Jeremiah 2:16
_ _ Noph ... Tahapanes — Memphis, capital of Lower Egypt, on the west bank of the Nile, near the pyramids of Gizeh, opposite the site of modern Cairo. Daphne, on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, near Pelusium, on the frontier of Egypt towards Palestine. Isaiah 30:4 contracts it, Hanes. These two cities, one the capital, the other that with which the Jews came most in contact, stand for the whole of Egypt. Tahapanes takes its name from a goddess, Tphnet [Champollion]. Memphis is from Man-nofri, “the abode of good men”; written in Hebrew, Moph (Hosea 9:6), or Noph. The reference is to the coming invasion of Judah by Pharaoh-necho of Egypt, on his return from the Euphrates, when he deposed Jehoahaz and levied a heavy tribute on the land (2 Kings 23:33-35). Josiah’s death in battle with the same Pharaoh is probably included (2 Kings 23:29, 2 Kings 23:30).
_ _ have broken — rather, shall feed down the crown, etc., that is, affect with the greatest ignominy, such as baldness was regarded in the East (Jeremiah 48:37; 2 Kings 2:23). Instead of “also,” translate, “even” the Egyptians, in whom thou dost trust, shall miserably disappoint thy expectation [Maurer]. Jehoiakim was twice leagued with them (2 Kings 23:34, 2 Kings 23:35): when he received the crown from them, and when he revolted from Nebuchadnezzar (2 Kings 24:1, 2 Kings 24:2, 2 Kings 24:7). The Chaldeans, having become masters of Asia, threatened Egypt. Judea, situated between the contending powers, was thus exposed to the inroads of the one or other of the hostile armies; and unfortunately, except in Josiah’s reign, took side with Egypt, contrary to God’s warnings. |
Jeremiah 2:16
Noph, &c. — Two of the kings of Egypt's principal seats. Noph was sometimes called Memphis, now Cairo. Tahapanes probably took its name from Taphanes queen of Egypt, 1 Kings 11:19, called also Hanes: Isaiah 30:4. The inhabitants of these cities are called here their children. |
Jeremiah 2:16
Also the children of (z) Noph and Tahapanes have (a) broken the crown of thy head.
(z) That is, the Egyptians, for these were two great cities in Egypt.
(a) Have grievously vexed you at various times. |
