Take another scroll
The command to "take another scroll" signifies God's unyielding determination to communicate His message despite human opposition. The Hebrew word for "scroll" is "מְגִלָּה" (megillah), which refers to a rolled document made of papyrus or leather. In ancient times, scrolls were the primary medium for recording important texts. This command underscores the permanence and resilience of God's Word, which cannot be destroyed by human actions. It serves as a reminder that God's purposes will prevail, and His message will continue to be proclaimed, regardless of attempts to suppress it.

and write on it
The instruction to "write on it" emphasizes the importance of the written word in preserving divine revelation. The Hebrew verb "כָּתַב" (kathav) means to inscribe or record. Writing was a meticulous process in ancient times, requiring skill and precision. This act of writing signifies the careful preservation and transmission of God's message. It highlights the role of the prophet as a scribe, faithfully recording the words given by God. This phrase also points to the enduring nature of Scripture, which has been meticulously preserved through generations.

all the words that were on the first scroll
The phrase "all the words that were on the first scroll" indicates the completeness and accuracy required in the transmission of God's message. The Hebrew word "כָּל" (kol) means "all" or "every," signifying that nothing should be omitted or altered. This reflects the belief in the inerrancy and sufficiency of Scripture, where every word is considered divinely inspired and essential. It underscores the responsibility of the prophet to ensure that God's message is conveyed in its entirety, without distortion or omission.

which Jehoiakim king of Judah burned up
The reference to "Jehoiakim king of Judah" highlights the historical context of the narrative. Jehoiakim was a king known for his rebellion against God and disregard for prophetic warnings. The act of burning the scroll was a deliberate attempt to reject and silence God's message. This phrase serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of rejecting divine revelation. It illustrates the futility of opposing God's will, as His Word endures despite human efforts to destroy it. The burning of the scroll symbolizes the rejection of God's authority, yet it also sets the stage for the reaffirmation of His unchanging truth.
