Tahpanhes
Opis
Tahpanhes=Tehaphnehes, (Grci je nazivali „Daphne“, danas Tell Defenneh), drevni egipatski grad, na Tanitskoj grani Nila, oko 16 milja od Peluzija. Židovi iz Jeruzalema pobjegli su na ovo mjesto nakon smrti Gedalije (vidi), i tamo su se naselili na neko vrijeme [Jr 2:16 ; Jr 43:7 ; Jr 44:1 ; Jr 46:14 ]. Platforma od cigle, za koju se s dobrim razlogom vjeruje da je bila popločanje na ulazu u faraonovu palaču, otkrivena je na ovom mjestu. „Ovdje,“ kaže otkrivač, gospodin Petrie, „odigrala se ceremonija koju opisuje Jeremija [Jr 43:8 –10; 'peć za cigle', tj. popločanje od cigle] pred poglavarima izbjeglica okupljenima na platformi, i ovdje je Nabukodonozor razapeo svoj kraljevski paviljon“ (R.V., „cigleni rad“).

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").
