Strong's Lexicon Baruk: Baruch Original Word: בָּרוּךְ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּרַךְ (barak), meaning "to bless." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Baruch in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, the concept of blessing is captured in Greek by the word εὐλογέω (eulogeo, Strong's G2127), meaning "to bless." Usage: The name "Baruch" means "blessed" in Hebrew. It is used as a proper noun to refer to specific individuals in the Bible, most notably Baruch, the scribe and faithful companion of the prophet Jeremiah. Cultural and Historical Background: Baruch was a scribe during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BCE, a tumultuous period in Judah's history marked by political upheaval and the Babylonian exile. As a scribe, Baruch played a crucial role in recording and preserving the prophecies of Jeremiah. His position would have required literacy and a deep understanding of the religious and cultural context of his time. Baruch's loyalty to Jeremiah and his willingness to endure persecution highlight the challenges faced by those who remained faithful to God's message during times of national crisis.
