H0413–אֶל–el

Now when Ebed-melech 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”

Ebed-melech went forth out of the king's house, and spake 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 like 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 Ebed-melech took the men with him, and went into the house of the king under the treasury, and took thence 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”

And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said unto Jeremiah, Put now these rags and worn-out garments under thine armholes under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

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

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

Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I declare it unto thee, wilt thou not surely put me to death? and if I give thee counsel, thou wilt not hearken unto me.

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

So Zedekiah the king sware secretly unto Jeremiah, saying, As Jehovah liveth, that made us this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give thee into the hand of these men that seek thy life.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

Then said Jeremiah unto Zedekiah, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: If thou wilt go forth unto the king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall live, and this city shall not be burned with fire; and thou shalt live, and thy house.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”

But if thou wilt 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 thou shalt not escape out of their hand.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

And Zedekiah the king said unto Jeremiah, I am afraid of the Jews that 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 thee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of Jehovah, in that which I speak unto thee: so it shall be well with thee, and thy soul shall live.

אֵלֶ֔יךָ (אֵלֶ֔י) 'e.Lei. “to”

behold, all the women that 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, Thy familiar friends have set thee on, and have prevailed over thee: [ergänzt: now that] thy feet are sunk in the mire, they are turned away back.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

And they shall bring out all thy wives and thy children to the Chaldeans; and thou shalt not escape out of their hand, but shalt be taken by the hand of the king of Babylon: and thou shalt cause this city to be burned with fire.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

Then said Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no man know of these words, and thou shalt not die.

אֶֽל־ 'el- “to”

But if the princes hear that I have talked with thee, and they come unto thee, and say unto thee, Declare unto us now what thou hast said unto the king; hide it not from us, and we will not put thee to death; also what the king said unto thee:

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

then thou shalt say unto 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 unto 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”

And it came to pass 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 upon him.

אֶל־ 'el- “to”

Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.

אֵלֶ֔יךָ (אֵלֶ֔י) 'e.Lei. “to”

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

אֶל־ 'el- “to”אֶל־ 'el- “to”

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

וְאֶֽל־ (אֶֽל) 'el- “to”

Go, and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith Jehovah 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 before thee in that day.

אֶל־ 'el- “against”

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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, that were carried away captive unto Babylon.
