Matthew Poole and continuators on Jeremiah 42:13

13 But if ye say, we will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of the LORD your God .

Our Translation a little darkens the sense, translating the Heb. particle [non-Latin text not transcribed] neither which signifies no more then not or by no means, Numb. 14.16. 1 Sam. 2.2. and 20.26. Hos. 13.4. and it is certain here is but one thing spoken of, for the thing wherein [illegible: 1 letter]hey disobeyed the voice of the Lord, was not continuing in their own land, but going into the Land of Egypt.
