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 Micai'ah the son of Gemari'ah, son of Shaphan, heard all the words of the LORD from the scroll,

12 he went down to the king's house, into the secretary's chamber; and all the princes were sitting there: Eli'shama the secretary, Delai'ah the son of Shemai'ah, Elna'than the son of Achbor, Gemari'ah the son of Shaphan, Zedeki'ah the son of Hanani'ah, and all the princes.

13 And Micai'ah told them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.

14 Then all the princes sent Jehu'di the son of Nethani'ah, son of Shelemi'ah, son of Cushi, to say to Baruch, "Take in your hand the scroll that you read in the hearing of the people, and come." So Baruch the son of Neri'ah took the scroll in his hand and came to them.

15 And they said to him, "Sit down and read it." So Baruch read it to them.
