Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 40 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 40

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Would the Babylonian aristocracy, as narrated here, appear to be familiar with the content of Jeremiah’s teaching?
What options do the conquerors give to the prophet?
What is Jeremiah’s choice?
Is Gedaliah prepared to accept Babylonian hegemony for whatever and whomsoever is left in Judea (Jeremiah 40:9)?
Would Jeremiah 40:11 indicate that the dispersion of the Jews was (already) widespread?
Would Jeremiah 40:13-16 indicate that Gedaliah’s position was “shaky”?
