Commentary

5 notes on this verse
My servant - See Jer 25:9 note. That I have hid - i. e., that I have embedded in the mortar by the instrumentality of my prophet. Pavilion - Rather, canopy. It probably means the parasol held over kings, which had a tall and thick pole, grasped with both hands, and in the early times a somewhat small circular top.

This site's exposition

Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes

on Jeremiah 43:8-11

At Tahpanhes Jeremiah is told to bury “large stones” at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace. Nebuchadnezzar is called “My servant,” as in 25:9 and 27:6, and he will set his throne over these stones. Egypt will receive “death to those destined for death,” as Judah did in 15:2.

This minute circumstance is particularly foretold, that, when it was accomplished, they might be put in mind of the prophecy and confirmed in their belief of the extent and certainly of the divine prescience, to which the smallest and most contingent events are evident.

7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the L ORD : thus came they even to Tahpanhes. What God said to the builders of Babel may be truly said of this people that Jeremiah is now dealing with: Now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do, Gen. xi.
