H0413–אֶל–el

Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, a eunuch, who was in the king's house, heard that they had put Jeremiah in the dungeon (the king then sitting in the gate of Benjamin),

אֶל־ 'el- “into”

Ebedmelech went forth out of the king's house, and spoke to the king, saying,

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

My lord the king, these men have done evil in all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have cast into the dungeon; and he is likely to die in the place where he is, because of the famine; for there is no more bread in the city.

אֶל־ 'el- “into”

So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took there rags and worn-out garments, and let them down by cords into the dungeon to Jeremiah.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”אֶל־ 'el- “into”

Ebedmelech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under your armholes under the cords. Jeremiah did so.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took Jeremiah the prophet to him into the third entry that is in the house of Yahweh: and the king said to Jeremiah, I will ask you a thing; hide nothing from me.

אֵלָ֔יו (אֵלָ֔י) 'e.La “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I declare it to you, will you not surely put me to death? and if I give you counsel, you will not listen to me.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֵלָֽי׃ (אֵלָֽ) 'e.La “to”

So Zedekiah the king swore secretly to Jeremiah, saying, As Yahweh lives, who made us this soul, I will not put you to death, neither will I give you into the hand of these men who seek your life.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

Then said Jeremiah to Zedekiah, Thus says Yahweh, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If you will go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then your soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and you shall live, and your house.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”

But if you will not go forth to the king of Babylon's princes, then shall this city be given into the hand of the Chaldeans, and they shall burn it with fire, and you shall not escape out of their hand.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

Zedekiah the king said to Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews who are fallen away to the Chaldeans, lest they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”

But Jeremiah said, They shall not deliver you. Obey, I beg you, the voice of Yahweh, in that which I speak to you: so it shall be well with you, and your soul shall live.

אֵלֶ֔יךָ (אֵלֶ֔י) 'e.Lei. “to”

behold, all the women who are left in the king of Judah's house shall be brought forth to the king of Babylon's princes, and those women shall say, Your familiar friends have set you on, and have prevailed over you: [supplied: now that] your feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

They shall bring out all your wives and your children to the Chaldeans; and you shall not escape out of their hand, but shall be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and you shall cause this city to be burned with fire.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

Then said Zedekiah to Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and you shall not die.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

But if the princes hear that I have talked with you, and they come to you, and tell you, Declare to us now what you have said to the king; don't hide it from us, and we will not put you to death; also what the king said to you:

אֵלֶ֣יךָ (אֵלֶ֣י) 'e.Lei. “to”אֵלֶ֟יךָ (אֵלֶ֟י) 'e.Lei. “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֵלֶ֖יךָ (אֵלֶ֖י) 'e.Lei. “to”

then you shall tell them, I presented my supplication before the king, that he would not cause me to return to Jonathan's house, to die there.

אֲלֵיהֶ֔ם (אֲלֵי) 'a.lei. “to”

Then came all the princes to Jeremiah, and asked him; and he told them according to all these words that the king had commanded. So they left off speaking with him; for the matter was not perceived.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

It happened when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and besieged it;

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath; and he gave judgment on him.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he shall tell you.

אֵלֶ֔יךָ (אֵלֶ֔י) 'e.Lei. “to”

they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guard, and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”

Now the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the guard, saying,

וְאֶֽל־ (אֶֽל) 'el- “to”

Go, and speak to Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring my words on this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished before you in that day.

אֶל־ 'el- “against”

The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of Jerusalem and Judah, who were carried away captive to Babylon.
