Middle Egypt, and the capital of its district.

The country of Pathros — A district of Upper Egypt, known by the name of the Thebais. See Bochart, Lib. Phaleg, lib. iv., c. 22. Thus we find that the Jews were scattered over the principal parts of Egypt.
