Context Readings

Flight To Egypt

13 If you say: We will not stay in this land, and you disobey Jehovah your God. 14 saying, “No, but we will go to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war or hear the sound of a trumpet or hunger for bread, and we will stay there”; 15 Listen to the word of Jehovah, you people who are left in Judah. This is what Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Suppose you are determined to go to Egypt, and you go and live there.
