Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Jeremiah 36:19-26

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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

a Vain Attempt to Destroy God’s Word Jeremiah 36:1-32 These written words had been directly given from God, Jeremiah 36:18 . The fast was instituted to seek divine help in the approaching conflict with Nebuchadnezzar. But of what good is a fast while the evils of apostasy and disobedience are unredressed? It was against these that Jeremiah protested; and his words were read to a vast concourse of people by Baruch his faithful friend. It was the month of December, and the royal chamber was... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 36:1-32

This chapter constitutes an interpolation in the chronological order of Jeremiah's prophesying. In detail it tells the story of the writing of the words of Jeremiah in a book to which he had incidentally made reference in his introduction to the prophecies of hope. The command had come to him in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim. He had called Baruch, to whom he had committed the deed of the purchase of the field in Anathoth, and had dictated to him all the words committed to him by... read more

Jeremiah 1:4 The word of the Lord came unto me. Jeremiah 1:9 The Lord put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And the Lord said unto me, Behold, I have put My words... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:1-32

SECTION 2 (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 ). (continued). As we have previously seen this Section of Jeremiah from Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 45:5 divides up into four main subsections, which are as follows: 1. Commencing With A Speech In The Temple Jeremiah Warns Of What Is Coming And Repudiates The Promises Of The False Prophets (Jeremiah 26:1 to Jeremiah 29:32). 2. Following The Anguish To Come Promises Are Given Of Eventual Restoration, Central To Which is A New Covenant Written In... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Jeremiah 36. The Writing of the Roll.— This chapter narrates how the oral prophecies of Jeremiah were first put into writing (604 B.C.). The account is obviously important for the criticism of this book see Introduction, § 4, for the probable contents of the roll. The circumstances also throw light on the origin of written prophecy in general; the failure of the oral testimony ( Jeremiah 36:3 cf. Isaiah 8:1; Isaiah 8:16; Isaiah 30:8) led to its preservation through writing. The pioneers... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Jeremiah 36:26

The king was not satisfied with burning the roll, but gives order to apprehend both Jeremiah and Baruch, and commandeth the three persons named in this verse to do it; but God by his providence kept them both out of their hands. How the Lord hid them we are not told; the princes (as we read before) advised Baruch that they should both hide themselves. This phrase (probably) imports no more than that God directed them to find such a place of recess as the king’s messengers could by no means find... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTES.—1. Chronology of the Chapter.—“Fourth of Jehoiakim.” See Note on chap. 25.2. National Affairs.—Jehoiakim was at that time vassal of Pharoah-Necho; but Nebuchadnezzar invaded Jerusalem, carried off a few prisoners and some of the Temple treasures (Daniel 1:1-2), and compelled Jehoiakim to become his vassal, thus subjugating the nation to Babylon instead of Egypt. This was a sore pang and degradation to Jehoiakim; and when Jeremiah prophesied (Jeremiah 36:29) that... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Jeremiah 36:1-32

This time shall we turn to Jeremiah chapter 36 as we continue our journey through the Word of God towards heaven.Now as we have pointed out, the prophecies of Jeremiah are not in chronological order but they sort of skip around, and so it is important at the beginning of each chapter where Jeremiah locates for you the time and usually the place of the prophecy so that you'll be able to fit it more into the historic events. Because you just can't read Jeremiah in a chronological order, it isn't... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 36:1-32

Jeremiah 36:1 . The fourth year of Jehoiakim. Though this chapter seems out of its place, yet it may not be so, but may be a reference to past events. Jeremiah 36:2 . Take thee a roll of a book. Ancient volumes of parchment were rolled, and sometimes on a staff. The writing was in columns from the right to the left, so that the reader could with ease coil up in his right hand what he had read. Jeremiah 36:3 . It may be that the house of Judah will hear that I may forgive their... read more
