Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 21

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

What is the role of Pashhur in this particular passage as compared with the prior chapter?
Why has the king sent representatives to Jeremiah?
What is the name of the military leader threatening Jerusalem?
Does Jeremiah hesitate in terms of his response?
Is the answer such that Tzidkiyahu would be reassured?
And indeed (Jeremiah 21:7), what is to be the final outcome of the confrontation with the Chaldeans?
What country, then, will conquer and destroy Jerusalem?
Does this sequence posit an inevitable consequence to anti-mitzvah (or non-mitzvah) living (Jeremiah 21:14)?
