Jeremias 36:5 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:5

And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I [am] shut up
In prison, according to Jarchi; but this is not likely, for then there would have been no occasion for an order to take him, ( Jeremiah 36:26 ) . Grotius thinks he was obliged by the king's order to stay at home; possibly he might be restrained by the Spirit of God, or had not freedom in his own mind to go abroad; there might be a restraint, an impulse upon his spirit, by the Spirit of God. Some think he was under some legal pollution, which made him unfit to go into the temple: for it follows: I cannot go into the house of the Lord:
labouring either under some bodily infirmity, or ceremonial defilement, or was forbidden by the king. What was the true cause is not certain; but so it was, that either he was discharged, or disabled, or disqualified, from going into the house of God.

Jeremias 36:5 In-Context

3 Talvez, quando o povo de Judá souber de cada uma das desgraças que planejo trazer sobre eles, cada um se converta de sua má conduta e eu perdoe a iniquidade e o pecado deles”.

4 Então Jeremias chamou Baruque, filho de Nerias, para que escrevesse no rolo, conforme Jeremias ditava, todas as palavras que o SENHOR lhe havia falado.

5 Depois Jeremias disse a Baruque: “Estou preso; não posso ir ao templo do SENHOR.

6 Por isso, vá ao templo do SENHOR no dia do jejum e leia ao povo as palavras do SENHOR que eu ditei, as quais você escreveu. Você também as lerá a todo o povo de Judá que vem de suas cidades.

7 Talvez a súplica deles chegue diante do SENHOR, e cada um se converta de sua má conduta, pois é grande o furor anunciado pelo SENHOR contra este povo”.
