Jeremiah 36:27-28

Baruch and Jeremiah Write Another Scroll

36:27 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah after Jehoiakim had burned the scroll containing what Jeremiah had spoken and Baruch had written down. ¹  36:28 “Get another ²  scroll and write on it everything ³  that was written on the original scroll ⁴  that King Jehoiakim of Judah burned.

[36:27]  ¹ tn Heb “Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah after the king had burned the scroll and the words [= containing the words] which Baruch wrote down from the mouth of Jeremiah, saying.”

[36:28]  ² tn Heb “Return, take another.” The verb “return” is used in the sense of repetition “take again” (cf. BDB 998 s.v. שׁוּב Qal.8). The idea is already contained in “Get another” so most modern English versions do not represent it.

[36:28]  ³ tn Heb “all the former words/things.”

[36:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “first [or former] scroll.”
