Description
Who was Baruch?
Baruch, son of Neriah, was the faithful scribe and companion of the prophet Jeremiah. He played a significant role in recording and delivering Jeremiah's prophecies to the people of Judah. In Jeremiah 36, Baruch wrote down Jeremiah's words on a scroll and read them in the temple, as the prophet was restricted from going there himself. When King Jehoiakim destroyed the scroll, Baruch rewrote the prophecies with additional messages from Jeremiah. Baruch also served as a witness to Jeremiah's purchase of a field, symbolizing God's promise of future restoration (Jer.32.12-16). He accompanied Jeremiah to Egypt after the fall of Jerusalem, despite the prophet's warnings (Jer.43.3-6). In Jeremiah 45, God spoke directly to Baruch, reassuring him of divine protection amidst the impending judgment on Judah. Baruch's unwavering support for Jeremiah, even in the face of opposition and personal risk, demonstrates his commitment to God's message and his loyalty to the prophet.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The 10 best-attested of 14 are drawn. All 14 are listed below.
Places
Where this happens
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
