Jeremiah 29:28

Context
29:28 For he has even sent a message to us here in Babylon. He wrote and told us, 1  “You will be there a long time. Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.”’” 2 

Jeremiah 36:4

Context

36:4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. Then Jeremiah dictated to Baruch everything the Lord had told him to say and Baruch wrote it all down in a scroll. 3 

1 tn Heb “For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying….” The quote, however, is part of the earlier letter.

2 sn See v. 5.

3 tn Heb “Then Baruch wrote down on a scroll from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he [the Lord] had spoken to him [Jeremiah].” The syntax of the Hebrew sentence is awkward and hard to reproduce “literally” in any meaningful way. The English sentence has been restructured to reproduce all the pertinent facts in more simplified language.
