Jeremias 36:22 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:22

Now the king sat in the winter house, in the ninth month
The month Cisleu, which answers to part of November, and part of December; and so was the midst of winter, and a proper time for the king to be in his winter house; though, as this was a fast day, it would have been more proper for him to have been at the worship of God in the temple, ( Jeremiah 36:9 ) . This winter house probably was a winter parlour, as distinguished from a summer parlour, ( Judges 3:20 ) ; and both might be under the same roof, or parts of the same house; only the one might be more airy and cool, and the other more close and warm. Kings had their summer and winter houses; see ( Amos 3:15 ) ; this circumstance is mentioned for the sake of what follows, the burning of the roll; and accounts for there being a fire at hand to do it: and [there was a fire] on the hearth burning before him;
there was a stove, or some such vessel or instrument, in which a large fire of wood was made, at which the king sat to keep himself warm while the roll was reading, and about which the princes stood.

Jeremias 36:22 In-Context

20 Então deixaram o rolo na sala de Elisama, o secretário, foram ao pátio do palácio real e relataram tudo ao rei.

21 O rei mandou Jeudi pegar o rolo, e Jeudi o trouxe da sala de Elisama, o secretário, e o leu ao rei e a todos os líderes que estavam a seu serviço.

22 Isso aconteceu no nono mês. O rei estava sentado em seus aposentos de inverno, perto de um braseiro aceso.

23 Assim que Jeudi terminava de ler três ou quatro colunas, o rei as cortava com uma faca de escrivão e as atirava no braseiro, até que o rolo inteiro foi queimado no braseiro.

24 O rei e todos os seus conselheiros que ouviram todas aquelas palavras não ficaram alarmados nem rasgaram as suas roupas, lamentando-se.
