Jeremiah 33:4

33:4 For I, the Lord God of Israel, have something more to say about the houses in this city and the royal buildings which have been torn down for defenses against the siege ramps and military incursions of the Babylonians: ¹

43:13 He will demolish the sacred pillars in the temple of the sun ²  in Egypt and will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.”’”

Jeremiah 19:13

19:13 The houses in Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled by dead bodies ³  just like this place, Topheth. For they offered sacrifice to the stars ⁴  and poured out drink offerings to other gods on the roofs of those houses.’”

¹ tn Heb “the sword.” The figure has been interpreted for the sake of clarity.

² sn It is generally agreed that the temple of the sun was located in Heliopolis, which is elsewhere referred to as On (cf. Gen 41:45). It was the center for the worship of Amon-Re, the Egyptian sun god, and was famous for its obelisks (conical shaped pillars) dedicated to that god. It was located about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of modern-day Cairo.

³ tn The words “by dead bodies” is not in the text but is implicit from the context. They are supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “the host of heaven.”
