28 rursum tolle volumen aliud et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores qui erant in volumine primo quod conbusit Ioachim rex Iuda

Jeremiah 36:28 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 36:28

Take thee again another roll
Or a piece of parchment; or rather several pieces of parchment glued or rolled up together: and write in it all the former words that were in the first roll, which
Jehoiakim the king of Judah hath burnt;
just as when the two tables of the law were broken, two others were made, and the same laws written on them; and so here the same Spirit of God, which brought to the mind of the prophet all his former discourses and prophecies, so that he could readily dictate them to Baruch, could and did renew them again; wherefore Jehoiakim's burning of the roll signified nothing: all attempts to destroy the word of God are in vain; they always have been, and will be; for the word of the Lord endures for ever.

Jeremiah 36:28 In-Context

26 et praecepit rex Hieremahel filio Ammelech et Saraiae filio Ezrihel et Selemiae filio Abdehel ut conprehenderent Baruch scribam et Hieremiam prophetam abscondit autem eos Dominus
27 et factum est verbum Domini ad Hieremiam postquam conbuserat rex volumen et sermones quos scripserat Baruch ex ore Hieremiae dicens
28 rursum tolle volumen aliud et scribe in eo omnes sermones priores qui erant in volumine primo quod conbusit Ioachim rex Iuda
29 et ad Ioachim regem Iuda dices haec dicit Dominus tu conbusisti volumen illud dicens quare scripsisti in eo adnuntians festinus veniet rex Babylonis et vastabit terram hanc et cessare faciet ex illa hominem et iumentum
30 propterea haec dicit Dominus contra Ioachim regem Iuda non erit ex eo qui sedeat super solium David et cadaver eius proicietur ad aestum per diem et ad gelu per noctem
