⁴ So Yoḥ

⁵ And Yoḥ

⁶ the men, and the women, and the children, and the sovereign’s daughters, and every being whom Neḇ

⁷ So they went to the land of Mitsrayim, for they disobeyed the voice of יהוה. And they went as far as Taḥ

⁸ And the word of יהוה  came to Yirmeyahu in Taḥ

⁹ “Take large stones in your hand, and you shall hide them before the eyes of the men of Yehuḏ

¹⁰ “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus said יהוה  of hosts, the Elohim of Yisra’ĕ

¹¹ “And he shall come and smite the land of Mitsrayim, bringing death to those appointed for death, and captivity to those for captivity, and the sword to those for the sword.

¹² “And he shall set fire to the houses of the mighty ones of Mitsrayim. And he shall burn them and take them captive. And he shall cover himself with the land of Mitsrayim, as a shepherd puts on his garment, and he shall go out from there in peace.

¹³ “And he shall break the stone pillars of the House of the Sun which are in the land of Mitsrayim, and he shall burn the houses of the mighty ones of the Mitsrites with fire.” ’ ”
