But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, who had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.

Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,

בְּיַ֛ד (בְּ) be. “by”

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

Now the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, while he was confined in the court of the prison, saying,

בִּֽהְיֹת֣וֹ (בִּֽ) bi “when”בַּחֲצַ֥ר (בַּ) ba. “in”

Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Cushite, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished in that day before thee.

בַּיּ֥וֹם (בַּ) ba “on the”

But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou art afraid.

For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey to thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.

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

בְּקַחְתּ֣וֹ (בְּ) be. “when”בָּֽאזִקִּים֙ (בָּֽ) ba. “with <the>”בְּת֨וֹךְ (בְּ) be. “in”

Now the LORD hath brought it, and done according as he hath said: because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice, therefore this thing is come upon you.

בְּקוֹל֔וֹ (בְּ) be. “to”

And now, behold, I loose thee this day from the chains which were upon thy hand. If it seemeth good to thee to come with me into Babylon, come; and I will look well to thee: but if it seemeth ill to thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear: behold, all the land is before thee: whither it seemeth good and convenient for thee to go, thither go.

Now while he had not yet gone back, he said, Go back also to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people: or go wherever it seemeth convenient to thee to go. So the captain of the guard gave him provisions and a reward, and let him go.

Then Jeremiah went to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and dwelt with him among the people that were left in the land.

Now when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam governor in the land, and had committed to him men, and women, and children, and of the poor of the land, of them that were not carried away captive to Babylon;

בַּשָּׂדֶ֗ה (בַּ) ba. “[were] in the”בָּאָ֑רֶץ (בָּ) ba. “over the”

And Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, Fear not to serve the Chaldeans: dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.

בָאָ֗רֶץ (בָ) va. “in the”

As for me, behold, I will dwell at Mizpah, to serve the Chaldeans, who will come to us: but ye, gather ye wine, and summer fruits, and oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that ye have taken.

Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had left a remnant of Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;

בְּמוֹאָ֣ב׀ (בְּ) be. “[were] in”וּבִבְנֵֽי־ (בִ) vi “among”וּבֶאֱד֜וֹם (בֶ) ve. “in”בְּכָל־ (בְּ) be. “[were] in”

Moreover Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, that were in the fields, came to Gedaliah to Mizpah,

בַּשָּׂדֶ֑ה (בַּ) ba. “[were] in the”

Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it: why should he slay thee, that all the Jews who are gathered to thee should be scattered, and the remnant of Judah perish?

בַסֵּ֨תֶר (בַ) va. “in <the>”בַּמִּצְפָּ֜ה (בַּ) ba. “at <the>”

Now it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, and the princes of the king, even ten men with him, came to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam to Mizpah; and there they ate bread together in Mizpah.

בַּחֹ֣דֶשׁ (בַּ) ba. “in the”בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃ (בַּ) ba. “at <the>”

Then arose Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men that were with him, and smote Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan with the sword, and slew him, whom the king of Babylon had made governor over the land.

בַּחֶ֖רֶב (בַּ) ba. “with the”בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ (בָּ) ba. “over the”

Ishmael also slew all the Jews that were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans that were found there, and the men of war.

בַּמִּצְפָּ֔ה (בַּ) ba. “at <the>”

And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew it,

בַּיּ֥וֹם (בַּ) ba “on the”

That there came men from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria, even eighty men, having their beards shaven, and their clothes rent, and having cut themselves, with offerings and incense in their hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD.

בְּיָדָ֔ם (בְּ) be. “in”

But ten men were found among them that said to Ishmael, Slay us not: for we have treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of honey. So he forbore, and slew them not among their brethren.

בָ֗ם (בָ֗) Va “among <the>”בַּשָּׂדֶ֔ה (בַּ) ba. “in the”בְּת֥וֹךְ (בְּ) be. “in”

Now the pit into which Ishmael had cast all the dead bodies of the men, whom he had slain because of Gedaliah, was that which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha king of Israel: and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with them that were slain.
