The Scroll Read in the Temple

1 Now it came to pass in the afourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying:  
2 “Take a ascroll of a book and bwrite on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, against Judah, and against call the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of dJosiah even to this day.  
3 It amay be that the house of Judah will hear all the adversities which I purpose to bring upon them, that everyone may bturn from his evil way, that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.”  
4 Then Jeremiah acalled Baruch the son of Neriah; and bBaruch wrote on a scroll of a book,1 at the instruction of Jeremiah, all the words of the Lord which He had spoken to him.  
5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, “I am confined, I cannot go into the house of the Lord.

Jeremiah 36:2

roll of a book—a book formed of prepared skins made into a roll. Compare "volume of the book," that is, the Pentateuch (Psalms 40:7). It does not follow that his prophecies were not before committed to writing; what is implied is, they were now written together in one volume, so as to be read continuously to the Jews in the temple.

against . . . nations— (Jeremiah 25:15, etc.).

from . . . days of Josiah— (Jeremiah 25:3). From Josiah's thirteenth year (Jeremiah 1:2).
