Jeremiah 36:4
Arabic Bible ERV 2009
فَاستَدعَى إرْمِيا بارُوخَ بْنَ نِيرِيّا. وَكَتَبَ بارُوخُ عَلَى المَخطُوطَةِ ما أملاهُ عَلَيهِ إرْمِيا، أي جَميعَ كَلامِ اللهِ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ إلَى إرْمِيا.
What Does This Mean?
Jeremiah asked Baruch to write down all the messages from God that Jeremiah had received. Baruch wrote these messages on a scroll. The key message is about preserving God's words through writing.
Explained for Children
