Tahpanhes: A City in Egypt

The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved the crown of your head.

So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes. …

This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews living in the land of Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpanhes, and Memphis—and in the land of Pathros:

“Announce it in Egypt, and proclaim it in Migdol; proclaim it in Memphis and Tahpanhes: ‘Take your positions and prepare yourself, for the sword devours those around you.’

The day will be darkened in Tahpanhes when I break the yoke of Egypt and her proud strength comes to an end. A cloud will cover her, and her daughters will go into captivity.
