Tahpanhes
Penerangan
Tahpanhes=Tehaphnehes, (disebut "Daphne" oleh orang Yunani, kini Tell Defenneh), sebuah kota kuno Mesir, di cabang Tanitik Sungai Nil, kira-kira 16 batu dari Pelusium. Orang Yahudi dari Yerusalem melarikan diri ke tempat ini setelah kematian Gedaliah (lihat), dan menetap di sana untuk suatu masa [Yer 2:16 ; Yer 43:7 ; Yer 44:1 ; Yer 46:14 ]. Sebuah platform dari kerja bata, yang ada setiap alasan untuk percaya adalah lantai di pintu masuk istana Firaun, telah ditemui di tempat ini. "Di sini," kata penemu, Encik Petrie, "upacara yang diterangkan oleh Yeremia [Yer 43:8 -10; 'kiln bata', iaitu, lantai dari bata] berlaku di hadapan ketua-ketua pelarian yang berkumpul di platform, dan di sini Nebukadnezar membentangkan pavilion dirajanya" (R.V., "kerja 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").
