Context — Jeremiah's Message to the Peoplegenerated

1When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—
2Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
3Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”
4So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.

Jeremiah 43:1 describes the moment when Jeremiah conveys all the words of the LORD to the people of Judah. This passage emphasizes the importance of Jeremiah's role as a prophet and the seriousness of the messages he delivers. Following this proclamation, the people's response reveals their disbelief and rejection of God's instruction, as seen in the subsequent verses.

The Key Word כְּכַלּ֨וֹת, ke.kha.Lotgenerated

The Hebrew word כָּלָה (kalah) is a verb meaning to finish or end. It indicates the completion of an action, in this case, Jeremiah's message to the people. The parsing as a piel infinitive construct suggests an active completion, emphasizing the finality of what has been said.

This word is often used in contexts where tasks are completed, such as in Genesis 2:2, where God finished His creation. Here, it signifies that Jeremiah has fully delivered all that God commanded him to speak.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is וַיְהִי֩, and it was, which governs the entire sentence. This structure sets a narrative tone, indicating that something significant has taken place.

The phrase כְּכַלּ֨וֹת serves as a prepositional phrase indicating the completion of Jeremiah's speaking, followed by a noun phrase detailing the audience and the content of his message. The order emphasizes the sequence of actions, leading to the delivery of the LORD's words.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the Hebrew כְּכַלּ֨וֹת is rendered as ἐπαύσατο, meaning 'he ceased' or 'he finished.' This choice highlights the act of stopping after a complete communication, suggesting a definitive end to Jeremiah's proclamation.

The use of λόγους for דִּבְרֵי indicates a focus on the spoken words, aligning with the Hebrew emphasis on the content delivered.

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

CHAPTER XLIII The leading men, discrediting Jeremiah's prophecy, carry the people into Egypt, 1-7. Jeremiah, by a type, foretells the conquest of Egypt by Nebuchadnezzar, 8-13. This mode of conveying instruction by actions was very expressive, and frequently practised by the prophets. The image of Nebuchadnezzar arraying himself with Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment, is very noble. Egypt at this time contended with Babylon for the empire of the east; yet this mighty kingdom, when God appoints the revolution, shifts its owner with as much ease as a shepherd removes his tent or garment, which the new proprietor has only to spread over him.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text of Jeremiah 43:1 presents the verse clearly, stating that Jeremiah finished delivering all the words of the LORD to the people. The Septuagint, while it has a significant overlap with the Masoretic Text, does not provide a complete word-for-word translation in this instance, as it has its own structure and wording. Therefore, the Septuagint's version may differ in phrasing or arrangement, but it generally aligns with the meaning found in the Masoretic Text. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not have available evidence for this specific verse, so we cannot confirm their readings or differences here.

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…

Of these, in the Old Testament, `am, is overwhelmingly the most common (about 2,000 times), with le'om, and goy, next in order; but the various Hebrew words are used with very little or no difference in force (e.g. Pr 14:28; but, on the other hand, in Ps 44 contrast verses 12 and 14). Of the changes introduced by the Revised Version (British and American) the only one of significance (cited explicitly in the Preface to the English Revised Version) is the frequent use of the plural "peoples" (strangely avoided in the King James Version except Re 10:11; 17:15), where other nations than Israel are in question.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

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.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).
