Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 913: Βαρούχ (Barouch), which is the Greek transliteration of the Hebrew name Baruch. This entry is used in the Septuagint and other Greek texts to refer to the same individual known in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Baruch is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to specific individuals, most notably the scribe and companion of the prophet Jeremiah. Context: Baruch is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, primarily known as the son of Neriah and the faithful scribe and assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. His role is crucial in the context of the Babylonian exile, as he is responsible for writing down Jeremiah's prophecies and delivering them to the people. Baruch's dedication to his task is evident in several passages, where he is seen recording the words of Jeremiah and reading them to the public, as well as to the officials of Judah. In the Book of Jeremiah, Baruch is mentioned in several key instances. In Jeremiah 36, he is instructed by Jeremiah to write down all the words that the Lord had spoken to the prophet and to read them in the temple. This act of obedience and courage places Baruch in a position of danger, as the message was not well-received by the authorities. Despite the risks, Baruch remains steadfast in his duties, demonstrating his loyalty and faith. Baruch's relationship with Jeremiah is one of close companionship and mutual support. In Jeremiah 45, a personal message from the Lord is directed to Baruch, acknowledging his struggles and promising him protection amidst the coming calamities. This passage highlights Baruch's human side, revealing his fears and aspirations, and God's assurance to him. The figure of Baruch is also associated with several apocryphal writings, such as the Book of Baruch, which, although not included in the Hebrew Bible, reflects themes consistent with his role as a scribe and a man of faith.
