The NIV translation makes the meaning clearer: Jeremiah 9:11 " I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, a den of jackals. I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant" The archaic language of the KJV reads as follows: "And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant."

Where and when did Jeremiah work?

Although he went down to Egypt later, most of Jeremiah's work was in and around Jerusalem, towards the end of the 5th millennium BCE (according to traditional chronology).AnswerHistorians have established with reasonable certainty that the Babylonian Exile took place in 586 BCE. Jeremiah worked in Jerusalem during the latter part of the reign of Jehoiakim (c 635-597), urging him to surrender to Nebuchadrezzar, and until the time of the Exile. He then fled to Egypt where he settled in Tahpanhes in the eastern delta, and continued to provoke the anger of his fellow Judeans, on one occasion over their continued worship of the 'queen of heaven' (Jereremiah 44).

Who was Jeremiah and what were his contributions?

A:Jeremiah was a Jewish prophet, or religious leader, who lived during the turbulent times immediately before the Babylonian Exile and the early years of Exile. He was the author of the Book of Jeremiah and is sometimes also credited with the Book of Lamentations, although this last is probably unlikely. Jeremiah strongly urged the king and the people to accept rule from Babylon, saying that Babylon was to be feared if Jerusalem continued to oppose it and predicting greater suffering unless this rule was accepted.After the fall of Jerusalem, Jeremiah settled in Tahpanhes in the eastern Nile delta, where he continued to provoke the anger of his fellow Jews with his insistence that only one God should be worshipped, a concept that did not yet have universal acceptance. He blamed the capture of Jerusalem on those Jews who had continued to worship other gods, and warning the Jews who had fled to Egypt not to worship the old gods, lest they be destroyed. His greatest criticism was for the continued worship of Asherah, the "queen of heaven" (Jereremiah 44).

When was the book of Baruch written?

If you believe the book is authentically from Baruch ben Neriah (secretary to the Prophet Jeremiah), then it would be 5 years after the destruction of Jerusalem and the beginning of the Babylonian Exile (582 BC). If you believe it is a book compiled from an Deutero-Isaian/Jeremian prophetic school (like if Jeremiah and Baruch had disciples who continued teaching what they had taught and then eventually compiled a book), then it could be around the Hasmonean Revolt (160s BC). If you believe a more Historical-Critical Method of scholarship (it is essentially an anonymous book with an intro added referencing a Biblical hero), then it could be any period of Jewish history where people needed comfort (some say 200s BC, some say as late as 200 AD.) And on top of that, this school of scholarship also holds that it likely was originally 3 (or 4, if the Letter of Jeremiah is included as chapter 6) separate works (1:10-3:8, a prayer of repentance; 3:9-4:4, a Wisdom poem; 4:5-5:9, an Isaian Messianic prophecy; with 1:1-9 as the intro added later) (Just a random addition of info: the Jewish Canon was likely not settled until roughly the same time the Christian OT Canon was settled [300s], and the Jews did not end up including Baruch. The Christians accepted it.) Another thing that comes up is the Letter of Jeremiah. In the Greek Septuagint, Baruch and the Letter are separate books (the order of the books was Jeremiah, Baruch, Lamentations, Letter of Jeremiah, Ezekiel), and in the Latin Vulgate, the Letter is chapter 6 of Baruch (the order being Jeremiah, Lamentations, Baruch, and Ezekiel.) It was also common at the time to reference Baruch (and Lamentations) as the Book of Jeremiah (as they were thought of as one huge work) Sorry for all the info, hopefully it was helpful


What is the furthest distance a Jewish community settled outside of Jerusalem?

There are Jews in Honolulu, Hawaii, which is 8,679 miles or 13,967 kilometers away from Jerusalem. There is also a Jewish community in Valparaíso, Chile which is slightly closer to Jerusalem. The furthest locations in the world from Jerusalem are those in the vicinity of Papeete (18,000 km.), which has a Jewish community and synagogue. In ancient times, the furthest community may have been the Chinese Jews. Jewish traders came to Kaifeng along the Silk Road and some settled there, at least 1000 years ago (some historians place this centuries earlier).

What are the settlement patterns in israel?

Initially settlements were not planned propelry as settlers decided where they wanted to go and start a community. Recently, the court system in Israel and the military (along with politicians) have played a increasingly large role in deciding where settlements can be build and if they are legal or appropriate. Currently, Jerusalem is the focus of settlements as muncipalities of East Jerusalem is being settled by settlers who want to keep Jerusalem part of Israel.
