So Jeremiah took another scroll
The act of taking "another scroll" signifies a renewal of God's message despite human attempts to destroy it. The Hebrew word for "scroll" is "מְגִלָּה" (megillah), which refers to a rolled document. This highlights the perseverance of divine revelation. Historically, scrolls were made of papyrus or leather, emphasizing the labor and care involved in preserving God's word. Jeremiah's action underscores the indestructibility of God's message, a theme echoed throughout Scripture.

and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe
Baruch, whose name means "blessed," plays a crucial role as Jeremiah's scribe. The term "scribe" (סוֹפֵר, sofer) indicates a learned individual responsible for writing and preserving texts. Baruch's lineage, "son of Neriah," suggests a family of some standing, possibly with connections to the temple or royal court. This partnership between prophet and scribe illustrates the collaborative effort in transmitting God's word, emphasizing the importance of faithful stewardship in preserving divine truth.

On it he wrote all the words of the scroll
The phrase "all the words" emphasizes the completeness and accuracy required in transmitting God's message. The Hebrew word for "words" (דְּבָרִים, devarim) often signifies not just spoken words but divine decrees. This meticulous process of rewriting underscores the sacred duty to maintain the integrity of God's revelation, reflecting the belief that every word is inspired and purposeful.

that Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire
Jehoiakim's act of burning the scroll is a direct rebellion against God's authority. The historical context reveals a king resistant to prophetic warnings, preferring political alliances over divine counsel. The fire symbolizes an attempt to obliterate God's word, yet it also serves as a metaphor for purification and judgment. This act of defiance highlights the tension between human authority and divine sovereignty, a recurring theme in the prophetic literature.

and many similar words were added to them
The addition of "many similar words" signifies not only the restoration but the expansion of God's message. This suggests that attempts to silence God's word often result in its amplification. The Hebrew concept of "adding" (יָסַף, yasaf) implies increase and continuation, reflecting the dynamic and living nature of divine revelation. This serves as an encouragement that God's purposes will prevail, regardless of human opposition, and His word will continue to speak to each generation with renewed relevance and power.

(32) And there were added besides unto them many like words.--The passage is interesting as showing, as it were, the genesis of the present volume of the prophet's writings. The discourse delivered in the Temple court was, in modern phrase, revised and enlarged, dictated to Baruch as before, and in this shape has probably come down to us in Jeremiah 25.

Verse 32. - Many like words. Thus Jehoiakim gained nothing by his sin (comp. Introduction).
