Tahpanhes
Beskrivelse
Tahpanhes=Tehaphnehes, (kaldet "Daphne" af grækerne, nu Tell Defenneh), en gammel egyptisk by, ved den Tanitiske gren af Nilen, omkring 16 miles fra Pelusium. Jøderne fra Jerusalem flygtede til dette sted efter Gedaljas død (se), og bosatte sig der for en tid [Jer 2:16 ; Jer 43:7 ; Jer 44:1 ; Jer 46:14 ]. En platform af murværk, som der er al mulig grund til at tro var belægningen ved indgangen til Faraos palads, er blevet opdaget på dette sted. "Her," siger opdageren, Mr. Petrie, "fandt ceremonien beskrevet af Jeremias [Jer 43:8 -10; 'murstensovn', dvs. belægning af mursten] sted foran flygtningenes høvdinge, der var samlet på platformen, og her bredte Nebukadnezar sit kongelige telt" (R.V., "murværk").

= 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").
