Yeremya 44:17

Ki̇tap (Turkish Bible)

17 Tersine, yapacağımızı söylediğimiz her şeyi kesinlikle yapacağız: Gök Kraliçesine buhur yakacak, atalarımızın, krallarımızın, önderlerimizin ve kendimizin Yahuda kentlerinde, Yeruşalim sokaklarında yaptığımız gibi ona dökmelik sunular dökeceğiz. O zamanlar bol yiyeceğimiz vardı, her işimiz yolundaydı, sıkıntı çekmiyorduk.

whatsoever: Jeremiah 44:25, Numbers 30:2, Numbers 30:12, Deuteronomy 23:23, Judges 11:36, Psalms 12:4, Mark 6:26

queen of heaven: or, frame of heaven. As the Sun was worshipped, not only under the name of baal shamayim "Lord of heaven," but also by that of Molech or King; it is likely also that the Moon was adored as melecheth hashshamayim "the Queen of heaven." So the Orphic hymn addressed to the Moon begins כץטי טוב , "Hear, goddess Queen." And Homer, in his Hymn to the Moon, addresses her, ביסו, בםבףףב, טוב "All hail, Queen, goddess." In Epiphanius, we find some women of Arabia, towards the end of the fourth century, had set up another queen of heaven, the Virgin Mary, too well known since under that name and character, whom they likewise worshipped as a goddess, by holding stated assemblies every year to her honour, and by offering a cake of bread in her name; whence these heretics were called Collyridians, from the Greek ךןככץסיע, a cake.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth out of our own mouth,.... And not what went out of the mouth of God, or his prophet: but whoever they had resolved on within themselves to do, and had declared with their mouths they would, or had vowed with their lips; so Abarbinel interprets it of a vow; this they were determined to perform, let God and his prophet say what they would:

to burn incense unto the queen of heaven; which, according to Abarbinel, was the moon, which is the queen of heaven, as the sun is king; it was called by the Heathens Coelestis and Urania: but there are some that think that some great star in heaven, that is king over the rest, is meant; so the Targum renders it, the star of heaven; which they understand of the sun, as Kimchi observes; the sun being much worshipped in Egypt; but Kimchi himself derives the word for "queen", here used, not from the root which signifies "to reign"; but from another, which signifies "to work"; and so renders it, "the work", or "frame of heaven"; the sun, moon, and stars; and so the Syriac version is "the host of heaven"; :-; and to this deity, be it what it will, they burned incense; and they were determined to continue it, and all other idolatrous rites and practices particularly:

and to pour out drink offerings unto her; which was another part of ceremonial worship, which the true God required of the people of Israel; but were here resolved to give it to another god:

as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem; they plead custom and prescription, antiquity and authority; the examples of ancestors and kings; the general practice of their nation, both in the metropolis of it, and in its several cities, where it not only universally obtained, but was visibly and openly done; and, more, they plead the temporal advantage of it:

for [then] had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil: had fulness of bread, and of all provisions; health, peace, and safety; and no judgment was upon them, seen or felt by them; the sword, famine, or pestilence. The goddess Coelestis, or the moon, which seems to be here meant, was, as Tertullian d says "pluviarum pollicitatrix", "the promiser of rains" and so of all good things: or, "were merry" e, as the Heathens were at their new moons, when they indulged to their cups, and lived jovially; hence that of Horace f.

d Apolog. c. 23. e וגהיה טובים "et eramus hilares", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator. f "Da lunae propere novae, Da noctis mediae, [poculum]". Carmin. l. 3. Ode 19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Whatsoever thing ... - Or, the whole word (or thing) which hath gone forth out of our mouth; i. e., the vows we have made. They would not let Jeremiah’s expostulations prevent the carrying out of the special object which had brought them together: otherwise the Queen of heaven would be offended, and avenge himself.
