Guiding Questions: Jeremiah 49

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Why is there no specific statement such as “A prophecy regarding” or a similar introduction (see Jeremiah 46:1)?
  2. Who will inherit what remains of Amon?
  3. But, as with Moab, what ultimate destiny (Jeremiah 49:6)?
  4. With Jeremiah 49:7, the text turns to…?
  5. Why is Esau mentioned; cognomen for…?
  6. Does the phrasing of Jeremiah 49:16 indicate the native of the Edomite country?
  7. What destruction awaits Edorn, in Torah terms (Jeremiah 49:18)?
  8. In Jeremiah 49:22, the eagle symbol is employed destructively. How is it presented in Torah text for the departure of the Israelites from Egypt?
  9. In Jeremiah 49:23, the text turns to?
  10. And in Jeremiah 49:28?
  11. In all instances, who is the “Divine instrument” for this destruction?
  12. Other countries have been dealt with, but the seeming introduction in Jeremiah 49:34 is for what possible purpose?
  13. And in each instance (with but few exceptions), what will become of the nations destroyed?
