This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt
on Jeremiah 44:1-6
The word goes to the Jews in Egypt, from Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis in the north to Pathros in the south. “You have seen all the disaster that I brought against Jerusalem.” The cause was incense burned to “other gods that neither they nor you nor your fathers ever knew.”
