Tehaphnehes
Beskrywing
Tahpanhes=Tehaphnehes, (genoem "Daphne" deur die Grieke, nou Tell Defenneh), 'n antieke Egiptiese stad, op die Tanitiese tak van die Nyl, ongeveer 16 myl van Pelusium af. Die Jode van Jerusalem het na hierdie plek gevlug na die dood van Gedalja (sien), en het daar vir 'n tydperk gevestig (Jer. [2:16]; [43:7]; [44:1]; [46:14]). 'n Platform van baksteenwerk, wat daar alle rede is om te glo die plaveisel by die ingang van Farao se paleis was, is by hierdie plek ontdek. "Hier," sê die ontdekker, mnr. Petrie, "het die seremonie wat deur Jeremia beskryf is [43:8–10; 'baksteenoon', d.w.s., plaveisel van baksteen] plaasgevind voor die hoofde van die vlugtelinge wat op die platform vergader het, en hier het Nebukadnesar sy koninklike paviljoen gesprei" (R.V., "baksteenwerk").

Tahapanes
= Tahpanhes = Tehaphnehes, (called "Daphne" by the Greeks, now Tell Defenneh), an ancient Egyptian city, on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, about 16 miles from Pelusium. The Jews from Jerusalem fled to this place after the death of Gedaliah (q.v.), and settled there for a time (Jer 2:16 ; 43:7; 44:1; 46:14). A platform of brick-work, which there is every reason to believe was the pavement at the entry of Pharaoh's palace, has been discovered at this place. "Here," says the discoverer, Mr. Petrie, "the ceremony described by Jeremiah [(Jer 43:8 -10); "brick-kiln", i.e., pavement of brick] took place before the chiefs of the fugitives assembled on the platform, and here Nebuchadnezzar spread his royal pavilion" (R.V., "brickwork").
