Jeremiah 36:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:13

Then Micaiah declared all the words that he had heard
The sum and substance of them; for it cannot be thought that he should retain in his memory every word that he had heard; though, as it is very probable he was much struck and affected with what he had heard, he might remember and declare a great deal of it: when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people;
and this he also declared, no doubt, that what he had heard, and then related, were read by Baruch out of a book; as is clear from the princes sending for Baruch, and ordering him to bring the roll along with him, as in ( Jeremiah 36:14 ) .

Jeremiah 36:13 In-Context

11 When Micaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the Lord from the scroll,

12 he went down to the scribe's chamber in the king's palace. All the officials were sitting there-Elishama the scribe, Delaiah son of Shemaiah, Elnathan son of Achbor, Gemariah son of Shaphan, Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the other officials.

13 Micaiah reported to them all the words he had heard when Baruch read from the scroll in the hearing of the people.

14 Then all the officials sent [word] to Baruch through Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, "Bring the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come." So Baruch son of Neriah took the scroll and went to them.

15 They said to him, "Sit down and read [it] in our hearing." So Baruch read [it] in their hearing.
