Jeremiah 43 · Grade 3

Stones at Pharaoh's House

Name Date

Read the Story

When Jeremiah finished speaking, some proud men said he was not telling the truth. They said God had not sent him. They blamed Baruch for turning Jeremiah against them.

So Johanan and the captains did not obey God's voice to stay in Judah. They took all the people, even Jeremiah and Baruch, and went to Egypt. They came to a city called Tahpanhes.

There God told Jeremiah to take great stones. He hid them in the brickwork at the entry of Pharaoh's house. The men of Judah watched. God said that the king of Babylon would come and set his throne on those very stones.
