Usage: Tahpanhes is a city in ancient Egypt mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is known as a place where Jewish refugees fled after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. The name is often associated with a location of safety and refuge, albeit temporary, for the Israelites during a time of crisis. Cultural and Historical Background: Tahpanhes, identified with the modern site of Tell Defenneh, was an important frontier city in the northeastern Nile Delta of Egypt. It served as a military and administrative center during the 26th Dynasty of Egypt. The city is historically significant as it was a place where the prophet Jeremiah and other Jewish exiles sought refuge following the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC. The presence of a Jewish community in Tahpanhes highlights the interconnectedness of the ancient Near Eastern cultures and the movement of peoples during times of political upheaval.
