Yeremya 44:14

Ki̇tap (Turkish Bible)

14 Yerleşmek için Mısıra gelen Yahuda halkının sağ kalanlarından hiçbiri kurtulmayacak, hiç kimse sağ kalıp Yahudaya dönmeyecek. Yerleşmek üzere oraya dönmek isteseler de, kaçıp kurtulan birkaç kişi dışında dönen olmayacak.››

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

So: It is evident from verse 28, that some Jews were to escape the general destruction in Egypt, and to return into their own country, though but a few; and the same thing is implied in the latter clause of this verse. But the former part excludes from the number of those who should escape every individual of those who are properly termed "the remnant of Judah;" those who had willingly and rebelliously "set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to dwell there," on a presumption that they knew better than God how to consult their own restoration. The few, then, who were destined to escape, were to be such as had come into the land of Egypt with Johanan by compulsion, or had previously fled thither, or in some other less offensive manner, and chanced to be there when the storm burst upon them.

which are: Isaiah 30:1-3

shall escape: Jeremiah 44:27, Jeremiah 42:17, Matthew 23:33, Romans 2:3, Hebrews 2:3

which they: Jeremiah 22:26, Jeremiah 22:27, Jeremiah 42:22

have a desire: Heb. lift up there soul

for none: Jeremiah 44:28, Isaiah 4:2, Isaiah 10:20, Romans 9:27, Romans 11:5, Romans 11:6

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 19:31 - For Ezra 9:8 - a remnant Nehemiah 1:2 - that had escaped Jeremiah 44:7 - to leave Jeremiah 50:20 - I will pardon Ezekiel 6:8 - General Ezekiel 7:16 - they Ezekiel 20:38 - they shall Obadiah 1:17 - deliverance Romans 13:2 - power

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So that none of the remnant of Judah,.... Which were left in the land of Judea after the captivity:

which are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall escape or remain; escape either the sword, or the famine, or the pestilence, or remain in the land of Egypt, or in the land of the living; so general should be the destruction:

that they should return into the land of Judah, to the which they have a desire to return there; or, "have lift up their souls b to return there": most earnestly desire it, and have raised hopes and expectations of it; for it seems that those Jews that went into Egypt did not go with a design to settle there for ever; but to return to their own land, when there should be better times, and more safety and security there; particularly when they thought the affair of the death of Gedaliah would be no further inquired into:

for none shall return but such as shall escape; out of the hands of Johanan, and the rest of the captains; and should get out of the land of Egypt before the Chaldeans came into it. Some understand this of those that should escape out of Babylon; that none should return to Judea but those of that captivity, who should be released by the proclamation of Cyrus. Jarchi interprets it of Jeremiah and Baruch, whom Nebuchadnezzar removed to Babylon, when Egypt fell into his hands, in the twenty seventh year of his reign, as is related in the Jewish chronicles c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Literally, “And there shall not be to the remnant of Judah, which are going to sojourn there in the land of Egypt, one that escapes or remains etc.” The word rendered “escapes” means one who slips away, saves himself by a stealthy flight Genesis 14:13; the word “remains,” one who survives when all the rest perish Job 18:19. Of all those now going down to Egypt none shall return to Judaea except a few miserable fugitives, who shall steal away as men who flee in battle 2 Samuel 19:3. For really years Jewish settlers had gone to Egypt in great numbers, and these old settlers would be treated in the same way as the Egyptians, but these fugitives, with no knowledge of the Egyptian language or ways, would have no friends in the country to aid them, and would also be recognized by the Chaldaeans as inveterate enemies, and mercilessly slain.
