Place situate in Egypt, probably a part of Upper Egypt, where there were many Jews who set Jeremiah at defiance (Jer. 44:1,15¹The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews which dwell in the land of Egypt, which dwell at Migdol, and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the country of Pathros, saying, (Jeremiah 44:1)
¹⁵Then all the men which knew that their wives had burned incense unto other gods, and all the women that stood by, a great multitude, even all the people that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, answered Jeremiah, saying, (Jeremiah 44:15)). In a future day the Israelites will be gathered from thence, and the place be destroyed (Isa. 11:11¹¹And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. (Isaiah 11:11); Ezek. 22:14¹⁴Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the Lord have spoken it, and will do it. (Ezekiel 22:14); Ezek. 30:14¹⁴And I will make Pathros desolate, and will set fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments in No. (Ezekiel 30:14)).
