Jerusalem was Judah’s capital, from which King Jeconiah and others had been deported by Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon, the chief city of Chaldea in Mesopotamia. Egypt, Judah’s southern neighbor, represented an alternative refuge, but Jeremiah’s vision concerns God’s differing purposes for those taken to Babylon and those remaining.
