エレミヤ書 36:1-26 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:8

And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him ,.... Here follows Baruch's obedience to the prophet's commands; which he considered no doubt as the will of the Lord, who directed the prophet to give the orders he did; and which he punctually observed, in all respects, as to things, time, and place: reading in the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house ; the prophecies of Jeremiah, which came from the Lord, and which he had transcribed... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:9

And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month ,.... This was a different time of reading the book from the former, enjoined by the prophet, and performed by Baruch, Jeremiah 36:6 ; that was on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim; this was in the fifth year of his reign, and in the ninth month of the year, a year and two months after the former, as it should seem; but Jehoiakim's fifth year beginning in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:10

Then read Baruch in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the Lord ,.... The prophecies of Jeremiah he had taken from him in writing on a roll of parchment; these he read in the temple, in a part of it, after described: in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe ; not a scribe of the law, or an officer of the temple, but the king's chancellor or secretary of state; for this is the title, not of Gemariah, who had a chamber in the temple here mentioned, in which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:11

When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan ,.... Who was present when Baruch read in the roll to the people in his father's chamber; but his father was absent, and was with the princes in the secretary's office at the same time, as Jeremiah 36:12 shows: the son seems to be a more religious man than the father, unless he was placed as a spy, to hear and see what he could: however, when he had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord : which were spoken by the Lord to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:12

Then he went down into the king's house ,.... The royal palace, which was not upon the mountain on which the temple stood, but lay lower, and therefore Micaiah is said to go down to it; with what design he went thither is not certain, whether out of ill will to Jeremiah and Baruch, or out of good will, being affected with what he had heard, and desirous that some steps might be taken by the government to prevent the calamities coming upon them, according to these prophecies; which latter... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:13

Then Micaiah declared all the words that he had heard ,.... The sum and substance of them; for it cannot be thought that he should retain in his memory every word that he had heard; though, as it is very probable he was much struck and affected with what he had heard, he might remember and declare a great deal of it: when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people ; and this he also declared, no doubt, that what he had heard, and then related, were read by Baruch out of a book; as is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:14

Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi ,.... Who, according to Junius, was the king's apparitor: he is described by his descent, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi ; him the princes sent, being not one of their body, but a servant at court: to Baruch ; who was very probably still in the temple, where Micaiah left him: saying, take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come ; that is, to the king's palace, to the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:15

And they said unto him, sit down now ,.... Or, "pray sit down" F17 שב נא "sede quaeso", Vatablus, Schmidt. ; they received him very courteously, and treated him with great humanity, and showed much respect to him, in beseeching him to sit down by them: and read it in our ears ; as he had done in the ears of the people, with an audible voice, clearly and distinctly, that they might be able to hear it, so as to understand it: so Baruch read it in their ears ; without any... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:16

Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words ,.... In the roll or book read by Baruch; they heard them read patiently, which was what the king afterwards would not do: they were afraid both one and another ; both good and bad; for there were some of both sorts among them: or, "a man to his friend" F18 איש אל רעהו "vir ad socium suum", Montanus; "ad proximum suum", Vatablus; "ad amicum suum", Pagninus; "erga socium suum", Schmidt. ; they looked at one another, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:17

And they asked Baruch ,.... The following question, which may seem at first sight an odd, needless, and trifling one, as some have called it: saying, tell us now, how didst thou write all these words at his mouth ? this question does not regard the manner of writing them, whether with ink or not, for that they could see with their eyes, and yet Baruch's answer seems to have respect to this, as if he so understood them; nor barely the matter of them, as whether it was the substance of... read more
