The statement given is false.
- The Babylonians did conquer the Kingdom of Judah, and Jeremiah, the prophet, was permitted to remain in Judah after the Babylonian conquest. However, Jeremiah was not abducted by a group of Jews and taken as captives to Egypt.
- There are no historical accounts or biblical records suggesting that Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch were forcibly taken to Egypt by a group of Jews. Instead, according to historical accounts and biblical records, Jeremiah died or disappeared in Egypt, likely after voluntarily going there with other Judeans who fled after the Babylonian conquest.
