Context — The Reading of the Scrollgenerated

15“Please sit down,” they said, “and read it in our hearing.” So Baruch read it in their hearing.
16When they had heard all these words, they turned to one another in fear and said to Baruch, “Surely we must report all these words to the king.”
17“Tell us now,” they asked Baruch, “how did you write all these words? Was it at Jeremiah’s dictation?”
18“It was at his dictation,” Baruch replied. “He recited all these words to me and I wrote them in ink on the scroll.”

Jeremiah 36:16 describes a pivotal moment when the people, after hearing the words read by Baruch, are struck with fear and realize the urgency of reporting these words to the king. This reflects their understanding of the weight of the message and its implications for their leadership and community. The surrounding verses illustrate the context of this reading and the reactions of the listeners, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

The Key Word פָּחֲד֖וּ, pa.cha.Dugenerated

The verb פָּחַד (pachad) means to dread or fear, indicating a strong emotional response to what they have heard. This word captures the essence of being startled or filled with awe, often in the presence of something significant or alarming.

In this verse, the use of פָּחַד highlights the gravity of the message they received. Their fear prompts them to turn to one another, illustrating a communal response to the weight of the words they have just heard.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

The translations agree on the meaning of the key terms in this verse, particularly the sense of fear and the necessity to report to the king.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb is וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ֙, and they said, which governs the entire sentence. The structure includes a series of phrases that describe their actions and reactions after hearing the words.

The sentence is built around the sequence of events: first, they hear, then they turn in fear, and finally, they communicate their decision to Baruch. This ordered structure emphasizes the flow of their emotional response.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates פָּחַד as συνεβουλεύσαντο, which conveys a sense of deliberation or counsel. This choice indicates that their fear led them not only to react but also to consider their next steps carefully.

This reflects a broader interpretation of their fear, suggesting that it prompted them to seek advice on how to proceed with the message they received.

They were all of them afraid: Jeremiah had now been above twenty years a prophet to this people, and doubtless in great esteem for eighteen years of it, while Josiah was alive, and one whose prophecies they could not but observe had been oft accomplished; therefore they could not but be afraid that they should see these words also fulfilled, and took themselves bound in duty to acquaint the king with them.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(16) They were afraid both one and other . . .—The words indicate a conflict of feelings. They were alarmed for themselves and their country as they heard, with at least a partial faith, the woes that were threatened as impending. They were alarmed also for the safety of the prophet and the scribe who had the boldness to utter those woes. They have no hostile purpose in communicating what they had heard to the king, but the matter had come to their official knowledge, and they had no alternative but to report it (Leviticus 5:1; Proverbs 29:24).

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).

ba'-ruk, bar'-uk (baruk; Barouch, "blessed"):

(1) Son of Neriah and brother of Seraiah, King Zedekiah's chamberlain (Jer 51:59). He was the devoted friend (Jer 32:12), the amanuensis (36:4 ff,32) and faithful attendant (36:10 ff; Josephus, Ant, X, vi, 2) of the prophet Jeremiah. He seems to have been of noble family (see Ant, X, ix, 1; compare Jer 51:59; Baruch 1:1). He was also according to Josephus a man of unusual acquirements (Ant., X, ix, 1). He might have risen to a high position and seemed conscious of this, but under Jeremiah's influence (see Jer 45:5) he repressed his ambition, being content to throw in his lot with the great prophet whose secretary and companion…

Baruch

Blessed. (1.) The secretary of the prophet Jeremiah (32:12; 36:4). He was of the tribe of Judah (51:59). To him Jeremiah dictated his prophecies regarding the invasion of the Babylonians and the Captivity. These he read to the people from a window in the temple in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah (Jer. 36). He afterwards read them before the counsellors of the king at a private interview; and then to the king himself, who, after hearing a part of the roll, cut it with a penknife, and threw it into the fire of his winter parlour, where he was sitting.

During the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, he was the keeper of the deed of purchase Jeremiah had made of the territory of Hanameel (Jer. 32:12). Being accused by his enemies of favouring the Chaldeans, he was cast, with Jeremiah, into prison, where he…

(blessed). Son of Neriah, the friend, (Jeremiah 32:12) amanuensis, (Jeremiah 26:4-32) and faithful attendant of Jeremiah. (Jeremiah 36:10) ff. (B.C. 603.) He was of a noble family, comp. (Jeremiah 51:59) Bar. 1:1, and of distinguished acquirements. His enemies accused him of influencing Jeremiah in favor of the Chaldaeans, (Jeremiah 43:3) cf.

King

Is in Scripture very generally used to denote one invested with authority, whether extensive or limited. There were thirty-one kings in Canaan (Josh. 12:9, 24), whom Joshua subdued. Adonibezek subdued seventy kings (Judg. 1:7). In the New Testament the Roman emperor is spoken of as a king (1 Pet. 2:13, 17); and Herod Antipas, who was only a tetrarch, is also called a king (Matt. 14:9; Mark 6:22).

This title is applied to God (1 Tim. 1:17), and to Christ, the Son of God (1 Tim. 6:15, 16;

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).
