Jeremiah 36:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 36:6

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.

6 You go, therefore, and read from the scroll which you have written¹ at my instruction, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house on ^athe day of fasting. And you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities.

7 It may be that they will present their supplication before the Lord, and everyone will turn from his evil way. For great is the anger and the fury that the Lord has pronounced against this people.”

8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord’s house.

9 Now it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.

10 Then Baruch read from the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the upper court at the ^aentry of the New Gate of the Lord’s house, in the¹ hearing of all the people.

11 When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the book,

12 he then went down to the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber; and there all the princes were sitting—^aElishama the scribe, Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, ^bElnathan the son of Achbor, Gemariah the son of Shaphan, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
