109. Internal Meaning of Jeremiah, Chapter 43

1-4 But this was not done. (2, 1)

5-7 They consulted the knowledges [scientifica] of the natural man. (2)

8-13 Thus they will perish by reasonings from these, and the knowledges themselves would be perverted by adapting them to falsities. (2)

⁶ the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah;

⁷ and they came into the land of Egypt; for they didn't obey the voice of Yahweh: and they came to Tahpanhes.
