Jeremiah 40:9 in Context — Jeremiah 40
7 E quando todos os príncipes do exércitos que estavam no campo, eles e seus homens, ouviram que o rei da Babilônia tinha posto a Gedalias filho de Aicã sobre a terra, e que tinha lhe encarregado dos homens, mulheres, e crianças, e os pobres da terra, os quais não foram levados em cativeiro à Babilônia,
8 Vieram, pois, a Gedalias em Mispá. [Eram eles] : Ismael, filho de Netanias, Joanã e Jônatas, filhos de Careá, Seraías, filho de Tanumete, os filhos de Efai, o netofatita, e Jezanias, filho do maacatita; eles e seu homens.
9 E Gedalias filho de Aicã, filho de Safã, jurou a eles e a seus homens, dizendo: Não temais servir aos caldeus; habitai na terra, e servi ao rei da Babilônia, e tereis bem.
10 E eis que eu habito em Mispá, para estar diante dos caldeus que vierem a nós; e vós, colhei o vinho, os frutos do verão, e o azeite, e [os] ponde em vossos vasos, e habitai em vossas cidades que tomastes.
11 E da mesma maneira todos os judeus que estavam em Moabe, e entre os filhos de Amom, e em Edom, e os que [estavam] em todas as terras, ouviram dizer que o rei da Babilônia tinha deixado alguns em Judá, e que tinha posto sobre eles a Gedalias filho de Aicã, filho de Safã.
