Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 41 - The Digital Home for Conservative Judaism

Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 41

Exploring Judaism

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

Judging by the listing of names in Jeremiah 41 and other chapters, would it appear that “someone” had kept careful records?
What does the phrase “from royal stock” convey (Jeremiah 41:1)?
Why is Gedaliah assassinated? Does the text specify?
What ensues following the killing and what does the act imply as to Babylonian reaction (Jeremiah 41:18)?
How is Gedaliah’s murder reflected in the Jewish calendar to the present?
