Jeremiah
Jeremiah 26:9, 17, 31:8, 44:15, 50:9
Jeremiah 26:9 How dare you claim Y’H'Vah’s authority to prophesy such things! How dare you claim his authority to prophesy that this temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will become an uninhabited ruin!” Then all the people WERE GATHERED TOGETHER against Jeremiah.
(vye-qah-hell call ha-ahm / kai egzek’klay-sias-thay pas hoe laos)
* Jeremiah 26:17 Then some of the elders of Judah stepped forward and spoke TO THE whole MULTITUDE of the people. They said,
(ell call q’hall ha ahm / pasay hay sunago-ogay tou laou)
Note: “to all the people gathered there” in some translations. For other interesting translations of qahall see Numbers 22:4
* Jeremiah 31:8 Then I will reply, ‘I will bring them back from the land of the north. I will gather them in from the distant parts of the earth. Blind and lame people will come with them, so will pregnant women and women about to give birth. A LARGE MULTITUDE of people will come back here.
(qah-hall gah-dole / oakhloan poloon)
Note: “a vast throng” NetBible. For more interesting English renderings of qahall or ecclesia see Numbers 22:4
* Jeremiah 44:15 Then all the men who were aware that their wives were sacrificing to other gods, as well as all their wives, answered Jeremiah. There was A GREAT MULTITUDE of them representing all the people who lived in northern and southern Egypt. They answered,
(qah-hall gah-dole / sunago-ogay megalay)
Note: NetBible “a great crowd of them”. For more interesting English renderings of qahall or ecclesia see Numbers 22:4
Also notice the unspiritual nature of qahall. This is just a lot of people there. It was not a local congregation or a church or worship service. See Genesis 49:6
* Jeremiah 50:9 For I will rouse into action and bring against Babylon A MULTITUDE of mighty nations from the land of the north. They will set up their battle lines against her. They will come from the north and capture her. Their arrows will be like a skilled soldier who does not return from the battle empty-handed.
(q’hall go-eem g’doe-leem / sunago-ogas ethnone)
Note: For the unscriptural nature of qahall see Genesis 49:6
Also note NETBible “a host of mighty nations”. For more interesting English renderings of qahall or ecclesia see Numbers 22:4
Lamentations 1:10
* Lamentations 1:10 An enemy grabbed all her valuables. Indeed she watched in horror as foreigners invaded her sanctuary (temple) – those whom you had commanded: “They must not enter A MULTITUDE who belong to you.”
(ba qah-hall lockh / eis ek’klaysian sou)
