Jeremiah 42:19

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

The Lord hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah,.... Or, "unto you" (w); by the mouth of the prophet; or, "against you" (x); that which was contrary to their inclination and will, as follows:

go ye not into Egypt: this was the express command of God:

know certainly that I have admonished you this day; not to go into Egypt: or, "have testified unto you" (y); the will of God concerning this matter; and therefore they could not plead ignorance.

(w) עליכם "alloquitur vos", Junius Tremellius "ad vos", so some in Vatablus. (x) "Contra vos", Calvin. (y) העידתי בכם "contestatus sum vos", Montanus, Piscator, Cocceius.
