Tehaphnehes
Deskripsi
Tahpanhes=Tehaphnehes, (disebut "Daphne" oleh orang Yunani, sekarang Tell Defenneh), sebuah kota kuno di Mesir, terletak di cabang Tanitik dari Sungai Nil, sekitar 16 mil dari Pelusium. Orang-orang Yahudi dari Yerusalem melarikan diri ke tempat ini setelah kematian Gedaliah (lihat), dan menetap di sana untuk sementara waktu [Yer 2:16 ; Yer 43:7 ; Yer 44:1 ; Yer 46:14 ]. Sebuah platform dari batu bata, yang diyakini sebagai lantai di pintu masuk istana Firaun, telah ditemukan di tempat ini. "Di sini," kata penemunya, Mr. Petrie, "upacara yang dijelaskan oleh Yeremia [Yer 43:8 -10; 'tempat pembakaran batu bata', yaitu, lantai dari batu bata] berlangsung di hadapan para pemimpin pelarian yang berkumpul di platform, dan di sini Nebukadnezar membentangkan paviliun kerajaannya" (R.V., "batu bata").

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").
