耶利米書 36:23 RCUVTS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Jeremiah 36:23

(23) Three or four leaves . . .—The English words suggest the idea of a papyrus book rather than a parchment roll (see Note on Jeremiah 36:4), but the Hebrew word (literally = a door) may indicate the column of writing on such a roll, as well as a leaf. The act, in its childish impatience, betrayed the anger of the king. He could not bear to hear of the seventy years of exile which were in store for his people, and which, if we assume the roll to have included the substance of Jeremiah 25:0,... read more

Jehoiakim's Penknife Jeremiah 36:22-25 Jehoiakim sends for the roll; it is brought; he commands it to be read. But when only two or three columns have been read to him, he takes it from the reader, and deliberately cuts it into pieces with his penknife, and throws it into the fire, so that all is destroyed. And that was the answer of Jehoiakim to the Lord and His prophet. I. This was an act of peculiar and intolerable wickedness, burdened with every aggravation possible. 1. It was committed in... read more

CHAPTER IIITHE ROLLJeremiah 36:1-32"Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee."- Jeremiah 36:2THE incidents which form so large a proportion of the contents of our book do not make up a connected narrative; they are merely a series of detached pictures: we can only conjecture the doings and experiences of Jeremiah during the intervals. Chapter 26 leaves him still exposed to the persistent hostility of the priests and prophets, who had apparently... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

MORE MESSAGES FOR JEHOIAKIM This lesson opens with the story of the Rechabites (chap. 35). Jeremiah 35:6-7 show the origin of their name and their “order,” to quote a modern term. The principles of the latter were (1) abstinence form strong drink; (2) voluntary poverty; and (3) a nomadic life. Jeremiah 35:11 gives the explanation of their presence in Jerusalem. Jeremiah 35:12-17 furnish the cause for Jeremiah’s action in the premises, who is to use these followers of Rechab as a kind of... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Jeremiah 36:8-26

It should seem, , that Baruch made great use of this roll, and read in it to the people continually! For it was in the fourth year of Jehoiakim that he wrote it, and began to read it; and here we find him on the fast day in the fifth year still reading in it. And we have a very circumstantial account of the proceedings at this fast. I think, the fear and the terror of their looks are striking proofs of the alarm generally felt in their consciences. The hiding also both of Jeremiah and Baruch... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:23

Pages. Perhaps what was written on so many skins, (Haydock) or sheets of paper, pasted together, and rolled up; or there might be some marks to shew the different subjects, like the sections used in the synagogue, (Calmet) or our chapters; though we are assured that all was formerly written without any separation even of letters. Protestants have "leaves." (Haydock) --- Hebrew, "doors." (Calmet) The secretary cut and burnt the leaves by the king's order, ver. 25. (Worthington) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:20-32

20-32 Those who despise the word of God, will soon show, as this king did, that they hate it; and, like him, they would wish it destroyed. See what enmity there is against God in the carnal mind, and wonder at his patience. The princes showed some concern, till they saw how light the king made of it. Beware of making light of God's word! read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Jeremiah 36:19-32

The Roll Destroyed and Rewritten v. 19. Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye be. The reading had made a deep impression upon them, but they had an instinctive feeling that Jeremiah and Baruch were in danger of their lives on account of the message which they proclaimed, especially since a report of the happening had to be made to the king. v. 20. And they went in to the king, into the court, the great hall or throne-room, but they... read more

3. THE READING BEFORE THE KINGJeremiah 36:19-2619Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide thee, thou and Jeremiah; and Leviticus 2:0; Leviticus 2:00no man know where ye be. And they went in to the king, into the court, but they laid up9 the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in 21the ears of the king. So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe’s chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, 22and in the ears of... read more
