RF JER 40:1 Jeremiah Freed from the Chains Gang.
The command that came to Jeremiah from the EVER-LIVING, after Nebuzaradan, the commander of the guards, had sent to him when he was chained amongst the chain-gangs, for all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah to be transported to Babel,
RF JER 40:2 when the general of the guards approached Jeremiah and said to him:—"Your EVER-LIVING GOD commanded this misery to this place,
RF JER 40:3 and the EVER-LIVING has come and done as He threatened, because you sinned against the EVER-LIVING and did not listen to His voice,—therefore this result has come to you.
RF JER 40:4 But now, see, I will release you at once from this chain-gang by which you are loaded. If it is good in your opinion to come with me to Babel, come, and I will fix my eye-S upon you. But if it is bad in your opinion to come with me to Babel, do not do it. See! all the country is before you to go wherever is good and right in your eyes.
RF JER 40:5 If you are not willing to go with us,—then go with Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam-ben-Shafan whom the king of Babel has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him amongst your People,—or wherever it is right in your opinion to go,—go." Then the commander of the guards gave him a pension and allowance, and dismissed him;
RF JER 40:6 and Jeremiah went with Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam to Mitzfah, and stayed with him amongst the people who remained in the country.
RF JER 40:7 Ghedeliah Made Governor of Judah.
When all the generals of the forces who were in the open field, and their men heard that the king of Babel had appointed Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam over the land—for those were not transported to Babel,
RF JER 40:8 they came to Ghedaliah to Mitzfah, with Ishmael-ben-Nathaniah, and Jokhanen, and Jonathan, and Izniah-ben-Karakh, and Sariah-ben-Thankhumath, and the sons of Aufi, the Natofathite, Izniah-ben-Hamakathite, and their men,
RF JER 40:9 and Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam-ben-Shafan promised them and their men, saying 'Fear not to serve the Kasdim; stay in the country and serve the king of Babel, and you will to prosper.
RF JER 40:10 But I myself will reside in Mitzfah, to stand before the Kasdim who have come to us,—and you can gather the wine, and harvest, and oil, and lay up for provisions, and reside in the towns you have seized."
RF JER 40:11 And the Jews also who are in Moab, and among the Beni-Amon, and in Edom, and in all the countries heard that the king of Babel had given allotments in Judah, and that he had appointed Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam ben-Shafan over them,
RF JER 40:12 consequently all the Jews returned from all the places where they had fled, and came to the land of Judah, to Ghedaliah at Mitzfah, and harvested the wine, and corn to a great amount.
RF JER 40:13 A Conspiracy to Murder Ghedeliah.
Jokhanan-ben-Korakh, and all the generals of the field forces, afterwards came to Ghedaliah at Mitzfah,
RF JER 40:14 and asked him, "Do you know that Balis, king of the Beni-Amon, has sent Ishmael-ben-Nathaniah to take your life?" But Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam did not believe them.
RF JER 40:15 Consequently Jokhanan-ben-Korakh spoke in private to Ghedaliah in Mitzfah, to say: "I will go now, and assail Ishmael-ben-Nathaniah, and no one shall know. Why should he take your life, and scatter all Judea which is collecting to you, when the remnant of Judea will perish?"
RF JER 40:16 But Ghedaliah-ben-Akhikam replied to Jokhanan-ben-Korakh, "You shall not do such a thing,—for you speak falsely about Ishmael."
