Study note
Setting — Yahweh speaks to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes, immediately after the Jewish remnant arrives in Egypt.
The words — דְבַר־יְהוָה (de.var-Yahweh) translates literally as "word of Yahweh," and וַיְהִי (va/y.Hi) means "and it came," marking the arrival of divine communication.

Why it lands — The text records a specific divine message arriving at a foreign site, requiring the reader to acknowledge that God's communication follows His people into exile and demands immediate action.
