So Baruch son of Neriah
Baruch, whose name means "blessed" in Hebrew, was a faithful scribe and companion to the prophet Jeremiah. His lineage, being the son of Neriah, suggests a family of some standing, possibly with priestly or noble connections. Baruch's role as a scribe was crucial in a time when literacy was not widespread, and his dedication to Jeremiah's mission highlights the importance of supporting roles in God's work. His faithfulness serves as an inspiration for believers to support and uphold God's message, even when it is challenging.

did everything Jeremiah the prophet had instructed him to do
This phrase underscores Baruch's obedience and trust in Jeremiah, who was a true prophet of God. The Hebrew root for "instructed" (צוה, tsavah) implies a command or charge, indicating that Baruch's actions were not merely suggestions but divinely inspired directives. This obedience is a model for Christians, emphasizing the importance of following God's commands through His appointed leaders, even when the task is daunting or dangerous.

at the LORD’s temple
The temple in Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship and a symbol of God's presence among His people. By reading the scroll at the temple, Baruch was placing God's word at the heart of the community's spiritual life. This act signifies the importance of proclaiming God's word in places of worship, reminding believers that the church is a place where God's voice should be heard clearly and authoritatively.

he read the words of the LORD
The phrase "words of the LORD" emphasizes the divine origin of the message. In Hebrew, "word" (דבר, davar) can also mean "matter" or "thing," indicating the substantial and active nature of God's communication. Baruch's reading was not just a recitation but a proclamation of God's living and active word, which has the power to convict, guide, and transform. This highlights the responsibility of believers to faithfully communicate God's word, trusting in its inherent power.

from the scroll
The use of a scroll indicates the written preservation of God's message, a practice that underscores the importance of Scripture. In ancient times, scrolls were the primary medium for recording texts, and their use here signifies the permanence and authority of God's word. This serves as a reminder of the value of Scripture in the life of the believer, encouraging Christians to engage with the Bible as the enduring and authoritative word of God.
