Context — God's Judgment on Jehoiachingenerated
Jeremiah 22:26 conveys a strong message of judgment from God against King Jehoiachin and his mother. The context shows that they will be forcibly removed from their homeland and taken to a foreign land, where they will meet their end. This passage is part of a larger warning about the consequences of disobedience to God, as seen in the surrounding verses, including Jeremiah 22:25 and 22:27.

The Key Word — וְהֵֽטַלְתִּ֣י, ve.he.tal.Tigenerated
The verb טוּל (tul) means to throw or cast away. It is used in various forms to describe the act of hurling or carrying something off. In this verse, it indicates a decisive action taken by God against Jehoiachin, emphasizing the severity of the judgment.
The Hiphil form indicates causation, suggesting that God is the one causing this action to take place. The use of this verb here underscores the forcefulness of the judgment being pronounced.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses hurl to convey the action of casting out.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb וְהֵֽטַלְתִּ֣י governs the entire sentence, indicating the action of throwing out. Several noun phrases follow, detailing the objects of this action: the king and his mother.
The structure emphasizes the direct consequences of God's judgment, with the adverbial phrases specifying the location and the ultimate fate of the subjects.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates וְהֵֽטַלְתִּ֣י with ἀπορρίψω (aporrhipso), which means 'to throw away' or 'cast off.' This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but may suggest a more definitive rejection.
The use of ἀπορρίψω indicates a similar emphasis on the act of being cast out, reinforcing the judgment theme present in the Hebrew text.
