What is Tahpanhes?
TAH'PANHES
, a city on the Tanitic branch of the Nile, in Lower Egypt, and called Tahapanes and Tehaphnehes; possibly the Hanes of Isa 30:4; Jer 2:16; Jer 43:7-9; Jer 44:1; Jer 46:14; Eze 30:18. The name resembles that of the Egyptian queen Tahpenes, referred to in 1 Kgs 11:18-20. Jeremiah, after the murder of Gedaliah, was taken to this place, and Pharaoh had a palace built or restored there, made of clay in a brick-kiln. The children of Noph (Memphis) and of Tahapanhes are used to represent the entire body of the Egyptians. Jer 2:16. It is identical with the Daphne of the Greeks. The site of Daphne is supposed to be marked by a mound called Tel Defenneh, which lies nearly in a direct line between the modern Zan and Plusium.
