Yirmeyahu was remembered as coming from Anatot. The collection places his death at Tachpanhes in Mitzrayim, where he was stoned, and says he was buried near the place associated with Pharaoh's residence.

Mitzrayim was said to honor him because his prayer drove away poisonous serpents. Later memory claimed that dust from the burial place was used against serpent bites, and that Alexandros of Makedon transferred his bones to Alexandria after hearing of these signs.

One strand says Yirmeyahu warned the priests of Mitzrayim that their hand-made powers would fall when a remarkable child-bearing woman appeared among them. This is a later interpretive layer and is not allowed to control the memorial core.

The older covenantal strand says that before the destruction of the House he concealed the Ark, the Torah objects, and the sacred vessels within rock. He declared that the concealed things would not be brought out by ordinary hands and that the place would remain hidden until the appointed restoration. The story joins Yirmeyahu with Mosheh as guardians of covenantal testimony.
