Comentario citado sobre Jeremías 42:3

AFTER THE ETERNAL YOUR G-D SHALL YE WALK. This is a commandment that we follow His counsel, and of Him alone shall we inquire concerning every hidden thing and inquire concerning the future, as it is written, and she went to inquire of the Eternal;¹⁴⁵Genesis 25:22. because the people come unto me to inquire of G-d.¹⁴⁶Exodus 18:15. And so did the Israelites do with the prophets, [as it is said,] Is there not here a prophet of the Eternal, that we may inquire of the Eternal through him?;¹⁴⁷II Kings 3:11. that the Eternal thy G-d may tell us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing we should do.¹⁴⁸Jeremiah 42:3. And in the Sifre it is stated:¹⁴⁹Sifre, R’eih 85. “After the Eternal your G-d [shall ye walk] — this refers to the cloud [of Glory].”¹⁵⁰See Ramban to Numbers 9:19: “They did the will of G-d in following after the cloud [of Glory].” See also my Hebrew commentary here p. 406. This is as we have explained, that we are to hearken to the “voice” of His signs and follow His counsel.

I will chastise them as I let their congregation hear I will bring chastisements upon them according to all that I let them hear through Jeremiah the prophet, that they are destined to say to him (42:2-6) “And pray in our behalf etc. And let the Lord your God tell etc. Whether good or bad etc.” And he said to them (verse 15f.), “If you direct your faces to come to Egypt etc. the sword that you fear will overtake you there,” and the entire section.
