Jeremiah (the prophet)

예레미야 (선지자)

Named at Jeremiah 1:1 as the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. 1:2–3 say that the LORD’s word came to him “in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign”, and “also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, to the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah”; the passage 1:4–10 that follows is told in the first person and opens, “Now the LORD’s word came to me, saying, ‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.’” No verse of 1:4–10 names the speaker. Jeremiah 19:14–20:3 says that Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, stood in the court of the LORD’s house and spoke to all the people; that Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the LORD’s house, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things, struck Jeremiah the prophet and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, and released him on the next day; and that Jeremiah then said to Pashhur, “The LORD has not called your name Pashhur, but Magormissabib.” Jeremiah 26:7–8 says, “The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the LORD’s house. When Jeremiah had finished speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people seized him, saying, ‘You shall surely die!’” At 26:11 the priests and the prophets said to the princes and to all the people, “This man is worthy of death”, and at 26:16 the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, “This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God.” 26:24 says, “But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so that they didn’t give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.” Jeremiah 32:2–3 says that when the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem, “Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house”, for Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up; and 32:6–12, in the first-person telling that opens “Jeremiah said,” that Jeremiah bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel his uncle’s son, weighed him seventeen shekels of silver, and delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah. Jeremiah 37:11–16 says that he was seized in Benjamin’s gate by Irijah, a captain of the guard, brought to the princes, struck, and put in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; 37:21, that Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed him into the court of the guard; 38:6–13, that he was thrown into the dungeon of Malchijah the king’s son, and that Ebedmelech the Ethiopian took men with him and they lifted him up out of the dungeon with cords; 38:28, that he stayed in the court of the guard until the day that Jerusalem was taken; 39:13–14, that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard and those with him took him out of the court of the guard and committed him to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam; and 40:1–6, that Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard let him go from Ramah and gave him food and a present, and that he went to Gedaliah to Mizpah and lived with him among the people. Jeremiah 43:1–7 says that when Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah and all the proud men said to him, “You speak falsely,” and that Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, with Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch the son of Neriah, and came into the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes. Matthew 2:17 names him as the prophet Jeremiah whose words are quoted; he is not present in the scene.
