Jeremiah 43:6 Summary

This verse, Jeremiah 43:6, describes a group of people, including men, women, children, and even the king's daughters, who are being taken to Egypt against God's will. They had been allowed to stay in the land by Nebuzaradan, but now they are being led away by Johanan and the commanders of the forces, as seen in Jeremiah 43:4-5. This event shows how the Israelites continued to disobey God, even after all that had happened to them, similar to the disobedience seen in Numbers 14:1-4 and 1 Samuel 15:22-23. Despite their disobedience, God still had a plan for them, and He would continue to work in their lives, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who was Nebuzaradan and what role did he play in the lives of the Israelites?

Nebuzaradan was the captain of the guard under King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and he was responsible for allowing certain Israelites, including Gedaliah and Jeremiah, to remain in the land after the Babylonian conquest, as seen in Jeremiah 43:6 and 2 Kings 25:8-12.

What was the significance of the king's daughters being included in the group that went to Egypt?

The inclusion of the king's daughters in the group that went to Egypt signifies the complete rejection of God's plan for the Israelites, as they were taking the last remnants of the royal family away from the land God had promised them, similar to the disobedience seen in 1 Samuel 8:7.

Why did Jeremiah and Baruch go with the group to Egypt despite being a prophet and scribe of the Lord?

Jeremiah and Baruch went with the group to Egypt because they were part of the remnant of Judah that was being taken there, and as a prophet, Jeremiah was likely compelled to continue ministering to his people, even in disobedience, as seen in Jeremiah 1:7-10 and Isaiah 6:8-10.

How does this event relate to the larger story of God's redemption in the Bible?

This event in Jeremiah 43:6 is part of the larger narrative of God's judgment and redemption, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:15 and Leviticus 26:14-45, where disobedience leads to scattering, but ultimately, God's plan of redemption will prevail, as prophesied in Ezekiel 36:24 and fulfilled in Jesus Christ, Romans 11:25-27.

Trapp's Commentary on Jeremiah 43:6

Jeremiah 43:6 [Even] men, and women, and children, and the king’ s daughters, and every person that 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.Ver. 6. And Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.] This was not without a special providence of God, that these desperadoes might still have a prophet with them, for the making of them the more inexcusable. If it befall any of God’ s faithful servants to be hurried whither they would not, as it did Jeremiah and Baruch here, Paul also and Peter, Ignatius, Polycarp, and other prisoners and sufferers for the truth in all ages, let them comfort themselves with these examples.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Jeremiah 43:6

Verse 6. Men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters] See the note on Jeremiah 41:10. It is truly surprising that the Chaldeans should have left behind any of the royal family of Judah! But, 1. Perhaps they knew not there were any. 2. If they did know, they might think, being children of concubines, they could not inherit. Or, 3. That being females, they were not eligible. And they had taken care to seize all Zedekiah's sons, and slay them before his eyes.
