Jeremiah 36 is the thirty-sixth chapter of the Book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. It is numbered as Jeremiah 43 in the Septuagint. This book contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Jeremiah, and is one of the Books of the Prophets. This chapter records the burning of a scroll of Jeremiah's prophecy by King Jehoiakim and the creation of another scroll by Baruch the scribe, acting on Jeremiah's instructions. [1]
The original text was written in Hebrew. This chapter is divided into 32 verses. Some scholars see a literary parallel with 2 Kings 22, contrasting the reactions of Josiah (tearing his clothes when hearing the reading of the scroll of God's word) and Jehoiakim (tearing Jeremiah's scroll, as an "act of defiance" against God). [1]
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008). [2]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (with a different chapter and verse numbering), made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Sinaiticus (S; BHK: S; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century). [3]
The order of chapters and verses of the Book of Jeremiah in the English Bibles, Masoretic Text (Hebrew), and Vulgate (Latin), in some places differs from that in the Septuagint (LXX, the Greek Bible used in the Eastern Orthodox Church and others) according to Rahlfs or Brenton. The following table is taken with minor adjustments from Brenton's Septuagint, page 971. [4]
The order of Computer Assisted Tools for Septuagint/Scriptural Study (CATSS) based on Alfred Rahlfs' Septuaginta (1935), differs in some details from Joseph Ziegler's critical edition (1957) in Göttingen LXX. Swete's Introduction mostly agrees with Rahlfs' edition (=CATSS). [4]

The parashah sections listed here are based on the Aleppo Codex. [5] Jeremiah 36 is a part of the "Fifteenth prophecy (Jeremiah 36- 39)" in the section of Prophecies interwoven with narratives about the prophet's life ( Jeremiah 26 -45). {P}: open parashah; {S}: closed parashah.
The New International Version suggests instead:
Theologian Albert Barnes states that Jeremiah may have been "hindered, perhaps through fear of Jehoiakim"; [12] A. W. Streane suggests Jeremiah "was hindered from addressing the people by ceremonial uncleanness". [13] Benjamin Blayney suggests that, as he has before been tried in front of the princes in Jeremiah 26, Jeremiah had been put under some restraint, perhaps forbidden to enter the precincts of the Temple". [14]
Jehoiakim's rejection to the words in the scroll results in the tragic end of the monarchy and his own life. [34]
Jeremiah used the destruction of the first scroll (KJV: "roll") as a symbol for Jehoiakim's later death ( Jeremiah 22:18– 19; 2 Kings 24:6– 15) and asked Baruch to wrote another roll with expanded contents of the first one. [1]
