Blow the horn (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tik`u<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) in Tekoa, set up a signal at Beit-hakerem! For evil is appearing from the north and great disaster (1).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two questions present themselves directly: What were Benjaminites doing in a Judean city, and why did Jeremiah single them out with his advice? Radak (on v.1), ostensibly relying on the references to Tekoa and Beit HaKerem that are situated near Jerusalem, interpreted Jeremiah\u2019s advice as summoning Benjaminites to leave those places as well as Jerusalem, and attributed the preferential treatment he afforded them to the fact that Jeremiah himself came from \u201cAnatoth in the territory of Benjamin\u201d (1:1), and speculated that the prophet might even have been related to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shadal,* drawing upon the previous chapters as well, expanded his interpretation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Previously he said, \u201cSet up a signpost: To Zion\u201d (4:6), as though those from other Judean cities would flee to Jerusalem for survival since it was a fortified city, and here he told the Benjaminites to flee from Jerusalem. Previously, he depicted the enemy approaching Judah, whereupon the people fled to the fortified cities. Here, after listing the imperfections of Jerusalem, he threatened her specifically, and depicted the enemy as turning its attention to her alone. Therefore, he told the Benjaminites in Jerusalem to flee to their cities and abandon her. It appears that there were many people from Benjamin in Jerusalem and on account of its proximity to their territory they resided their temporarily. These are those he called upon to return to their own territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, concerning the \u201csignal\u201d (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nes<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) that was to be set up in Beit HaKerem, earlier exegetes had disagreed on its interpretation, with Rashi identifying it as a flag and Radak as a signal fire. Shadal, again exercising his acute sense of grammar, sided with Rashi, pointing out that signal fires (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">masu\u2019ot<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) must be lit up, which would require the causative (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hiph`il<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) of the verb (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hasi\u2019u<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), while the verse uses the simple (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">kal<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) form (<\/span><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">se\u2019u<\/span><\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span
