Context — The Plea for Guidancegenerated

1Then all the commanders of the forces, along with Johanan son of Kareah, Jezaniah son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, approached
2Jeremiah the prophet and said, “May our petition come before you; pray to the LORD your God on behalf of this entire remnant. For few of us remain of the many, as you can see with your own eyes.
3Pray that the LORD your God will tell us the way we should walk and the thing we should do.”
4“I have heard you,” replied Jeremiah the prophet. “I will surely pray to the LORD your God as you request, and I will tell you everything that the LORD answers; I will not withhold a word from you.”

Jeremiah 42:2 captures a moment when the leaders of the people, faced with uncertainty and fear after the destruction of Jerusalem, turn to the prophet Jeremiah. They ask him to intercede with God on their behalf, acknowledging their dire situation as a remnant of the larger community that once existed. This plea reflects their desire for divine guidance and mercy during a time of distress.

The Key Word תִּפָּל־, ti.pol-generated

The verb נָפַל (naphal) means 'to fall' and is used here in the context of a request. The form indicates a third-person feminine singular, suggesting a humble and polite entreaty. This construction emphasizes the urgency and seriousness of their request to God.

In this verse, the use of תִּפָּל־ (ti.pol-) signifies a plea for intervention, underscoring the importance of prayer as a means to seek God's favor and assistance. The request is framed in a way that acknowledges their vulnerability and reliance on divine support.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is rendered as may it fall, which aligns with the KJV and ASV.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb יֹּאמְר֞וּ, they said, governs the main clause, followed by a series of phrases that detail their request. The structure emphasizes the directness of their appeal to Jeremiah.

The sentence's flow illustrates a clear progression from the speaker's declaration to the specific request, highlighting the importance of prayer in their context. The arrangement of phrases indicates the urgency and seriousness of their situation.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates the Hebrew יְהוָ֣ה as κύριον, indicating a consistent understanding of God's role as the Lord. This choice reflects the translators' intent to convey the authority and covenant relationship inherent in the name.

The Greek rendering of תִּפָּל־ as πεσέτω shows a similar emphasis on the act of falling or coming down, maintaining the sense of a request for divine action.

Matthew Poole1624–1679Matthew Poole's Commentary on the Holy Bible

These men (though wretched hypocrites) yet come to the prophet with great respect and reverence, first desiring that he would allow them to make their request to him: probably the evidence they had had so lately of his being a prophet of the Lord, by the fulfilling of all that he had foretold against both the city and the temple, might in some measure occasion this. Their request was, that he would put up his prayer to God for the remnant, for now there was but a small remnant of Jews left, a few of many.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(2) Pray for us unto the Lord thy God.—The prophet had gone to Gedaliah at Mizpah (Jeremiah 40:6), and would seem to have been among the captives whom Ishmael was carrying off when they were rescued by Johanan at Gibeon (Jeremiah 41:13-14). The people now turn to him, acknowledging him as a true prophet, and, trusting to his patriotism. ask for his guidance. Their position was difficult and dangerous. Would he not pray to Jehovah for wisdom, that they might see their way—the way to escape from the threatening peril—clearly? He complies with their wishes, and they, on their side, promise to follow the guidance for which they ask.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

One of the chief prophets of the Old Testament, prophesied under Josiah, Jehoiakim, and Zedekiah, and also after the captivity of the latter. He was born at Anathoth, of the race of the priests, and was destined of God to be a prophet, and consecrated for that object before his birth, Jer 1:1,5. At an early age he was called to act as a prophet, B. C. 628, in the thirteenth year of King Josiah. This good king no doubt cooperated with him to promote the reformation of the people; but the subsequent life of the prophet was full of afflictions and persecutions. Jehoiakim threw his prophetic roll into the fire, and sought his life. Zedekiah was kindly instructed by him, and warned of the woes impending over his guilty people, and of their seventy years’ captivity, but to no purpose. The fidelity of the prophet often endangered his life…

Prophet

(Heb. nabi, from a root meaning “to bubble forth, as from a fountain,” hence “to utter”, comp. Ps. 45:1). This Hebrew word is the first and the most generally used for a prophet. In the time of Samuel another word, ro’eh, “seer”, began to be used (1 Sam. 9:9). It occurs seven times in reference to Samuel. Afterwards another word, hozeh, “seer” (2 Sam. 24:11), was employed. In 1 Ch. 29:29 all these three words are used: “Samuel the seer (ro’eh), Nathan the prophet (nabi’), Gad the seer” (hozeh). In Josh. 13:22 Balaam is called (Heb.) a kosem “diviner,” a word used only of a false…

Smith's Bible Dictionary

The ordinary Hebrew word for prophet is nabi , derived from a verb signifying "to bubble forth" like a fountain; hence the word means one who announces or pours forth the declarations of God. The English word comes from the Greek prophetes (profetes), which signifies in classical Greek one who speaks for another , especially one who speaks for a god , and so interprets his will to man; hence its essential meaning is "an interpreter." The use of the word in its modern sense as "one who predicts" is post-classical. The larger sense of interpretation has not, however, been lost. In fact the English word ways been used in a closer sense. The different meanings or shades of meanings in which the abstract noun is employed in Scripture have been drawn out by Locke as follows: "Prophecy comprehends three things: prediction; singing by the dictate of the Spirit; and understanding and explaining…

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places. Some scholars suggest it derives from a root meaning 'to bring into being.'
