Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 39

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. According to Jeremiah 39:1-2, how long was Jerusalem sieged?
  2. What is the action of the leadership following the breach of the walls?
  3. And what becomes of Tzidkiyahu? Is the prophetic prediction realized?
  4. Were any Jews permitted to remain in Judea (Jeremiah 39:10)?
  5. What is the lot of Jeremiah (Jeremiah 39:11-14)?
  6. Who, now, is the conduit of Jeremiah’s message to the residual leadership and why this selection (Jeremiah 39:16)?
  7. Who, now, is the political “leader” of what is left in Judea?
